About this cabin rental
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.)

So perfect if your vibe is getting away to a secluded cozy weekend!! a drive away from the parks and beautiful hikes, the cabinet itself is so woody and cozy, surrounded by woods and nature, we enjoyed cooking, lighting the fire and enjoying the peace and quiet. Li was so kind and make sure we have everything we needed. Would love to come again!!

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.

Super cute cabin, loved the furniture and decor. We definitely enjoyed the fireplace. Ladder/stairs to the loft bedroom were steep, so older or accident prone people (like me) just be aware. We saw deer and a flock of turkeys both mornings as we left. Super convenient to Kings/Sequoia. Pay attention to the directions provided! The driveway is very close to the turn from the highway, we missed it at first because the house numbers aren’t in a regular order.

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.
