Fort Beatty is a very special getaway. The view of the mountains are truly spectacular. A large family of deer come through the property twice a day! There are many trails for hiking. Several groves of Giant Sequoias surround this area. The closest grove is located 1 mile away at Belknap Campground and the Trail of 100 Giants is only 40 minutes up Highway 190. Maps will be available for you to browse. Fort Beatty looks like a real fort. Built with local wood from pine, redwood and cedar. Views of the mountains are available from every window. Mountain quail, Acorn woodpeckers, Redtailed Hawks, Eagles, and many wild birds can be seen from the main floor window. The Tule River flows through nearby and trout are abundant seasonally. Waterfalls and wildflowers are gorgeous! Also fishing for trout in the spring and early summer. During the summer months swimming in the Tule River is so refreshing! In winter watch the snow falling outside the large picture window, while curled up in front of the fireplace. Sleds and toboggans are available for playing in the meadow. Year round the mountains will please the eye and nurture the soul. You have to see it to believe it! Pets are part of your family and we are happy to host them too! Just bring their essentials and be the responsible owners that you are! The breezeway entrance is gated at both the front and back.
