We really enjoyed our stay at Kristi's place, it's great for anyone that wants to stay in the park but not go camping. It's in a quiet private community in the woods near Grant Grove. The surrounds are just beautiful, with deer running around at night. The room is well decorated and thoughtfully equipped, with a small fridge, microwave, and water cooler. It also had a nice range of guidebooks on the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. The shared bathroom was not an problem as Kristi was happy for us to use it as needed. I was worried I would have trouble with my cat allergy, but Kristi keeps the room very clean so I did not have any issues. Only downside was the patchy internet connection, but Kristi was upfront about that so we knew what to expect.

Kristi's place was clean and comfortable. She made our first airbnb experience a success! We felt right at home!

Kristi's place was perfect! It's clean, private, and cozy - plus, location is perfect for visiting anywhere in kings or sequoia. Kristi was also a great host with a lot of helpful tips and suggestions! Definitely worth it and wish I could have stayed longer.

I 100% recommend this. Our first shared living arrangement on airbnb, but it was absolutely great! Definitely beats driving in and out of the park everyday!

Kristi is awfully nice, and suggested places to visit in the local area. Not only that but her place is amazingly cozy, and welcoming. She gave us the bathroom to shower, and worked around our schedule. There was no direct wifi connection- however, she offered her hotspot. The hotspot was turned off at 10pm (respectively). SO make sure to browse the web as soon as you can, jot down notes before its off. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

Beautiful location stay in Kings Canyon. Perfect location to start your journey in to the national parks and very close to everything.

Staying at Kristi's place make it easy to explore both Kings

Awesome spot with easy access to both Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. Kristi is a great host and more than willing to answer any questions you may have. The room is cozy and perfect for resting up before hitting the parks. It was easy to get access and Kristi provided great directions. Checking in was a breeze and Kristi was very accommodating. We recommend this spot to anyone visiting the national parks!

absolutely brilliant accommodation! We were there for our honeymoon but being there we imagined we very well with our 2 young children or friends (if one of the couples willing to sleep on the couch). This is the kind of places where you feel immediately at home. The decor is beautiful, arty and original and makes the place very "cozy". All equipment (oven, sauna, fireplace, washer / dryer ...) is super easy to use and start. Everything works perfectly not need to bother constantly hosts. My last comment is for them, they were remarkably kind (up to lend us their car because it was snowing and we had no chains.) Mahalia and her husband are very warm people. I really recommend this place does not seem expensive compared to the luxury of our stay, I will return with my children on a return trip to the states for sure!

This is the place to stay if you are visiting the national parks nearby. Super close and accessible with great views from the cabin itself. The cabin is well stocked with amenities and we cooked breakfast and dinner every night. Cannot stress convenience enough. Additionally, the cabin is incredibly cozy and is a great place to unwind after a long day of hiking.

Our second visit! We love this place.

This is the perfect secluded retreat for retiring to after a long day hiking in the Sequioa and Kings Canyon National Parks. My husband and I were so happy with not only how cozy it was, but how clean the entire home was AND how accommodating the amenities were. We would be back without a second thought!

It was an exceptional stay, we really enjoyed our time at this place and we'll definitely return some time in future

A true piece of jewelry! Charming & cozy atmosphere, quiet & peaceful. Perfect base camp for visiting Sequoia & Kings Canyon. Mahalia is a great host, always addressable, with great tips for hikes / view points.

Fivespot cabin is a great place to stay. It is a great distance from the cabin to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. It's very peaceful, and comfortable. We actually liked that there was no t.v. in the house. It's so easy to just sit down and turn one on at the end of the day, but without one you're able to just sit and enjoy where you are. Mahalia was a great host. Very good at communicating prior to arrival. I would recommend the cabin to anyone.

We couldn't have imagined a more idyllic stay than we had at the Fivespot Cabin. Amazing location, incredibly close to the Kings Canyon entrance, in a beautiful area. All amenities you could imagine were available and we were never in need of anything. We can't wait to come back again soon! Thanks Mahalia!

By far the best experience EVER, wonderful cabin just like the movies and deserves the name "Heavenly Retreat" Getting to the address would be little bit hard if u drive 12am like we did but still deserves the ride and do trust ur GPS because it will get u to the right address (even though at one time u think ur going wrong direction) The cabin is really wonderful and relaxing, Micheal left all the necessary things and especially the waffle ingredients :) We couldn't spot a squirrel though but sitting on the balcony doing nothing will feel like dreaming Thanks Micheal for the host and hope to meet some day :)

We had an amazing stay at Michael's Peaceful Heavenly Retreat! He provided excellent directions to locate the cabin as well as instructions for entry and use of the cabin. When planning our trip to the Sequoia National Forest and Kings Canyon, we had originally planned to try to stay in Three Rivers. We were unable to find an affordable location to meet our needs or that had availability and stumbled upon this listing further north instead....and we are SO glad we did. The proximity of the cabin to the Kings Canyon park entrance was amazing and helped us maximize or weekend trip. The views from the cabin were beautiful and we really felt like we were truly on a retreat. You literally cannot see another soul insight unless a car passes on the road below (which doesn't happen often). The cabin was very clean, stocked with what we needed and felt like a cozy home. We have no complaints about our stay here and would love to do it again if we can!

