Location: Pinehurst, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Gold Country & High Sierra, California, USA (15 Minute Drive to Giant Sequoias)
Accommodations: Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 3-6)
Looking for a comfortable and beautiful fall getaway? Spend a weekend in the Sierras, when the temperatures are cooler and everything is quieter. Fivespot is the perfect spot for chilling out, going for hikes, eating in comfort outside, or heading over to the Pinehurst Lodge for a beer.
Fivespot is just 15 minutes from Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park, which boasts world's largest living trees, scenic vistas, hiking trails in sequoia, fir, and pine forests. The rivers are fantastic - from the lovely Tokopah Falls to the raging Kings River.
* Fivespot is a perfect base for exploring these wonderful national parks. *
Much less visited than Yosemite, the Sequoia and Kings Canyon parks offer the breath-taking views, splendid outdoor experiences, and the towering sequoias, but without the crowds. You really feel the wildness of the American West.
Fivespot is smartly furnished, cozy and comfortable, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the company of your family and friends. There's a covered hand-made stone patio and a big fireplace. The bathroom is brand-new, with a custom shower and vintage bathtub. It even has a cedar sauna with its own outdoor shower.
Fivespot is private yet easy to get to and find, arty and well-designed yet casual and comfy. Our guests and friends have been enjoying it up until now - we think you will too. Here's hoping we'll see you soon!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
We are former New Yorkers (Brooklyn, to be exact) and artists. We moved to Pinehurst in 2003, bought the 1940's cabin next to our home in 2007, renovated it, and opened it as "fivespot cabin" in 2008. Here's hoping you'll stay at our place next time you come to the Sierras!
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
Fivespot is full of Bachrun's art and his collection of wonderful things he's collected over the years. The bookshelves are packed with classic favorites for readers young and old. We live in the house next door and are happy to provide assistance or advice about hiking or sightseeing.

We have loved our week at Fivespot cabin and appreciate all of the effort to make us feel at home here. The bird book and hiking guides were especially useful to us. We marvel at the number and variety of birds here and have enjoyed watching and hearing them. Thank you for sharing this special place.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful little cabin. We just loved it. Had a great time hiking in the Parks. It is such a thrill to see bears in the wild. If we ever come back to the area you can bet we will want to stay here again. Thanks again.
