Waterfall cabin is a romantic, newly refurbished, redwood shake cabin with lodge decor, new leather sleeper sofa, Franklin wood stove, and open beamed ceilings. Large picture windows on the south and east sides provide natural light and views that distinguish it from other mountain cabins.
The Waterfall cabin is in a private location on 1 1/2 acres surrounded by woodland and not within a mountain community or resort development. It is within the Sequoia National Monument at 3800 feet elevation and only an eight mile drive from Giant Sequoia Groves in Balch Park.
There are breathtaking view of the mountains to the east and an expansive view of the valley (sometimes to the Coast Ranges) to the west. It has a spacious 'tree house' deck with gas barbecue for outdoor relaxation. Luxury towels, Egyptian cotton linens, Turkish bath robes, and down comforters are provided for a special romantic experience. The cabin is now equipped with high speed internet and Wifi!
A stunning series of waterfalls and pools carved out of solid granite bedrock are on the property just behind the cabin on Bear Creek for swimming or relaxing by. It is a perfect 'out there' couple's retreat for those who want to lose the touristy scene and find some serenity. The cabin is situated above the level of the waterfalls and access is by a short but steep switchback trail down to Bear Creek.
A comprehensive hiking and recreation binder is provided at the house with maps and descriptions of local hikes, Big Trees, swimming and fishing holes, waterfalls, and scenic drives and horseback rides to help you plan your time.
Dog owners can take their dogs on the leash onto the Giant Sequoia National Monument trails in this area as opposed to the National Park where dogs are not allowed on trails.
The cabin is surrounded by pines, oaks, and manzanitas and serenaded by the sound of the waterfall. The site was a long-time camp for local Native Americans. Artifacts have been discovered here and mortar stones for grinding acorns surround the cabin. Naturalists and Bird watchers have wildlife viewing 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 down-home to upscale.
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.

Why the Owner Chose Springville
We loved this beautiful area of the Sequoia/ Sierra that is closest to the LA area but largely undiscovered by tourists. After we committed to the "simple life' and moved from LA, we thought it would be great to use our skills from building sets in the film industry to recreate some neglected cabins that had great locations and lots of potential so that others might be able to enjoy this rich area comfortably.
The Waterfall Cabin was a neglected 70's cabin with purple shag carpet and beaded curtains that had been taken over by mice. We spent a year giving it a complete interior redo and a new deck. We love it's western character and treehouse feel and the waterfalls are truly special and amazing.
The cabin sits just behind trees off a quiet road and is a short drive to the Giant Sequoia groves and the charming town of Springville.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
The private waterfalls and creek are a short downhill trail from the cabin which sits on a wooded bluff above. The sound is so soothing and the views make you feel like you're the only person on the mountain.

My husband and I spent two wonderful weeks at the Waterfall Cabin. It was all it was described to be and more! The proximity of the Great Sequoias makes the area special, to say the least. The owners of the property are gracious and hospitable, for example offering homegrown veggies from their garden. The furnishing of the cabin is clean, comfortable and tasteful, truly lovingly cared for. Not only would I recommend this property to anyone, but we hope to visit again in the near future.

My boyfriend and I booked this cabin for a romantic getaway to celebrate our 2nd year anniversary (hailing from Hollywood...we're always looking for woodsy, peaceful retreats). It was exactly what we were looking for! The cabin is very secluded and surrounded by beautiful mountains, trees and best of all...the backyard is literally a creek with rolling waterfalls. It took our breath away. It was too cold to go swimming since we visited in January, but I can imagine how wonderful it would be to visit in the spring or summer. Perfect for couples looking for a romantic escape or for a family vacation. The cabin itself is gorgeous too. Not too big - one bedroom & spacious living room)- but comfortable and cozy. The appliances are up to date, and the decor is a cool combo of rustically modern (or modernly rustic hehe). During the day we hung out by the creek and then took a scenic drive to go hiking and see the Sequoia trees. At night we lit the fireplace and cozied up to play board games and watch movies (the cabin has a great selection). We highly recommend this place and hope to come back again soon when it's warm enough to take advantage of the swimming holes. Happy guest, -Erica