Home as beautiful as described. Pantry plentiful. Great waffle maker and coffee. Excellent and plenty of linens, towels in all rooms. Convenient washer/dryer with detergent available. Plenty of Disney DVDs. ~ 15-20 min from entrance to park. Wish we had: Cell phone signal (911 available) or land line, internet Nice to have: Other non-Disney movies (adventure, Sci-Fi, thrillers, etc) Michael- Thank you for lending us your home!

Very lovely place.

We have enjoyed spending a weekend at Michael's cozy cabin. The house has everything you need for a family\friends retreat. Michael was a great host and provided us with detailed instructions. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to spend peaceful weekend in the beautiful place and enjoy nearby Sequoia and Kings Canyon NPs.

Very clean house, the cleaning fee goes to good use! The house is very comfortable and the view is great. It's a fairly close drive to either King's Canyon or Sequoia. Michael is a great host and was willing to answer any question or concern we had. I would book again!

Michael is a great host! He gave us many useful tips before our trip. The place is cozy and somewhat close to northern Sequoia entrance. There is no WiFi or Internet which was the only misleading part of our stay because we saw WiFi login info on our reservation. Make sure to read all the instructions before approaching Miramonte as there is no reception for non-Verizon customers. Heads up for people with allergies: there are a lot of conventional personal care and cleaning products throughout the house.

Great cozy house. It is so close to the park.

Very cute and clean cabin near Kings Canyon NP. We had a great time, thank you!

Our stay in the cabin was great. The cabin is located near to Kings Canyon. So we didn' t need to drive very long time to see the magnificent Sequoia' s. We even did a 4-hour hike in the neighbourhood. It was really awesome. Buchran is a very nice person. He helped us with our problems and pointed some hikes out on a map. The cabin was very good equiped and very nice decorated. It is a very nice spot to relax. We hope to come back.

The Merrynook cabin is absolutely wonderful and convenient for a Kings Canyon/Sequoia NP visit. Mahalia was not present during my stay (it was just my girlfriend and I) but she left us everything we needed on the kitchen table, which was great. The cabin itself is very clean and well-kept. It isn't a large place by any means but even with 7 people, I don't think there would be an issues regarding space (except for the fact that there's only one bathroom). There is a clean and fully stocked kitchen, which I wish I had made more use of! The bathroom had everything we needed: extra towels, a bathtub with bath salts available, a very clean and modern shower, plenty of lighting, and a clean toilet. The only downside is that the water takes a little bit of time to heat up. The cabin itself is very well ventilated; it was around 35-40 degrees at night and in the morning but I was walking around comfortably in shorts and a t-shirt. The best part, in my opinion, was the super comfortable bed I slept on. Nothing beats a long day exploring and then sleeping comfortably in a great bed. All in all, I highly recommend this cabin! I was able to knock out both NP's in a weekend because of the convenient location. I will definitely be coming back here with my family next year.

The house was very welcoming neat and tidy. The owner was very friendly accommodating. All in all a perfect holiday getaway.

Mahalia was very helpful all the way through, the house and garden were gorgeous and very comfortable and felt like home away from home. Loved 'Puffnip' the cat too!!

a very cute cottage with a fantastic kitchen just outside King Canyon NP. we enjoyed our stay very much. driving to Grant Grove just takes 20 min. and to General Sherman it's about an hour. this place was also great for our toddler son who made friends with the cat.

We loved staying at this funky cabin while we were in the area for a wedding. It was cozy and homey. As a parent of a toddler, I was happy that the cabin is fairy easy to baby-proof (or if not baby-proof, at least be "baby-resistant.") Mahalia, the host, was easily reachable via the messaging feature in the Airbnb app, even though she was on a distant vacation. (I should note, there were no issues, I simply had a question prior to check in, and a message post-check out.).

We had a great stay in this cabin. It is comfortable, clean, and quiet. The kitchen is fully equipped, we ate a week of dinners there. I highly suggest bringing in groceries, the nearest full sized grocery store is over an hour away. We will definitely rent this cabin if we come through this way again.
