Fantastic cabin

Loved our stay at Piggly Pines cabin. Ann and John where wonderful hosts and made our stay perfect. The kiddos absolutely loved being able to play in the snow right out the front door, and the dogs loved running in the snow! The christmas lights on the cabin and in the trees were a favorite of the kids. Can't wait to come back to this cabin!

Peaceful get-away

Annie's Piggly Pines rustic cabin is a well-maintained gem hidden among thousands of beautiful pines and rocky outcrops. If you're looking to escape to a quiet, scenic and peaceful locale (and don't mind the 28-mile winding road), we highly recommend Ponderosa. The property owners are super friendly and made the registration process extremely easy.

Ann and John were incredible hosts! The home was immaculate and very cozy. Tons of trails to hike directly from the property. So nice to unplug from our phone and watch our dog romp around the woods. So gorgeous and serene. We will definitely be back.

Secluded get away

The cabin is located on a beautiful private meadow surrounded by the national forest, close to hiking trails and wonderful vistas. Very private. The cabin itself was cool and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. The hosts are exceptionally warm and welcoming, but with the greatest respect for the privacy of their guests. We are looking forward to returning.

Beautiful location, kind and thoughtful hosts

Wonderful and quiet location up in the trees. Plenty of room to stretch out. Hosts live close by but respect privacy. A restaurant/bar about a 20 minute walk away if you don’t feel like cooking. But who wouldn’t want to cook in that beautiful kitchen! 5 stars.

Refreshing Retreat

We had an amazing time in the meadow. Loved the fresh air and beautiful surroundings. It was great to have our lab Winnie with us as well. Lots of time to enjoy the cabin, prepare delicious meals, enjoy hammocks and swings and take in local attractions. Loved time on the trail of 100 Trees and the giant sequoias. It was just a perfect getaway. Thanks for being such wonderful hosts. We look forward to a return visit someday.

Cozy cabin in the most beautiful meadow!

We spent three days over Christmas and had a wonderful time. The cabin was rustic and modern, very clean and the kitchen was incredible! The wood burning stove was perfect, and Ann and Boz set you up to have anything you may need - wood and kindling, baking supplies, etc. They were kind and generous hosts! We hiked nearby trails with breathtaking views, and Trail of 100 Giants is just down the hill. We are so glad this area was spared from the recent fires, it’s gorgeous. We will definitely be back for another visit sometime soon!

Love the views, privacy, and hospitality!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this adorable cabin! We came for a long-weekend break from our daily lives, and it was the perfect get-away. Ann and John were excellent hosts. The communication was thorough and very helpful. Ann was super sweet, and John was such fun! They were there if you needed them, or left us to our privacy for a fun family weekend. The commercial-grade kitchen was terrific to cook in and we made some fabulous breakfasts on the griddle. We enjoyed time around the fire, and Bocce ball games. We hiked on trails that can be accessed right from the property, and John suggested some excellent fishing holes without any crowds. All-in-all a terrific time. We would come again!

A beautiful place in a beautiful location

The hosts, Ann and Boz, were gracious, warm, and welcoming. We enjoyed talking and sharing some laughter with them and were grateful for the fresh eggs they had waiting for us. The property is beautiful and the home is cozy and ingeniously built. We enjoyed cooking in the fabulous kitchen and sitting by the fire under the stars at night. We were fortunate enough to be there on a weekend when the locals had an event. We had a ball listening to the local band and kicking our heels up. We should have spent more time out hiking, etc but we enjoyed the serenity of the property and we truly can't say enough about our wonderful hosts and the beautiful setting, such a great getaway to go and decompress. We hope to visit there again...sooner than later.

Amazing Anniversary Get-Away!

We just returned from the Kramers Meadow and the Piggly Pines Cabin. We went to celebrate our 21st Anniversary and it was perfect. The meadow is in full view from the Living room and the bedroom, and the sunrise viewed from the bed was exquisite! The cabin is beautiful and very well equipped. The commercial kitchen had everything we needed to create gourmet meals. The bed and bathroom were perfect for a couple, but the cabin can sleep four more and there is a bunk house available too. We explored the Sequoia Forest including Dome Rock, Needle Rocks, Camp Nelson and Sequoia Crest. It was sad to see the fire damage from back-to-back forest fires, but the forest is starting to recover, and Kramer Meadow was untouched. We will be back soon. Kramer Meadow is our new favorite destination! Don and Kim J.

Pictures Don't Do it Justice; Owners epitomize hospitality

Just got back from a 4 day trip into the greater Sequoia National Park/Forest and stayed in Ponderosa at this fantastic getaway. It's tucked in the deep corner of Ponderosa but it's worth the winding drive to get there. Annie and John have a slice of California gold that is enviable on every level imaginable. The views from the guest house takes you into a wooded seclusion that peaceful (when the kids are sleeping) and spacious (for when the kids want to play). The wifi is spotty and limited but it was a great way to force ourselves to be "disconnected." Annie and John are fantastic hosts and were very accommodating when the plans changed from a short vacation for my wife and myself to one that included the kids. They provided 2 dozen eggs from their chickens and even spent an hour escorting us to a neighbor's home to allow the kids to feed a miniature horse. My wife was talking about making reservations for the holidays the day before we left...

Best Vacay Spot!!!

