It was an amazing stay at the cozy cottage! Traci and John greeted my wife and I, as well as our dog, and showed us around even though we checked in at 8pm. The tub was a great experience after going through the sequoia national park. Would love to come back for more nights!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit at the Cozy Cottage. The apartment was fun, clean, and eclectic. We had a short drive to the entrance of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. The hosts, John and Tracey, made the visit memorable and unique with their hospitality and breakfast . We would definitely consider coming back !

Home-away-from-home!

The cozy cottage was the perfect place to stay while visiting Yosemite and surrounding areas! It was clean and well equipped. John and Traci were super great. They provided a relaxing space, laughs and options for food purchases after a long day in the parks. Then a delicious delivered breakfast in the morning, a great way to start the day! We had an awesome stay!

An awesome home base for my exploration of Sequoia and Kings Canyon!

The whole cottage was comfortable and cozy, and that bathtub after a long day of hiking was amazing. The hosts made sure I had a hot breakfast every morning, and I was visited by wild turkeys and a friendly rooster. I would absolutely stay again!

This place was almost too nice. It was beautiful and comfortable. Comfy bed, gorgeous bathroom, a living area with a nice tv and lots of movies. It was one of the lodging accomodations closest to Kings Canyon National Park, and it allowed dogs. I couldn't ask for better.The grounds were a birdwatcher's dream. Because restaurants and grocery stores were not nearby, the hosts had brilliantly provided frozen meals and snacks and drinks for purchase at a nominal fee, and breakfast is included in the rental price. John and Traci are terrific people to stay with. I highly recommend this cottage for your national park visit.

About the host

Hosted by John Welsh

Host profile image
We have lived near the entrance to Kings Canyon National Park for 20 years. Our life's experiences, as well as our work experience, have helped us to understand, and flourish in the Hospitality business. Our aim is to provide our guests with a wonderful experience, and provide a home that each and every guest will love, and call their own.

Why they chose this property

Our property is conveniently located on a paved county road. It is a single story, with very easy access. Other properties in the area are very old, dirt roads, and are in conditions not worthy of a stay (in our opinion). Our property boasts old growth oaks, pines, manzanita, and plenty of room to enjoy nature. In addition to our 15 acre property where we live and host, we also have a 100 acre cattle ranch which our guests have access to. There you will find a seasonal creek, along with miles of trails, views, and above all else, serenity with no other humans present (other than a caretaker).

What makes this property unique

Aside from our easy access, our cottage is decorated to be pleasing to the eye, and comfort for the soul. Our guests find the comfort so amazing that they almost always make themselves at home. Our Cottage is a single floor plan, where there are no stairs required, no animal barns with farm-like aromas, and personal attentiveness is provided by both of us, unlike other locations where the owners are not present to meet the needs of each and every guest. In addition to the above, we pride ourselves on cleanliness. Each and every linen, including comforters is washed prior to each guests arrival. Extra linens are provided as well. Lastly, our large yard, as well as a 1 acre pasture for your personal enjoyment is available to each and every guest.
