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. 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.)

Quiet getaway near Sequoia and Kings Canyon

Great little getaway only 15 or 20 minutes away from big stump entrance. Cabin is nestled away in a nice quiet area. Lots of Wildlife nearby. We even saw a wild Tom Turkey strutting his stuff on the hillside. The cabin had easy access to big stump entrance.

We had a bit of trouble as we entered the property and had to unlock a large chain to drive down the path to the house. So after multiple tries and then waiting to hear back from the host or property manager who was nearby we were able to get in. The problem was that the key code had gotten changed, but the materials sent to us by the host was the old code. The good news was we got in!

We really enjoyed this property. It is much like a camp which was comfortable and kitschy. If you are high maintenance, not the place for you but 99% of folks will love it. The outside deck is wonderful. Added 10 new birds to my life list. The most outstanding aspect of this property is the proximity to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. I am a Park Geek, so this was perfect. In addition, the host is one of the best we have worked with. Communication was excellent and instructions were complete and understandable. Cabin is well stocked, which isn't always the case. I would highly recommend this property.

cabin in the hills

Rustic older cabin in the hills and mountain area around Kings Canyon. All the right tools for the 3 nights we stayed. Wifi was necessary and appreciated as there is no connectivity for our cell phones. Extra towels, blankets, food, dishes, all made it great. Cabin was initially stuffy from being locked up, but we opened the windows and the back door for a few hours and it cleared up. My girls who stayed up in the loft kept the window open as it is extra warm and less air up there. Mornings were chilly and we used the extra blankets. The chirping birds and little lizards made the deck super fun. We had a blast. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Rustic Excellence!

Just what we needed! Silent, cozy, rustic hideaway, just 20 min's from Kings Canyon/Sequoia. Took gorgeous hikes each day, warmed up by the fire at night. Kitchen had everything we needed, and Li and Tali were always available, friendly, and generous with information and helpful tips. Thank you :)

Quiet and relaxing rustic cabin in the woods

Li's cabin is just a short (and beautiful) drive away from Sequoia/Kings Canyon NP. Everything is comfortable -- nice deck for breakfasts and dinner, great fireplace, comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen. Li is a gracious host, and gave us all the directions and help we needed. A+

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.

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.

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
