This was a great property for our visit to Sequoia National Park. The property was very clean and well appointed. It was even better than the photos. I enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch in the morning for breakfast, listening to the nearby river. It was just a couple miles from several restaurants, groceries, and gas. The check-in process was very easy. We had a bear visit us (outside the fence) on our last morning. Although the house is indeed 15 minutes from the entrance to Sequoia National Park, most of the hiking trails are an hour away on a very steep, curvy road. But this is the case for all properties near the park. Overall we were very happy with the property, the location, and our stay.
