About this property

Ponderosa Cabin ~ rustic comfort + WiFi by Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks

The Ponderosa Cabin offers a rustic setting with vintage charm, along with modern amenities. After spending the day at nearby Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, enjoy cocktails on the spacious deck, a hot shower in the clawfoot tub, games by the fireplace (knockoff game of Twister anyone?). Or just read and relax in the main bedroom downstairs or upstairs bedroom. The Ponderosa Cabin has gorgeous interior walls of knotty pine. And yes, there's Internet--when you need it. You’ll find a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of room in the cabin for up to 4 guests.

Our cabin, fondly named after the beautiful Ponderosa pine tree with golden bark, is nestled in a quiet setting. You may see wild turkeys up the hill in the morning or deer grazing at dusk at certain times of the year. At higher elevation in the National Parks you’ll find Ponderosa pines growing alongside giant Sequoias. It's a 20 minute drive to the entrance of Kings Canyon (Big Stump entrance) along Hwy 180. This is the best of all worlds: you have a gateway to the National Parks and a private setting in the woods. If you like the mountains, this is your retreat.

If there is snow at higher elevations in the winter or early spring, tire chains could be required in the National Parks and on Hwy 180. Kings Canyon National Park is at 6000+ ft. elevation; it may be clear at the cabin but you could encounter snow as you head up into higher elevations.

Please remember this is not a hotel. Stairs to the upstairs bedroom are narrow and steep. Access to parks is convenient but local roads are winding. Note there's an unpaved road for a quarter mile leading to the cabin. There are no grocery stores or banks near the cabin, although there's a restaurant in walking distance. (Grant Grove Village in Kings Canyon NP is 30 minutes away by car, and there are gas stations, convenience stores and restaurants along Hwy 180.)

The Ponderosa Cabin was exactly what we hoped for and more. The house was very clean and well-kept. I booked this cabin because the photos showed beautiful trees right outside the windows, and it did not disappoint: the scenery was stunning. We even saw four deer right outside the cabin!Our host was incredibly attentive, checking in with us from the moment we made the reservation until after we checked out. Their communication made the whole stay feel smooth and cared for. Make sure to carefully read the instructions and important information that is sent. Highly recommend this cabin for a peaceful, scenic getaway.

Super cute cabin, loved the furniture and decor. We definitely enjoyed the fireplace. Ladder/stairs to the loft bedroom were steep, so older or accident prone people (like me) just be aware. We saw deer and a flock of turkeys both mornings as we left. Super convenient to Kings/Sequoia. Pay attention to the directions provided! The driveway is very close to the turn from the highway, we missed it at first because the house numbers aren’t in a regular order.

Quiet getaway near Sequoia and Kings Canyon

Great little getaway only 15 or 20 minutes away from big stump entrance. Cabin is nestled away in a nice quiet area. Lots of Wildlife nearby. We even saw a wild Tom Turkey strutting his stuff on the hillside. The cabin had easy access to big stump entrance.

Cool place! Mash up of knotty wood cabin, mid century modern and garage sale finds!

Description of the property is quite accurate - access to the upper level can be better described as climbing a ladder - these are not steps. Put the young un’s upstairs would be the recommendation. Outdoor furniture is weathered and quite tired. Kudos to the privacy and setting. Picked our fill of wild blackberries and enjoyed the visit by 3 mama turkeys and their broods.

Very nice cabin close to Sequoia National Park

Read the description of the cabin. It accurately describes the cabin. We rented it to mainly visit Sequoia NP. We did cook out one night on the patio. Very pleasant environment. It was easy to find everything one needed. Plenty of towels, sheets, etc. There is a restaurant 5 minutes away that offered food, drink and free pool. For the money spent, we felt it was a good value and would happily stay here again.

Great stay at the cabin

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Remote location, beautiful night skies and well stocked kitchen.Some things to note, every lamp in the property has a different way to turn on. Many lamps were unplugged so we had to figure it out. I am glad we were with friends coz the house is 1/4 of a mile from the main road. We ended up locking the gate to the property while we were there too. The drive to the property is a winding downhill with many hairpin and steep curves (about 4.5 miles).Very quiet area, within nature and within peaceful surroundings.

The cabin was deep in the woods down an unpaved downhill road. It was private because you had to close a gate and lock it shut when you went down the unpaved road. It rained and snowed and we were concerned that we would not be able get up the unpaved road to leave the property. The only heat was a couple of space heaters and a wood burning stove/fireplce. It was 58 degrees F in our bedroom the second morning. It was 36degrees outside. All the furnishings were ancient. The blankets on the bed were matted / dirty and nasty. The mattress was brand new. We saw the one they were remobving when we arrived and it was filthy. The couches and throw pillows felt dirty and very worn. We only stayed two of the three night that we booked.

Rustic

Great communication and lots of good info/warnings,esp about the dirt road leading to the cabin. Good wifi. Located fairly near entrance to King's Canyon. Nice deck, esp on a sunny day, surrounded by trees and birdsong. Appreciated being able to charge our electric car.All the furnishings & linens were quite vintage. Main problem was that the cabin, bathroom floor, and (very old) kitchenware were not clean.

We really enjoyed this property. It is much like a camp which was comfortable and kitschy. If you are high maintenance, not the place for you but 99% of folks will love it. The outside deck is wonderful. Added 10 new birds to my life list. The most outstanding aspect of this property is the proximity to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. I am a Park Geek, so this was perfect. In addition, the host is one of the best we have worked with. Communication was excellent and instructions were complete and understandable. Cabin is well stocked, which isn't always the case. I would highly recommend this property.

Quiet and relaxing rustic cabin in the woods

Li's cabin is just a short (and beautiful) drive away from Sequoia/Kings Canyon NP. Everything is comfortable -- nice deck for breakfasts and dinner, great fireplace, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen. Li is a gracious host, and gave us all the directions and help we needed. A+

About the host

Hosted by Li Lovett

Host profile image
Twenty years ago, Li spent a summer at Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks working on a botany crew and discovered giant sequoias, the largest living things on the planet. As an outdoor enthusiast, she’s hiked the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Virginia, did a pilgrimage (of sorts) with her husband on El Camino de Santiago, and roughed it in the deserts of California, Utah, and Arizona. But her favorite place is the mixed conifer forests of the Sierra Nevadas– the only place in the world where giant sequoias can be found on its western slopes.
