About this house rental
Escape to the ideal getaway! Discover serenity in this remodeled cottage at Starview Ranch, enveloped by manzanitas and cradled beneath a majestic pine. Embrace relaxation with the fragrance of lavenders in the verdant French garden, observe birds in the yard, or unwind with a book by the fireplace. This is also a perfect spot to venture out and explore the wonders of Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. The allure of the Starview Ranch cottage will leave you yearning for an extended stay.
This hand-built cottage is 1400 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The original quartz fireplace dates back to when the house was a hunting cabin before WWII and the renovated pine wood flooring is hand milled. There is an additional mattress in one bedroom so up to 6 people can stay comfortably. It has 2 screened porches, 1 off the bedroom and 1 is in the back with a table seating 4. The dining room table seats 6 and there is an additional outside table for 4 in the French garden as well as a large gas grill.
Please note this property is 45 minutes from a grocery store so advanced meal planning is advised.
The fireplace should not be used during summer months when the fire risk is high. The gas BBQ grill in the garden can be used year-round.
Other things to note:
I would like to remind guests that this property is out in the beautiful wilderness. Along with that comes both large and small animals that live here, whether we like them or not. You are in the great outdoors and may encounter bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions, bats, insects, and other critters. If doors or windows (without screens) are left open these critters and many bugs tend to find their way in. We recommend only opening up the screened windows and ensuring doors are not left open. Also, no matter how rigorously the cottage is cleaned (and I take cleaning very seriously) there may be some dead bugs or a small cobweb that was created in the short time from cleaning to your check in... this is just a fact of life and part of the charm of staying at a ranch cottage in the middle of nowhere.
Starview Ranch is located in a remote area in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The drive to the property from either Kings Canyon Drive or from the 245 involve curvy mountain roads with switchbacks and sharp turns which can also be narrow in some places. Also, the drive to Kings Canyon National Park is a windy mountain road.
The television is connected to an Amazon Fire Cube. You can access Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu. Feel free to use your own login for other TV apps. Cable TV stations are not included.
There is a Bluetooth speaker in the kitchen for listening to music.
One last piece of advice:
Pack and wear clothes that you don't mind getting a little dusty/ dirty. Again, part of the charm.

The cutest rental property we have ever stayed in. The kitchen was well stocked, the grill worked great and the bed was very comfortable. The sound of the owls at night was an added bonus. We will definitely stay here again. Dean was great with communication! 5 stars.

The cottage is a super homey and lovely retreat. The kitchen is well stocked, we loved the side porch off of the bedroom and the back patio where we could be outside and enjoy the garden. Would definitely stay here again!

House was exactly as described. It was a great place to come back to and relax after a long day in the park.

This property is very conducive to relaxation! We love the fountains in the garden that attract different wild birds. You can watch the wildlife from the dining area or a screened in dining area off to the side of that, which is lovely in the cool morning hours. There are tons of windows in the main areas of the cottage, so you always have a great view of the flora & fauna outside. And there's plenty of areas outside to lounge or enjoy a little repast. Inside, there are a couple of window ac units, & ceiling fans in every room to tame the afternoon heat. There is a drip coffee maker & supplied filters, & also a French press (which we had no idea how to use). The cottage is dog friendly (hooray!), but please note that the property is fenced on three sides only. It didn't impact us, but it may matter to others. If your fido isn't crazy about steps, he'll be in luck here as there are only one or two to deal with. The road to the Big Stump entrance of the Sequoia/Kings Cyn Nat'l Park is about as twisted as they come, but it's a pretty drive & gets you to the park in about 20-30 mins. (Beware of the adorable quail families crossing the road.) All in all, a charming dog-friendly cottage in a beautiful setting, and a nice alternative to staying in the Nat'l Park.