What can I say, this rental cabin/house is beautiful, comfortable and has everything you need to ensure a comfortable stay. The owners did a great job labeling everything in the house so that you know how everything works. It got a little cold at night but we closed the heavy duty draperies and turned the heater and were surprised at how warm it got, we actually turned it off when we went to bed. Lots of wild life around us and beautiful scenary beyond every bend in the trail. No complaints although we did accidentally break the toilet paper roll. Sorry Shelly!! :-) -Mike and Nancy

My wife and I have spent a lot of time in cabin rentals; and this easily comes out on top of everywhere we've ever stayed. It's just a beautiful cabin, made idiot-proof by the hosts so that everything - from lighting a fire through to simply driving your car up the slope to the main road - is explained. Beautiful decor, nicely appointed, a multitude of heat options - a great log fire, complete with stacks of logs and even fire starter options for the uninitiated - if it's cold, and a gorgeous balcony if it's warm. More than that, five minutes' (steep) walk away is an amazing (amazing!) set of waterfalls that backs onto this very private property. We were blown away. It's more of a couples' place than, maybe, a family retreat, seeing as it only has the one real bedroom but for a couple... perfect. It totally gets the day-to-day kinks of your normal day-to-day grind out, exorcised by the time you get the first log on the fire... Nice bathroom, immaculate kitchen, iPod and a big TV is so inclined, all mod cons and sofas to sleep on or read. Isolated enough (as long as you don't mind the occasional neighbor's dog barking; noise travels out here...) so you feel pretty much alone. Cannot recommend this highly enough. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either, and for what it offers it's actually a total bargain...
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, age 55+.

Our stay at Waterfall Cabin was truly everything we needed, wanted and more. Arriving at the cabin, we found a fire laid in the gorgeous wood stove and our very own Christmas tree! Before we explored the flawlessly appointed cabin, we took a hike to the waterfall. Think 'Last of the Mohicans' type landscape in the Sierras and you have an idea of what we had the pleasure of experiencing. The cabin is equipped with everything one could think of for a getaway - the kitchen has Calphalon pans and pots, all one needs to pack a picnic, a blender, French Press...The linens are of a top quality along with the towels and robes provided. Games, movies, books and complete guides to the area, from well known tourist attractions to little known local hikes, with detailed directions and tips to make the most of ones' holiday. We hiked every day, cooked, read, photographed and completely unplugged. There was not one thing we did not like about the experience and we hope to go back to see the different seasons - bet the Spring is stunning. The owners have taken meticulous care to create the setting for a wonderful retreat - for couples like us, and also, I imagine, those with little ones too. They have 'idiot proofed' the cabin as we discovered when we thought we lost house keys too! So happy for this much needed holiday and we will return.

This is a perfect cabin to hide out in for a romantic vacation. It is nestled among the oak trees; beautifully decorated, fully equipped; has a really nice deck outside and if you are agile, a wonderful waterfall not far away. The description and pictures of the cabin are very accurate and the property is very clean and well-maintained. The owner is very helpful when needed and we would very much recommend this cabin to our friends.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights after a recent camping trip to Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. This cabin is a wonderful respite in a quiet and gorgeous canyon above Springville. The cabin was fully stocked with kitchen gear, nice linens and even cozy bathrobes. Shelly was very helpful with planning and gave great advice on grocery shopping on the way. You will definitely want to bring your own meal supplies, as you will not want to leave once you get there and explore the breathtaking waterfall behind the cabin. This is a well-hidden gem. We highly recommend it for a peaceful getaway.

We had a wonderfully peaceful stay at the cabin. The cabin is set in stunning countryside with fantastic views across the valley and of course set above the neighbouring waterfall. The owners clearly take great pride in their property and have paid great attention to detail to ensure that everything you could ever need to make your stay comfortable is provided. The cabin was everything that we hoped for and more, we were disappointed to have to leave so soon, but hope to be back again some day!
