This was a nice place to relax at the end of days filled with wedding prep and ceremonies. This home is within walking distance of the quaint town of Springville. Plenty of space to play games with family or watch shows on the TV. Gregg checked in with us when we arrived, during the stay, and at the end. We will definitely keep this place in mind for future trips as well as recommend it to others.

I did not have any difficulty finding the place, it just s perfectly visible off the main road.The inside is very spacious. Super clean. We enjoyed treats made available by owner. It was like they provided every toiletry I could think of. Drove to the river with the family and had a beautiful place to rest in. I can only say good things, we really enjoyed our stay.

The house is perfectly clean. Also, I want to mention an amazing soundproofing. There are no sounds from another rooms, it is amazing! All bedrooms and dining room are placed on the first floor, so, all rooms are really easy for access and ready for comfortable living. The house is located near Seqoia national forest entrance, but you should be ready for a long time travel. The road is very slow - it is serpentine. We visited that place in June 2026 and I have to say the forest is almost destroyed. But there are some beautiful places near camp Nelson and something else.One negative thought about the place: a lot of the bugs on the yard. Crickets, cockroaches, something else... I felt uncomfortable on the yard, but I understand it is their home. An I must to repeat: the house is perfectly clean!!!So, IMHO, it is 10 from 10 for national forest gateway.
