Beautiful Private Cottage 3 miles from the Sequoia Park Entrance

Tucked into the lower east side of Salt Creek Canyon sits this beautiful hand-crafted 580 square foot guest house on nine acres. Originally built by owner as a writing and painting studio in the late 1980s, it has an open floor plan with a wood beam ceiling and pine plank flooring. All wood furniture is made by owner. The screened in porch opens onto two wooden decks that over look a series of cascading ponds and Salt Creek farther below. A separate driveway from Salt Creek Road (also known as Craig Ranch Road) with carport provides parking and privacy.
Location makes it very easy to get to where you want to go, whether it is to the park, to town or to the end of south fork and lady bug trail. A half mile walk or bike ride further up Salt Creek Road gives you access to BLM (Bureau of Land Management—public lands) and Case Mountain for great hiking and mountain biking trails, as well as, Salt Creek waterfalls. (seasonally winter and spring) It is a park all unto itself.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony or patio. A Smart television along with a DVD player are provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Revisiting Sequoia Ntl. Forest after 30 ish years I stumbled on this lovely rental on VRBO. Our host Martha was very responsive to any inquiries we had. As for the accomodations, where do I begin? The back story of how the owner built this cute cottage as an art studio is impressive. The attention to detail and special little touches in the cottage made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The log post detail built into the corner of the screened sunroom was such a perfect touch to bring the outdoors in. You truly can see that the owners wanted the cottage to blend in with nature. We enjoyed the hummingbirds, turkeys, Doves, Quail to name a few. Being lulled to sleep by the sounds of the water trickling through the ponds, frogs singing during late evening was a treat. We took everything in, the creek below the cottage, the proximity to Seqoia Ntl. Forest, hiking up to Case Mountain and exploring the falls, Kaweah Lake not being far from the property was a plus! It was such an enjoyable stay to celebrate my husband's 55th birthday. Thank you Rick & Martha for your hospitality! Our stay by far was one of our favorite stays. You have an amazing cottage We definitely will be back.

Great House and Location - Really clean and beautifully decorated and furnished - Well stocked kitchen with everything you could need for preparing meals. Wonderful deck overlooking a series of small descending ponds - super quiet and completely immersed in a wooded environment. Super close to the Sequoia National Park entrance and the Case Mountain Recreation area is a half mile away with some wonderful trails for a leisurely hike. We loved our stay at the Salt Creek Cottage - it couldn't have been more relaxing and comfortable. Highly recommended.

This bucolic Arts and Crafts cottage exceeded all expectations. We were lucky to have 70 degree weather on the evening we arrived and soaked up every bit of light outside on the magical deck. It’s a good thing, because the weather turned rainy and cold.The cottage is impeccably furnished and organized for a luxurious stay. I only wish we had more than two nights.

This cabin is more than fully stocked! Every cabinet, drawer, and shelf was loaded with everyday items! The cabin was very clean and very close to Sequoia NP, the town of Three Rivers, and Case Mountain Recreation Area. The hostess was very quick to respond to my questions and had loads of information in the cabin for recommendations for dining out, local hikes, tips, suggestions, etc. It was a perfectly relaxing and fun stay!

What a beautiful cottage! The backdrop of the woods was wonderful. The fishpond is a great addition to the property. Hopefully we will be able to explore the river next time.It had everything we needed for our extended weekend. Hopefully we will be able to come in the spring and enjoy the screened in porch.

Truly amazing! The cabin is so clean and well cared for and the location! Wow. After many days of travel to reach our oasis and then a full day right away the next day in SNF (on 9/30 not knowing at the time if the government would shut down and what that might mean for National Parks) the three days we had to rest, unwind, breathe the wonderful mountain air, listen and watch the many birds and animals that wander by….they were perfect. Even with some rain on our last full day it was still peaceful. Enjoyed many games of cribbage and most of our in house meals in the wonderful screened in porch. Martha and Rick have done a fabulous job making sure this cottage will be a perfect stay. Thanks for sharing with us. We only hope we can return one day
So relaxing! Just you and the Hummingbirds

Wow! We wish that we had a higher number to give it! We have traveled a lot, and we have stayed in a lot of spaces. This is the nicest experience that we have had so far, Everything was perfection from the homemade furniture to the koi pond. Every view from the back of the house overlooks nature. We felt like we were living in a tree house! The deer and hummingbirds kept us company. The only regret is that we didn’t have more time to spend there,

The Loveliest Cottage!

This is just the most gorgeous home - we were so impressed with every detail from the beautiful wood furnishings, the art, the windows letting natural light into every corner, the candles, the screened-in porch to have coffee and watch the hummingbirds in the morning, and more. Martha and Rick have truly thought of every amenity you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable. Martha is such a warm and lovely person and we appreciated her communication with us. We would love to return again, perhaps to experience a different season in this magical place!

Wonderful little paradise in serene setting

My husband and I stayed for four nights in this cute little cottage. It was perfect for us and I have to say the best VRBO we have stayed at. Martha and Rich’s attention to detail and communication, from driving directions to check in and out made everything so easy. Cottage so well appointed it was like living at home. Rich’s handmade wooden furniture is gorgeous and the plants, and orchids…just made you feel at one with nature. Greeted by deer and hummingbirds every morning in our private wooded sanctuary. Just a short drive to sequoia national park and three rivers downtown area. ( Brewery was great and little village store had excellent food.) Bonus hiking right down the road at BLM. They also had multiple books with hiking info for sequoia, kings canyon and Yosemite. Other books and DVDs. Highly recommend!
