Dennison House is your private wooded retreat on 15 acres only two miles from the Giant Sequoia National Monument at 2800-feet elevation. Surrounded on three sides by oak woodland, it has a spectacular view to the north of Dennison Peak and the snow-covered Sierra. A seasonal pond is a short walk from the house and there are 15 acres of woodland and creeks for rambling with your dogs and kids.
Dog owners can take their dogs on the leash onto the Sequoia Grove trails in this area as opposed to the National Park where dogs are not allowed on trails.
The 2900 sq ft house is recently refurbished and tastefully furnished with rustic country antiques and cool cowboy poster art. Cozy up to the wood-burning stove and play games, enjoy our DVD collection (stocked with cowboy movies and kids' favorites), or read a book from our fiction collection. The house has 3 queen bedrooms, 1 double bedroom and 1 bedroom with 2 twins. Queens and double have pillow top matresses for a comfy sleep. The living room has 2 queen sleeper sofas.
Drive just a few more miles up the mountain and see untouristed ancient Giant Sequoia groves, waterfalls and idyllic mountain lakes at Balch Park or Ponderosa or use the house as a hub for some of the best bicycle and motorcycle touring roads in the Sierras. Rent horses from Balch Park Pack Station for hourly or overnight riding. Our mountain region is a mecca for rock climbers, snow mobilers, back country horseman, and hang gliders.
There are many opportunities for fishing on Success Lake, the roaring Tule River and beautiful mountain lakes. Water sport enthusiasts will enjoy local Lake Success for jet skiing, boating and water skiing. Our area also has Eagle Mountain Casino for gaming, and River Island Country Club for golfing.
Naturalists and Bird watchers have wildlife wiewing galore in our untouched part of the Sierra. Roadsides, pastures and woodlands come alive in the Spring with native wildflowers and blossoming Redbuds and Dogwoods.
Take the scenic drive up Yokohl Valley road to the nearby towns of Exeter or Visalia and enjoy antiquing and art hunting in their historic downtowns. We are nearby the quaint untouched village of Springville with lovely gift shops and diverse eateries from downhome to upscale. Go for a tour of Tulare county's many murals in our historic old west towns or drive the Blossom Trail in April-May for miles of Apple blossoms in local orchards. Come slow down with us and enjoy a secret part of the Sierra largely undiscovered by tourists.
Come to the Springville area for our Springville Sierra PRCA Rodeo in late April or our popular Apple Festival craft and food fair in mid-October. Our spectacular wildflower season is March through May.

Homeowner Response:
Missing barbeque tools have been replaced. Mosquito season is relatively short here from mid May through mid June. Bug zapper lights and citronella candles are provided.

This is a truly great place for a family week off. I particularly loved the way you have furnished the house. Extremely clever and tasteful. I don't see this in America very often. We enjoyed the drives to the places of interest even though everything was very quiet this time of year. We had a smashing time.

Well, we've decided that this is absolute paradise and we're looking for ways to come live here forever. Sitting on the deck and watching the quail, wood [eckers and blue jays was wonderful. The sounds, sights and smells of the forest, plus the magnificent view of Dennison Peak are so restorative and calming. We recommend strolls to the bog and pond (if only the frogs weren't so shy!), horseback riding swimming and Star Feast at River Ridge Ranch and leisurely afternoons drinking ice water and talking on the deck. Thank you for the gorgeous retreat. We're looking forward to our next visit.

We enjoyed our stay-- very relaxing! The house had ample supplies and the DVD's were great! We enjoyed the view and drives in the mountains. Springville, Visalia, and Camp Nelson were all interesting places to see. We enjoyed the fireplace alot. Would recommend your cabin as a great place. We had everything we could have wanted and more!

Three Springs Ranch, Our family wanted to thank you for a wonderful holiday weekend. So many wonderful extras to make us all feel at home: Christmas tree, holiday lights, candles, candies, etc. We appreciated all you did and would highly recommend your lovely house in the future. Lots to do here. We played soccer, barbequed, went to the snow and went on numerous nature walks on the 15 acres. In closing, we were very pleased how well stocked the house was for all our needs and how nicely decorated the entire house is. Best Regards, The Aghassian Family (13 of us on this trip)
