communication with Laurabelle was great, the check in was easy. the locations is perfect and the house is welcoming. we had a wonderful and memrable stay.
Location is great, just inside the gate of Sequoia. House reminds me of a late 60’s ski lodge. Kids liked the sliding pole - that is truly unique. The house does need some “loving.” Some basic maintenance/tidy-up inside and outside of the home would be nice. Being quite hot when we were there, the a/c ran continuously. Fans in home were helpful.
We had a great stay at this property. It was quiet, clean, and spacious. Kitchen was well-appointed and we had everything we needed. Would definitely book again.
Property was perfectly located and large enough to handle my family of 6. The views were beautiful and the large patio accommodated good stargazing. Highly recommended!
House worked well for our 7 adults. The upstairs gets warm but would cool off after we got home from our day exploring the park. House had all the amenities we needed including in the kitchen. The only drawback is you're up with the sun but a decent payoff for the views from the full length windows.
2nd time staying. Just as great as the first time.

The owner was very helpful and responsive. The house is inside the park but is an hour from any of the sites - this was something I should have known but was disappointed to realize after arrival - be sure to consider. Loved having lots of space and a washer/dryer! The house was clean but definitely needs updating - lots of things just seemed repaired on the fly without much thought or time. (ex - I don't think it is comforting to find mouse trap boxes in the bedrooms)

We couldn’t use the clothes dryer because it screeched so loud it was unbearable. The yard was also a mess with grass clippings everywhere, and that everything was great and the location is terrific.
But I really didn’t like that the beds are super hard. The pillows are super bulky and a lot of light comes from the big windows so for me it was very hard to fall asleep and to stay asleep. But overall, it was a good stay .

Review
The house had everything we needed for our visit to Sequoia National Park. The area was nice, quiet and private. There was enough sleeping space for our group but the beds are very uncomfortable. The house definitely needs some work and updating. There was stickers on the sliding glass door, smiley face stickers on all the cabinets, part of the cabinet was broken off, sink in the bar area did not work and the upstairs of the house is unbelievably hot with no way to adjust the thermostat. Also, one of the latches on the sliding glass doors didn’t work. The house is beautifully built and has so much potential. It was nice to be within the gates of the park.
A beautifully designed rustic lodge with vaulted rooflines and ceilings. The house is located inside the park and offers great views. The layout is quite open, though unfortunately, the master bath is located behind the kitchen, away from the bedrooms. The cabinets and fixtures throughout the house could use an update, but the kitchen appliances are fairly new. Many of the lights in the kitchen and living room were out, making the ambiance of the house quite dim.
Perfect spot in the park, air doesn’t work great so come when cooler but amazing place

We loved the size of the property and close to the entry. The home did not have any bed larger than a full. This was the only issue bit we made due and enjoyed the home!
I stayed with my family and friends and it was a blast. The house is inside the park and great views.
The house is pretty open in terms of layout. So great for spending time with family.
The house was spotless, well stocked, had a brand new BBQ and very comfortable. Location was awesome with beautiful views

Very spacious with plenty of rooms for our 4. Recommend trying to arrive during daylight hours as the drive is very steep and a little tricky to see in the dark.
We just finished a really peaceful, relaxing week at Sequoia National Park. The house was a good base located just inside the park. The weather being unseasonably hot made the house a little warm in the afternoon thanks to the huge windows, but it was much more comfortable after the sun went down. It’s not a luxury property, but if you want a convenient location with lots of character, this is a great place.
