Mahalia generously accepted my reservation request on somewhat short notice. She reached out over email immediately and shared all the information we needed to arrive safely at her cabin and get settled in. Mahalia was very responsive to emails and communicating with her was a dream. As for our stay -- I cannot rate this experience highly enough! Fivespot cabin is ideally situated for a retreat to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. The cabin was exquisite and tastefully furnished with so much love and care put into it. The claw foot tub and sauna were positively dreamy. The well-stocked kitchen was a delight to cook in. the property itself is gorgeous and has incredible views. Mahalia was so warm and generous upon our arrival -- she even went so far as to leave us a basket of fresh english muffins, oranges, and bananas for us to find inside. Such a homey touch! I have already personally recommended this cabin to several friends and colleagues, and would not hesitate to recommend it again. The overall experience was sublime. Thank you, Mahalia!

This was the PERFECT place for our family getaway to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. As noted, it is fairly remote, which is what we were expected and looking for. The place was comfortable, with well stocked kitchen and furnishings, firewood, and a great sauna. The back porch and yard area was a great place to relax as well. We spent 3 days going back and forth to the parks, which worked out nicely as well. We would definitely recommend Mahalia's place to anyone interested in visiting the Kings Canyon area.

Just as perfect as last time.

The cabin is absolutely lovely and so idyllic! Mahalia is a wonderful host and has put a lot of love into it. It was what we expected from the pictures and description, and more! We had such an incredible stay and could've happily stayed another week. My chef-husband was over the moon with the kitchen - it was fully kitted out and functional, ideal for making your own romantic dinners. It was also one of the cleanest and quaintest places we've stayed in. The cabin's located a close drive to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. Definitely a winner when it comes to a quintessential retreat. Couldn't recommend it highly enough! Thank you Mahalia!

What a beautiful place to stay! It is well worth braving the twisty turny roads to this stunning retreat. We couldn't have felt more welcome! There were fresh flowers in every room and various necessities left to supplement the provisions we brought with us. Whether enjoying a glass of wine while watching the hummingbirds on the feeders outside or toasting marshmallows on the open fire we couldn't believe how wonderful the place was. A short (though twisty) drive took us to Kings Canyon National Park and the giant sequoias. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer.

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.

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.

We stayed there while visiting Sequoia National Park with a group of 7 friends. It's about an hour driving from the park (but Kings Canyon is closer than that). The place was absolutely fantastic, felt very remote and had everything you could need. As Michael will surely emphasize, there's a waffle maker there, and a grill to make a BBQ well deserved after hiking and seeing big trees and bears :) Everything was easy, including communication, check in and directions.

Michael’s cabin was perfect for a peaceful getaway! My family and I fell in love with the place upon arrival! My mother is a clean freak and she was so impressed with everything (her first Airbnb experience!) and that says a lot coming from her! :) Michael made us feel very welcome and he was very helpful, providing many suggestions for our daily excursions. When time allows, we will absolutely come back to visit! I highly recommend the cabin to others!

Michael made us feel very welcome, and the place is spotless.This cozy retreat is even better in real life. We would absolutely come back to visit again. Only Verizon work in those region(Kings Canyon, Sequoia Michael's Cabin and surrounding area) If you are using (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map make sure you download the local map so that you can use it without data connection.

This is a lovely cabin with a lot of supplies. The host also provided waffle mix and machine for guests. They have washer/dryer inside the house which is a big plus. Michael is very responsive. He always messaged me within minutes when I had problems. He also provided a very detail route guide to the house. It's a very quiet and nice place. We also enjoyed the sunsets on the porch. We had great time during our stay.

This was the perfect place to stay for a visit to King's Canyon & Sequoia National Parks. Everything was as described and the house very comfortably fit 6 people.

We were lucky enough to stay at Michael's cabin last weekend. It fit my husband, myself, and our three kids perfectly. Michael was a gracious host, explaining how things worked and starting a fire for us in the wood burning stove. Everything was spotless, and the kitchen was well stocked. The kids were excited to find lots of family friendly movies and some interesting books as well! And the location was fantastic-- the cabin is just minutes (literally) to the entrance of Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks. We were able to head into the park, walk some trails, go back to the cabin for naptime/lunch, and then head back out for the afternoon. It really was perfect. We will definitely stay here again!

Michael's place has a cozy, cabin vibe. While not fancy, it really suffices for a weekend in nature and is very close to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park. Michael was communicative and the place was set-up as described.

This cozy retreat is even better in real life. My family in law was so impressed with everything and immediately fell in love with the place. We would absolutely come back to visit again. Michael made us feel very welcome, and the place is spotless.

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.

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.).

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!!

Merrynook is a really cute cabin and very convenient to Sequoia National Park! We had a great experience. Mahalia was very welcoming and called when we arrived to see if we needed anything.

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.
