Serene Quiet
The area is in the rural foot hills of the Sierra. Lots of winding roads and open spaces. The house is isolated from traffic sounds and other people. It's the quietest place I've ever stayed. At the same time there is an all day chorus of various birds that come to eat from the bird feeders in the meadow in front of the house. And, for a little extra entertainment there are some feral cats that live in the garage and patrol the property looking for prey. The house itself is roomy and well laid out with a large work area in the kitchen. All three of us could cook at the same time without getting in each others way. (This is unusual.) Many large windows through out the house. The arrangement of the furniture in the living room works great for watching movies. We all felt the house was our favorite among all the houses we stayed in. The main drawback is the "commute time" to either Kings Canyon park or Sequoia. We hike or snowshoe, so we want to spend most of our time outdoors in our chosen activities, not driving long distances. Part of one of the easier routes to Kings Canyon was closed so we had to use a very narrow, very winding road to get to the main route into Kings Canyon. It took over an hour each way in good weather. The day we went to Sequoia was after it snowed higher up with a chain control and because the traffic was so bad we finally turned around to go to another place to hike. We were there over New Years, so the holiday probably brought out more people.

Charming hideaway
Hummingbird House is just lovely! Nestled in the Sierras, on a large piece of property that is delightful on its own, it was the perfect location for easy entry into King’s Canyon NP and from there down into Sequoia NP. We were able to see highlights of both in one loop from the house, returning through Three Rivers on Kaweah Lake. The house is spacious, with comfortable beds, washer/dryer, and even snacks in the kitchen! There were fresh eggs from a neighbor in the fridge as well as juice and milk. Joni was easy to reach and very helpful. She has a book full of recommendations about the area and pictures of all the nearby wildlife that her cameras have caught. Highly recommend!

Hummingbird House Stay
My family and myself came up to go to Sequoia and Kings Canyon for a week, and stayed at the Hummingbird House.
The house owner was very very readily available and quick to respond with things. They house also was stocked with breakfast items for our stay which was very nice.
We enjoyed our stay here very much and was very impressed with the home.
