Ponderosa Cabin ~ rustic comfort + WiFi by Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks
10/10 Excellent
"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."
"Honestly- don’t go here. It could be such a beautiful place and maybe was at some point, but now it’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. The surrounding properties are beautiful and outside is peaceful. The cabin, itself, is infested by mice. From what I could tell, the mice own it now.
It is by the grace of God that my 6 yr old and I ended up okay, after everything.
This place is in the mountains. Secluded. No cell service. The key was not where it was supposed to be. There were NO instructions inside, including no information about the WiFi. Thankfully a previous guest had written the password down in the guest book.
NO CENTRAL HEAT OR AIR. This was not explained in the listing. It was 40 degrees outside. We used the wood burning stove to keep warm. When we went outside to get more firewood, the door auto-locked behind us. We did not know it did that. Car keys inside the house and everything. Thankfully, with the help of someone else, I got ahold of the owner and she came and let us in.
But then, the mice! Droppings everywhere. Heard them scurrying around the ceiling at night. Saw one run across the floor. Disgusting. We couldn’t sleep.
I’m not trying to be rude. I’m all for roughing it, but everyone should fully understand what they’re getting into. It wasn’t safe with the lack of information and it was unsanitary with the mice. This listing should honestly be removed from hotels.com.
Oh and there was a frog on the coffee pot. "
"Perfect place, perfect host! She stayed on the phone with me and helped guide me all the way to the driveway. House had everything needed for a cozy stay. Loved the proximity to King’s Cabin."
