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. Access to parks is convenient but local roads are narrow. 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.)

Cabin in the woods
A traditional, western cabin in the woods. Very quiet and secluded. Takes you back in time. Many retro and unique objects to reminisce about. A truly unique experience.

Very clean, nice little cabin for four. Two twin beds in a loft upstairs, and a queen bed downstairs in a separated bedroom. Good communication through host. Everything as advertised.

I believe that the Ponderosa Cabin will always have a place in my mind and my heart as the best country house I have ever visited. Isolated, surrounded by nature, roustique, original and vintage, gave me the feeling of visiting my grandparents house up in the mountains. Kids loved the attic and all of us enjoyed the board games that were available. The fireplace makes the whole experience even better! Moreover, the owner has been great with communication and resolved any question I had in time. The only negative thing is the network coverage in the area, depending which provider you have. However, there is efficient wifi in the cabin to stay connected ... if you wish! One more thing to add is that the location is perfect for those that plan a visit to Kings Canyon and Sequoian NP. Only 15-20 mins from the north entrance, the one closer to Kings Canyon. Last but not least the cost. I would say that for what it offers and compared to per night stays' values in the area, the price is fair enough.

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is in a great location, less than 20 minutes from the entrance to Kings Canyon. There is no AT&T reception in the area, or even in the parks, so communication was very difficult for us. People in the area use Verizon. Li Lovett, the owner, was a REAL JOY to talk to, and very attentive to our needs. The cabin is rather hard to find. After you turn onto Todd Eymann Road from Highway 245, it is the first driveway on the left. The house number is beside a stump, and it can be difficult to see. There is a washer and dryer, but the dryer is outside under a tablecloth, and we didn't find it until the night before we left., The fuse box is also outside under the electric meter. The steps to the upstairs are very steep, and are almost like a ladder. You need to bring the food you will need, although there are small markets at the park visitor centers. Also, be sure you have enough gas in your car, because the nearest gas station is over half an hour away. All in all, we loved the cabin and the area!

Great rustic cabin in the woods
My husband, adult daughter and I stayed at the cabin for three nights. Great location about 20 minutes outside Kings Canyon and 5 minutes down the road from Pinehurst Saloon. ( Burgers were good!) The cabin is rustic but in good working order, some fun and quirky deco. We would recommend a stay here.

Peaceful and Perfect ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Leading up to our trip, the host and caretaker communicated well and provided detailed directions and instructions that proved very helpful. Arriving at the cabin, surrounded by the beauty of nature, we were greeted by two of the caretakers and their adorably sweet dogs as they were finishing up clearing out some weeds and branches to make it as beautiful as possible for us. They were also picking some wild blackberries from the bushes along the driveway and shared some with us. They were so ripe and juicy and sweet!!! They quickly finished up as we were unpacking the car (with each trip back to the car, the puppers made sure to give us some love!) and cleared out to give us our privacy so we could get settled and enjoy our stay. They could not have been more kind and welcoming. Upon first opening the cabin door we were hit with the heavenly scent that every wood cabin should have. Everything was very clean, drawers with supplies were labeled, and everything was well stocked and easy to find. Though we brought our own, the bathroom had quite a few toiletries, body wash, and shampoos. There were quite a few games in the corner, which we definitely took advantage of! We appreciated the fans and window AC units because we both run hot. The wood shed was well stocked should we want to build a fire in the beautiful fireplace. The grill on the deck worked perfectly and we absolutely made good use of it for meals. Relaxing on the deck was peaceful and invigorating.

My wife and I stayed which allowed us to beat the crowds to sequoia nat park to see morrow rock and giant trees . Then day 2 we beat the crowd to kings canyon. The home had all that we needed. The ac kept the place cool even in 90 plus weather. Yes the dirt road is bumpy…so take it slow..the place is worth it.

Great cabin near KCNP/Sequoia
Had a great time visiting the parks and using this as our home base. Grilled for dinners and enjoyed the porch. The listing is accurate - window unit AC in the main bedroom but it cooled down enough to sleep upstairs with fans. Li was really helpful and helped prepare for our stay. Enjoyed our time here

Ponderosa Cabin
It was wonderful! The cabin was cozy and had all the amenities needed (except a pool!!! LOL!) The host, Li, was great, the most attentive host that I have encountered and I have experience with VRBO. The property manager, Tali, was fantastic as well, always available and very helpful. I would strongly recommend this property particularly if you are visiting KC and Sequoia NPs. This was the best experience with VRBO that I have had.

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.

A quirky, but AWESOME cabin!! WE LOVED EVERYTHING! We were worried about dust because my daughter has had a lot of asthma issues & even traveled with a nebulizer. SHE HAD NO ISSUES BECAUSE THE CABIN WAS SO CLEAN, AND SHE EVEN SLEPT IN THE ADORABLE LOFT! The cabin is very safe behind a locked gate. The owner & caretaker were absolutely THE BEST! Excellent communication before and during our trip! They even mailed our lost stuffed animal to us!! We wish we would have skipped Yosemite and just lounged at this perfect cabin! You should stay here!!

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.

The cutest cabin!
Give yourself time to get there and arrive at daylight. The roads are narrow getting to the cabin and about half mile or less before reaching your final destination it’s completely a dirt road so assure you have a 4x4. Now let’s talk cabin ❤️ The cutest, cozy, great lighting cabin I’ve seen in a while. I think I turned in every single lamp and light switch to appreciate it fully. I immediately turned on the fireplace because even though my visit was in mid June it got chill at night. We slept well. We made coffee in the morning. Other guest left very useful things like tea, sugar, and other condiments if you need them. I recommend stopping for food or snacks depending on the length of your stay. One of the things that really stood out aside from the beautiful cabin was the communication with the host. We arrived at night and I had a little trouble unlocking the gate and immediately upon me reaching out via text I received a response and a follow up to make sure we were ok. Thank you for sharing your lovely place with us! We will recommend it to all our friends.

Rustic Quiet close to the Park
This kitchsy cabin is a very rustic but comfortable retreat down a dirt road. It feels pretty isolated although there is a neighbor above the property. It's not a place for the high maintenance traveler. But if you enjoy being surrounded by trees and birds and quiet and are looking for a place with easy access to the Park, this does the trick. I can imagine winters would be a bit more challenging but the fireplace works really well to heat the main part of the house and there are space heaters, although running two at a time might make the circuit blow. Bring all your food with you! Li was kind and easy to communicate with.
