I have lots of pots, pans, and plenty of dishes. No one has ever complained about that out of the last 140 groups that have stayed there. I wish you had been a little more specific.

Great space for a trip to the sequioas

We had an awesome time at this home! It was close to the park and enough space for the whole family. It's tucked in between some picturesque hills and we felt very relaxed there. The host was very communicative.

Amazing Time

This place is awesome. Lots of space inside and outside of the home. We loved the hikes into the hills and the unexpected hero was Pac-Man. Definitly a memorable "Thanksmas" for the families that came

Great place, very pretty and extremely kind host. Cameras were not listed on listing though.

Very nice place, very good house and pretty area. Cameras were not listed on original property listing but there were multiple at the house. The cleanup instructions were a bit longer than other places I've stayed but otherwise good place.

Great location for a big gathering

Carri was great in communication. Great place to host a big gathering. Very close to kings canyon and not far from the hwys too. The only thing I was disappointed by is this house has 5 bedrooms. I mistook the listing and thought it was going to be 6 bedrooms.
