EV Charging - Cozy Private Cabin 12 minutes from Kings Canyon National Park

Beautiful remote location! We decided to spend some time in the snow and this place delivered! We stayed cozy with the wood burning stove, and the internet was strong, and the kitchen was well stocked and easy to use. The hosts were very responsive to questions. My daughter loved the loft bedroom, which was the coziest room of the house. Make sure your vehicle can handle a slightly dicey road where you will need clearance and good traction.

This is a great place to stay just outside Big stump entrance of Kings canyon(15 minutes) Very private. Clean. Cozy. Quiet. Had everything we needed. Enjoyed the wildlife and view.(Even the frog living in the bathroom sink!) Nice king bed. No ac but we didn’t need it on Labor Day weekend. Hope to come back!

We had the best time spending the day playing board games, reading, spending time together and at night watching Christmas movies with hot cocoa and snuggling by the fire. The road to get there in November during the rain makes the road muddy and challenging but not impossible as long as you have a 4x4 or AWD vehicle you should be fine. We were skeptical at first since the manager was not minimizing the condition ofroad but heywe have an all wheel drive suv and this was an adventure so we went for it and we were glad we did because it is secluded away from the roads and very peaceful. There were a couple hiccups with the oven not working. Stove worked just fine so we used that instead and there is also a toaster oven. The coffee pot is small so you may want to bring your own if you like coffee. No dish towels but plenty of paper goods like paper towels, plates, napkins, etc. We had 4 adults and two kids (10 and 12) on this trip and so 2 adults slept in the downstairs room. The other two adults slept in The double bed upstairs which was a tight squeeze no matter how much you love your spouse and the kids in each twin beds . I would say if you have more than one couple then the double bed may not do well for you. There is a day bed downstairs as well with a pull out trundle. Overall this is a little gem in the woods and you can tell the owner has put a lot of hard work into restoring it. It really is rustic and off the beaten path and just what we were looking for!

The listing does say 1940’s cabin so I shouldn’t have been surprised however most of it had been replaced. Main problem is the road I.e. “trail” getting to the cabin. It’s almost less than one lane, all dirt or mud, uphill, downhill, curvy & rutted with drop offs. It was impassable the day it rained/snowed, Dicey for 2 days after. Highly recommend you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle if you rent this cabin & check the weather forecast first. 2nd problem is lack of HVAC. Can’t speak for hot weather but it was cool/cold when we were there in late April & the cabin is COLD. There are 2 wall heaters that “knock off the chill” but incapable of warming the space. The bathroom gets NO heat at all so remains cold. There is a wood burning stove that heats up the main room & loft areas well if you don’t mind building a fire & there is sufficient dry wood. The kitchen is NOT good for cooking in. No dishwasher, minimal pots/pans (had to cook 1 lb gnd. beef in 2 pots for chili) they are old & worn, one kitchen hand towel was provided so had to use copious paper towels to dry dishes after handwashing. The deck is large but crumbling. The MBR has French doors leading out to deck but no curtains. Lighting in cabin is minimal - it was difficult to read. Decor is ehh. Positives: Comfortable king size bed in master bedroom, comfortable couch/loveseat, good WIFI, privacy, close to Northern entrance to Sequoia/Kings Canyon, and hosts are responsive.