We went to get out of the fireworks! We wanted to support the local area of last year’s castle fire. What we found at Annie’s Piggly Pines was Paradise! Annie and John are beyond superb hosts! They are friendly and welcoming and had open arms to our Salukis! They pointed us in the direction of an incredible hike and answered all of our questions willingly and with a smile; both before we arrived, and while we were there. The cabin is ultra comfy and spotlessly clean! The chef’s kitchen is a dream! This paradise and it’s Meadows were saved by the heroes who fought the fire. We found absolute peace and solitude, as well as great conversation! I bent my hitch gate and John and Annie were quick to help me fix it. There was not one moment of discomfort. The hounds had a ball and were thrilled to be out of the fireworks. Us humans left refreshed and renewed. This place is truly unique and highly recommended! Be prepared to decompress! Paradise awaits you!

Simply amazing!!

First I would like to say that Ann and John were great hosts! Ann was there to greet us when we arrived and she walked us through the cabin and showed us where everything was. The cabin, its design and architecture were amazing, and the view of the meadow was fantastic. The kitchen was a chef's dream with everything you need to prepare great meals. If you are looking for a quiet serene place with beautiful views to decompress, relax, with great outdoor spaces to explore without the big crowds, then this is the place for you. It is so peaceful and secluded here and you never see or hear any neighbors. We loved exploring the meadow and venturing off on long hikes in the forest. We love visiting National parks but they have become far too crowded. Here, we would hike for hours and never see another person, it was like we had our own private national park experience. The beautiful Sequoias, and our hike to this amazing rock formation called "The Needles" reminded of us of Yosemite. The big difference is that we had it all to ourselves!! I can't thank Ann and John enough for making this such a wonderful experience for our family. We have stayed at numerous VRBO's over the years and this is our new favorite place to stay! We can't wait to go back and experience this magical place again!!

OUT OF THIS WORLD! AMAZING AND YOU WILL WANT TO STAY LONGER!!!

We wanted to disconnect form the crazy world we live on a daily basis. My wife is an MD and I'm a Business Owner/Entrepreneur, so the need to disconnect was building up for a long while. Piggly Pines plus John and Ann Bozanich are amazing and they are close as you want them or as far as you desire. We ran out of a few things but Ann was within a few seconds of saving the day. John is quick to lend a hand specially of you are from the city and forgot how to start a fire :) The property itself is super clean, hot water every day, very well arranged, furniture in great condition, kitchen is out of this world if you like to cook, the trails are relaxing and the whole area is exactly what we needed. We are going to try and come back for the winter as the photos we saw with snow are out of National Geo! If you choose this cabin, you will be happy. I know everyone has a different taste and ideas as to what they like, but keep in mind is the mountains, you are away from it all so you have to leave some of your five star expected comforts for the city life. Here is all about RELAX, RELAX, RELAX. See you soon John & Ann. We are SOLD! Thanks for your hospitality and friendship. R, N, C,

Wonderful stay

My wife and I stayed at Piggly Pines over the July 4th weekend. I must say, I couldn't have imagined it being much better. Location: The area was green and lush with many trees surrounding it. We enjoyed hiking all over and beyond the meadow. So much to explore! Everyone we ran into into locally was very friendly. At 7200 feet the air is crisp and clean. The night sky is beaming with 1,000 times more stars than you could hope to see under the bright lights of the city. Truly, a sight to behold. We even saw 4 shooting stars! Cabin: A+, kitchen is outstanding, very well equipped. Very well decorated with well thought out touches all over. Great selection of book, may I recommend "That Quail, Robert. DVD player and VHS player. Very comfortable bed. Owners: Anne & John were very kind. Anne supplied detailed instructions and maps for the ride up and was thoughtful enough to print up a list of hikes and activities in the area for the weekend. She even brought me a piece of cake on my birthday (it was yummy by the way). Thank you so much for making our time up there with you such a delight. P.S. - They have 2 dogs, Mohawk & Highway, and a cat, Simba. All 3 of them were super loving & friendly. FYI: Mohawk loves to have his belly rubbed.

About the host

Your host

My husband John and myself operated Annie's Bed and Breakfast in Springville for 17 years prior to moving up the hill to Ponderosa. We both love the quiet mountains and have moved our Custom saddle shop 'Boz Saddlery' up here. Guests are welcome to watch John 'Boz' create a beautiful custom handmade saddle and also Equestrian gear. I help John in the saddle shop also. We have riding clinics and lessons available for quests with their own horses. Come up and relax and share our beautiful piece of paradise. The picture is us in costume for our artist neighbor for one of his shows. We were creatures in the snow.

Why they chose this property

I grew up with a cabin in Camp Nelson (12 miles down from Ponderosa) and loved this area. We looked all over the north west states and found this property in our own backyard. We are 4 hours from the beach, LA and 6 hours from SF. Great spot and lots or nothing to do, you can make the choice.

What makes this property unique

We have the most beautiful redwoods 10 miles from us, fishing a couple of miles, hiking, birdwatching. If you don't have a horse of your own, there is Quaking Aspen pack station that will take you for day rides or you can pack back into the back country. Trails, trails and miles or more trails for hiking, mountain biking and in the wintertime a great place for snowmobiling, cross country skiing and snowshoeing. Our area has a lot to offer and it isn't crowded.
