Sequoia National Forest not Sequoia National Park. Escape to the forest and enjoy beautiful, spacious secluded 3-bedroom 2 bath mountain log guest home on our 54-ac. horse ranch. At 4900' elevation in the Sequoia National Forest & Monument. Note this is not Seqouia National Park, which is 2 hours away. The Seqouia Forest has Sequoia grove also. Trail of 100 giants is 45–60-minute drive from ranch depending on your Mtn driving. Forest trails and sites surround ranch.
The home sleeps 5-6 guests MAX. (1 King bed bdr, 1 Queen bdr, 2 twin beds in 3rd bdr.). 2 bathrooms including a Jacuzzi bathtub in master bath. The house is fully equipped with dishware, cookware, kitchen appliances including a Keurig and drip coffee pot, washer, dryer, heating, A/C, fireplace, WIFI and TV and extras. large Front porch & back deck with views of mountains, forest, wildlife, horses & stars! This secluded location and fantastic house is perfect getaway from the city or crowds. Horseback riding lesson and guided trail rides, depending on rider skill, may be available depending on availability of our horses, our personnel and the weather. You reserve in advance so we can check availability and plan. Three riders at a time maximum and requires a signed HHA, proper attire. All rides start by riding in round pin then progress depending on ability. Cost $60 ph. each 2-hour minimum.
Posey is actually just a Post Office serving a rural area in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains of Tulare County. The closest town is the small town of Glennville 11 miles from rental. Glennville is a small ranch town with 3 cafes, 2 with bars and 2 stores, Mtn Market about 1 mie out of town is like a 7/11 and the Highway 155 mkt in the center of Glennville is medium size. Expect prices to include extra transportation. No gas or charging stations anywhere in mountains so do not leave the last full-service town without filling up.
if you want to get away from it all. You have 54 acres of ranch, open space and forest around you, instead of being in a subdivision surrounded by other cabins and people. The rental house was our parents' home on our horse ranch. We live on the ranch about a ¼ mile apart from the rental. Our ranch and the surrounding Sequoia National Forest are a relaxed place to get away from crowds and in tune with nature on the trails on the ranch and the surrounding National Forest. Relax and enjoy the great views, watching wildlife and the horses or stargaze from the from the large front porch or the back deck. If you have not seen the night sky away from the city, you will be amazed. All summer & winter mountain sports can be enjoyed. Hiking, horse riding on ranch & surrounding Forest Service Trails. Dirt bikes and E-bikes on designated Forest Service trails only. Then again you may just want to cozy up to the fireplace with a book.

We provide an information book on area sites and activities. There is a small stream, Poso Creek, you can explore on National Forest public land very close to the ranch with a road and trails from the ranch to it. Fish in the Poso creek are small natives that take skill to catch. There are other streams in the area you can fish, the ones that are planted with fish are about 45 minutes away or the Kern River an hour away. There are forest service trails and roads in the area. There are two historic lookouts about 30 minutes away and Giant Seqouia groves such as those along the Trail of 100 Giants about 40 miles or 1 hour away.
In the spring and summer white water rafting can be booked in Kernville on the Kern River about 36 miles (1 hour) away along with boating and fishing in lake Isabella.

In winter, if there is enough snow, you can x-country ski, snow mobile, snowshoe. While we do not get snow real often, we do get snow several times between Oct and May. Sometimes about 3 feet. You must be prepared to use 4x4 or chains in winter as snows can happen suddenly. The roads are not plowed at night and only once about midday. When there is over a foot 4X4 and chains are needed if you need to leave before they plow. So, check weather often. The driveway is up hill to leave so if it snows you usually need to park at the top by the county road. The closest downhill ski area is Shirley Meadows, about 30 minutes away, but they do not have enough snow to be open all winter. The closest ski area opened most of the winter is China Pk. about 2 hours away.

Pets or horses maybe ok with addition fees, advance notification required. Panel corral available. Well behaved dogs, in other words: house broke, they do not jump up on walls and windows sills when they see something strange or want to chase horses and wildlife. You are responsible for any cleanup or damage and if you rent that means you agree to pay for any costs related to pets. But be advised that dogs must be controlled at all times. We hate to see any pet injured so for their safety you need to know that running lose can cause them to by injured or worse by wild animals that attack dogs and by ranchers. CA Law says a rancher may shoot a dog that chases or harasses livestock. There is lots of livestock in the area.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Host profile image
I was raised here, I worked logging and on ranches as a teen. Then went to work for the US Forest Service in Fire Management, my first career. I retired early and then worked for Kern County Fire & Forestry Dept for a second 20 years

Why they chose this property

This is the woods I where I was raised and it is wonderful. I lived in forests all over the state with the USFS and finally promoted back to the Sequoia forest and we built a home on my folk's ranch. We, know own the ranch and we now rent what was the dream home my mom had my dad build after years of living in a really old and rough cabin.

What makes this property unique

Everything, it's a log home all by itself on a horse ranch surrounded by the forest, wildlife and beauty. The home is bigger than it looks. It’s very comfortable and it has everything, it’s ready to go. All you need is food and cloths. This is a secluded little-known area of Sequoia National Forest in the Sierra Nevada mountains at 4900 ft elevation. The closest town is a small ranch town of Glennville, 11 miles (20 minutes) away.
