Ponderosa Cabin ~ rustic comfort + WiFi by Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks

The Ponderosa Cabin offers a rustic setting with vintage charm, along with modern amenities. After spending the day at nearby Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, enjoy cocktails on the spacious deck, a hot shower in the clawfoot tub, games by the fireplace (knockoff game of Twister anyone?). Or just read and relax in the main bedroom downstairs or upstairs bedroom. The Ponderosa Cabin has gorgeous interior walls of knotty pine. And yes, there's Internet--when you need it. You’ll find a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of room in the cabin for up to 4 guests.

Our cabin, fondly named after the beautiful Ponderosa pine tree with golden bark, is nestled in a quiet setting. You may see wild turkeys up the hill in the morning or deer grazing at dusk at certain times of the year. At higher elevation in the National Parks you’ll find Ponderosa pines growing alongside giant Sequoias. It's a 20 minute drive to the entrance of Kings Canyon (Big Stump entrance) along Hwy 180. This is the best of all worlds: you have a gateway to the National Parks and a private setting in the woods. If you like the mountains, this is your retreat.

If there is snow at higher elevations in the winter or early spring, tire chains could be required in the National Parks and on Hwy 180. Kings Canyon National Park is at 6000+ ft. elevation; it may be clear at the cabin but you could encounter snow as you head up into higher elevations.

Please remember this is not a hotel. Stairs to the upstairs bedroom are narrow and steep. Access to parks is convenient but local roads are winding. Note there's an unpaved road for a quarter mile leading to the cabin. There are no grocery stores or banks near the cabin, although there's a restaurant in walking distance. (Grant Grove Village in Kings Canyon NP is 30 minutes away by car, and there are gas stations, convenience stores and restaurants along Hwy 180.)

Very nice cabin close to Sequoia National Park

Read the description of the cabin. It accurately describes the cabin. We rented it to mainly visit Sequoia NP. We did cook out one night on the patio. Very pleasant environment. It was easy to find everything one needed. Plenty of towels, sheets, etc. There is a restaurant 5 minutes away that offered food, drink and free pool. For the money spent, we felt it was a good value and would happily stay here again.

Quiet and relaxing rustic cabin in the woods

Li's cabin is just a short (and beautiful) drive away from Sequoia/Kings Canyon NP. Everything is comfortable -- nice deck for breakfasts and dinner, great fireplace, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen. Li is a gracious host, and gave us all the directions and help we needed. A+

Rustic

Great communication and lots of good info/warnings,esp about the dirt road leading to the cabin. Good wifi. Located fairly near entrance to King's Canyon. Nice deck, esp on a sunny day, surrounded by trees and birdsong. Appreciated being able to charge our electric car.All the furnishings & linens were quite vintage. Main problem was that the cabin, bathroom floor, and (very old) kitchenware were not clean.

Rustic Excellence!

Just what we needed! Silent, cozy, rustic hideaway, just 20 min's from Kings Canyon/Sequoia. Took gorgeous hikes each day, warmed up by the fire at night. Kitchen had everything we needed, and Li and Tali were always available, friendly, and generous with information and helpful tips. Thank you :)

We really enjoyed this property. It is much like a camp which was comfortable and kitschy. If you are high maintenance, not the place for you but 99% of folks will love it. The outside deck is wonderful. Added 10 new birds to my life list. The most outstanding aspect of this property is the proximity to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. I am a Park Geek, so this was perfect. In addition, the host is one of the best we have worked with. Communication was excellent and instructions were complete and understandable. Cabin is well stocked, which isn't always the case. I would highly recommend this property.

Exceeded all expectations

Exactly how it was described. Perfectly isolated. Water was hot, all appliances worked well, stocked with board games. Verizon phone service worked. Li and Tali both easily reachable and both very helpful whenever we needed anything, even if just advice about the park. Strongly recommend the Pinehurst Lodge after a long day at the park. Great food and a fun, chill atmosphere. We would have eaten there everyday had we stayed longer.

Cabin in a Forest

I stayed at the cabin with my family for 4 nights, and it was very relaxing and peaceful. It had all the listed amenities in good condition. Li (Property Owner) and Tali (Property Manager) were readily available and kept in touch before and throughout the stay. The cabin is just about 20-minute drive away from the closest Sequoia National Park entrance (Big Stump) and its nearby trails. While the location offers a quick access to the national park, the cabin itself is surrounded by a forest past its own entrance gate. We enjoyed watching all kinds of birds--a deer too--and listening to them as well as a nearby stream. Beautiful views from inside and the patio add much to the serenity there. It's a perfect place to read, reflect, appreciate nature, and be with loved ones.

Great stay at the cabin

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Remote location, beautiful night skies and well stocked kitchen.Some things to note, every lamp in the property has a different way to turn on. Many lamps were unplugged so we had to figure it out. I am glad we were with friends coz the house is 1/4 of a mile from the main road. We ended up locking the gate to the property while we were there too. The drive to the property is a winding downhill with many hairpin and steep curves (about 4.5 miles).Very quiet area, within nature and within peaceful surroundings.

We had a bit of trouble as we entered the property and had to unlock a large chain to drive down the path to the house. So after multiple tries and then waiting to hear back from the host or property manager who was nearby we were able to get in. The problem was that the key code had gotten changed, but the materials sent to us by the host was the old code. The good news was we got in!

cabin in the hills

Rustic older cabin in the hills and mountain area around Kings Canyon. All the right tools for the 3 nights we stayed. Wifi was necessary and appreciated as there is no connectivity for our cell phones. Extra towels, blankets, food, dishes, all made it great. Cabin was initially stuffy from being locked up, but we opened the windows and the back door for a few hours and it cleared up. My girls who stayed up in the loft kept the window open as it is extra warm and less air up there. Mornings were chilly and we used the extra blankets. The chirping birds and little lizards made the deck super fun. We had a blast. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Great little getaway only 15 or 20 minutes away from big stump entrance. Cabin is nestled away in a nice quiet area. Lots of Wildlife nearby. We even saw a wild Tom Turkey strutting his stuff on the hillside. The cabin had easy access to big stump entrance.
