A long time spring along the old Jordan Trail, Bear Spring is now the source of water for this beautiful and unique vacation cabin and swimming pool. For peace and quiet this rural property (not in a resort development) cannot be beat.

Hike from your back door! Adjacent to Sequoia National Forest, there are literally miles of hiking without having to drive anywhere.

Newly remodeled, this 1800 sq. foot solar-powered hilltop cabin sits on a very private, gated 2 acre estate bordering Giant Sequoia National Monument in the Southern Sierra, just 12 miles from the Giant Sequoia groves at Balch Park.

At 2500 ft elevation, the treed park-like grounds have 360 degree views looking out to Mt. Dennison, Blue Ridge and the valley below. The home has two queen bedrooms, living room with sleeper sofa, love seat and sofa, two bathrooms, full kitchen with bar and breakfast area, formal dining area and game room.

Outdoor areas include a wrap around deck, covered back porch with seating, deck with seating by pool and seating pool-side.

This upscale vacation home boasts everything that you are looking for to provide a fun, peaceful and relaxing time for your family or small group of friends. An open plan with high, exposed beam ceilings and plenty of comfortable seating create a pleasant social atmosphere. Clerestory windows and French doors bring the outdoors in and provide plenty of light. The beautiful spring fed swimming pool will keep everyone cool and entertained in the summer, and the wood stove will warm winter evenings.

The Master Bath has been recently renovated with antique vanities, a claw foot bathtub and a travertine double shower with rain shower heads. Little luxuries like Wifi, DVD library, high thread count sheets, plush towels, down comforters make this luxury cabin extra special.

The game room, with classic billiard table and poker table, and outdoor ping pong table hoop-shooting and tether ball provide fun without ever having to leave the property. When you do venture out, there are lakes, rivers, waterfalls, winter snow and big trees only a few miles away.

Avoid hectic tourist crowds and discover the quiet beauty of the Giant Sequoia forests, rivers, lakes and waterfalls in Balch Park and Mountain Home State Forest within Sequoia National Monument. Ride horses among the Giants, hike, fish, bike and cross country ski. This cabin is located near the quaint village of Springville with restaurants, shops, local entertainment, a new park and visitors center.

Come for the Springville Sierra Professional Rodeo and Jackass Mail Run Weekend in April, wildflower touring March through May, bull riding events in August and Apple Festival in October.

  • We have stayed at several other vacation homes, and this our favorite! The house was terrific- comfortable and furnished with everything a family could want - and the location could not be beaten! The games and pool were terrific for the kids, and the pool table was a blast for the adults after a day of hiking and swimming. We will definitely be back.

  • The cabin was super. It is down the hill from Balch Park which has the Sequoias but not the huge crowds. Hike all day and jump in the pool in the afternoon. The house was in great condition and furnished with all of the basics. Secluded and quiet. Shelly the host was great giving us good info. We will definitely book again.

  • A super location, and great accommodations. The pool was clean and refreshing after a hike in the Sequoias. The pool table was fun diversion for our teens, and the parents liked the well equipped kitchen.

  • Dear Shelly, Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful cabin this past weekend. I have stayed in many rental properties from VRBO before and I have to say that yours was by far the nicest, cleanest, and most 'user friendly'. The information booklets you put together really helped us plan our time outside the cabin - we went on a few of the hikes suggested in the hikling book and they were amazing! Our time in the cabin could not have been beat... the ping pong / pool tables were so much fun, as was the great DVD collection! I will recommend Bear Springs to everyone I know!!! Thank You! John Parker, Brent Benedetti & Pam Lewis too!

  • We were delighted to find our accomodations literally right next door to the National Forest! The Wildflower Cabin was peaceful and serene, with the ammenities and decor updated and new. Everything was as portrayed on the website and the stay went smoothly. Mostly, we were thrilled with our time in the National Forest. We HIGHLY suggest taking time to explore the area closest to the cabin (Balch State Park and surrounding areas). We hiked Hidden Falls and saw some of the most amazing trees we could have imagined to see (Methuselah, Genesis, Oliver Twist, to name a few). For the price, you can't beat the location and scenery!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    The Wildflower Cabin is the guest cabin of Bear Spring Cabin.

  • We had an amazing time! My parents thoroughly enjoyed themselves too. The house is beautiful and the setting was just perfect for getting away from city life. My only regret is that we didn't have more time to explore the area. Would love to come back in the fall and commit some time to hiking. By the way, the dogs slept for DAYS from all of the running they did. Thanks again Mark
