WHAT GUESTS HAVE TO SAY


"Chris was an amazing host! So helpful throughout our stay! Will definitely be booking with him in the future, either this one or another of this home!

Thank you Chris everything was wonderful throughout our stay! Our family of 20 and I were very satisfied and had an excellent weekend getaway" — Diana, January 2026


"Our stay was absolutely amazing! The home was spacious and perfect for our group of 14—everyone had plenty of room and felt very comfortable throughout the trip. The space itself was well set up for groups, which made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our time together.

The host was incredibly responsive at all hours and went above and beyond to help me plan activities around the house, which made everything so much smoother. Their communication and support really elevated the entire experience.

We had such a fun and memorable time celebrating my birthday here. I would definitely recommend this place for large groups and would love to come back again!." — Saerom, May 2026



INSIDE SPACE

Two cabins joined into one large mountain property with 7 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 11 beds across more than 3 acres of private land. The combined footprint is what makes it work for big groups — connected enough that everyone shares meals and game nights, separated enough that the early risers don't wake the late sleepers. Vaulted wood ceilings, a dramatic stone fireplace in the main living room, and a sectional wide enough for the whole crew. Mountain views come in through the windows from across the property.



KITCHEN + DINING

The kitchen is set up to feed a crowd, not just a couple. Full-size appliances, real counter space for prep, and room for two or three people to cook at the same time without bumping elbows. A dining area handles the group meals — the spot where everyone lands for breakfast and ends up at again for dinner. The full bar in the game room is the other gathering point for drinks and after-dinner pours.



BEDROOMS

Seven bedrooms spread across the two combined cabins, set up for groups that mix couples, kids, and friends:



~Main Cabin~

Bedroom 1 — King. A primary suite with a king bed, the quiet room for parents or the couple who flew the farthest.

Bedroom 2 — Queen + Bunks. The bunk room. One queen bed plus two bunk beds — sleeps four kids easily, or a mix of kids and chaperones. The room the cousins will fight over.

Bedroom 3 — King. The second king room, ideal for a second couple or another set of parents.

Bedroom 4 — Queen. Bright with forest light, a queen bed and full closet space.


Bedroom 5 — Queen. Soft lighting, hotel-quality bedding, easy night's sleep.



~Bunkhouse~

Bedroom 6 — Queen. A second queen room, comfortable and quiet.

Bedroom 7 — Queen. Wooden bed frame, nightstands, easy access to the main living area — good for couples or grandparents who want to be close to the action.


Eleven beds total: 2 kings, 5 queens, 2 bunks. Plus 2 living room couches if your group goes over the official count.



BATHROOMS

Four full bathrooms — enough that the morning routine for a full house doesn't turn into a line. Each bathroom is stocked with towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so you can pack lighter for the group. 3 Full bathrooms in the Main Cabin, and 1 Full bathroom in the Bunkhouse.



GAME ROOM + ENTERTAINMENT

This is the room that sets this property apart from anything else on the mountain. Dedicated game room with:


* Full-size pool table

* Ping pong table

* Full bar

* A fireplace that anchors the room

* Plenty of space to move around it all



This is where the kids go after dinner, where the dads and uncles end up after the kids go to bed, and where the bachelorette photos always get taken. Plan on at least one full evening landing here.



The main living room is the second hub — vaulted ceiling, stone fireplace, deep sectional seating for the whole crew, and a smart TV for movie nights when the group wants to slow down.



WORKSPACE

A dedicated workspace and Wi-Fi throughout mean a remote workday from the cabin is possible if someone in the group needs to log on. Wi-Fi calling works for your phone since cell service is limited. Knock out the morning's emails, then walk to Trail of 100 Giants by lunch.



FAMILY & PET FRIENDLY

Built for multi-generational stays and dog-owners alike:



Dedicated bunk room — the kids' favorite by a mile

Two living rooms means the kids can have their space and the adults can have theirs

Game room keeps everyone entertained when the weather doesn't cooperate

Three-plus acres of trees and open ground for kids and dogs to run

Pet-friendly with advance approval

Self check-in via keypad — no front desk, no waiting after a long mountain drive



Pet rules: Welcome with advance approval. Pets off furniture, never left alone uncrated, and please pick up after them on the grounds. Pet-related extra cleaning starts at $250.



OUTSIDE SPACE

Step outside and the Sierra Nevada is right there. The hot tub faces the forest views — best at the end of the day, or first thing in the morning with a coffee. The fire pit sits ready for the evening conversations that go later than planned.



Three-plus acres of private ground surround the property. Trees, sky, quiet roads. The kids can run, the dogs can wander, and anyone who wants a walk can take one without leaving the property. Multi-car parking handles the reality of 16+ guests showing up across four or five vehicles.



A note on fire safety: Use the provided fire pit only. No campfires elsewhere on the property — Sequoia National Forest fire risk is real and the property sits inside it.
