Farm House Apartment at Mt. Dennison in the Sequoia Forest!

Summary:
Incredible views as far as you can see from this farm apartment in the Sequoias near Balch Park. Great getaway for adventurers, wedding-goers, or an unforgettable couples retreat!

The Space:
Amazing apartment that was once part of a 100 year old farmhouse located high in the Sequoia National Forest just below Balch Park. The apartment has all the historic mountain farmhouse charm, including an original wood stove that is used as a fireplace. You'll love sipping your coffee on the balcony overlooking the mountain ranch below, birdwatching, or stargazing at night. Whether you're looking for peaceful relaxation or daring adventures, Mt. Dennison has it all. Nearby Balch Park is famous for fishing, hiking, and rock climbing. The apartment can be reserved separately or along with the farmhouse, and is the perfect home base for couples traveling to Balch Park, wedding guests at any of the nearby venues including The White Barn in Springville, or a couples retreat to the Giant Sequoias.

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire mountain home, wifi, washer and dryer, yard games, one driveway parking space plus street parking, and plenty of grassy area to play, tent camp (must be approved), or hang out under the stars.

The Neighborhood:
Up at the top of Balch Park road, you'll find this beautiful mountain farmhouse.  There's an apartment on the property that is also a vacation rental, and the property owners live on the ranch, so while you're up in the Sequoias, there is a feeling of safety and security, with other people nearby. Enjoy minimal light pollution allowing for optimum stargazing! Bring your telescope and set up camp under the stars! Views of the mountains and forest from every window, you're likely to see many birds, and even deer and other wildlife along the beautiful drive up. The nearest "town" with restaurants, gas stations, and convenience stores is Springville, and the nearest large town with grocery stores and entertainment is Porterville. Located just a few miles above downtown Springville, the gorgeous surroundings make for amazing wedding backdrops, and there are many wedding venues around, most notably The White Barn at Springville Ranch. Minimal light pollution in the area allows for gorgeous stargazing at night. Bring your telescope and set up camp under the stars, or simply enjoy the view from the hot tub. Views of the mountains and forest from every window, you're likely to see wild turkey and deer, among other mountain critters.

Getting Around:
We suggest using your own vehicle to get around. Please keep in mind that if you are traveling to higher elevations in the winter, you may need chains/4WD.

Other Things to Note:
This is a mountain residence, so there may be some undesirable creatures such as rattle snakes, skunks, raccoons, spiders, and other insects.  We do our best to keep these away, but they do make an appearance from time to time. Our farm dogs do a great job at keeping the bears and mountain lions away from the property.

There is another vacation rental on the property. You'll share a driveway and a breezeway to the backyard. There are no shared walls. You are welcome to rent both properties, please let us know if you're interested in this!

NO TVS on the property!
