Group Retreat with Hot Tub and Studio

Summary:

Explore Central CA from this unique Visalia home with a main house & separate studio. Perfect for large groups, it features an award-winning outdoor oasis with a hot tub, outdoor kitchen, & fire pit. Enjoy a desert-scape paradise just a mile from Downtown and a short drive to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. A perfect base for adventure and relaxation. In addition to the Parks, other day trips from this listing include skiing at Sierra Summit, wine tasting in the Paso Robles wine region, and the Central CA Coast.



The Space:

This property is an ideal arrangement for large groups, offering spaces to gather together and retreat for privacy. It has been featured twice on the Garden Club's Garden Tour for its stunning and unique landscape design.



An Award-Winning Outdoor Oasis Step through the front gate into a desert-scape paradise with a dry creek bed and boulders, elegantly lit at night. The backyard is a private resort featuring:



A complete outdoor kitchen for unforgettable BBQs.

A large hot tub with room for 6 guests.

A soothing waterfall and koi pond.

A cozy fire pit, perfect for relaxing on cool evenings.



The Main House Inside, you'll find a beautifully decorated contemporary-California style home where every detail is considered.



* Living & Dining: The living room offers seating for 8, a flat-screen TV, arcade games, and a cozy fireplace. The updated kitchen is fully equipped with a gas range, dishwasher, blender, toaster, and coffee maker. Enjoy meals at the 3-person breakfast bar or in the separate dining room that comfortably seats 6.

* Bedrooms & Baths: Rest peacefully on Tempurpedic memory foam mattresses with soft, quality linens. We provide luggage stands, toiletries, and a newly renovated bathroom with a modern dual vanity.

* Family-Ready: A crib, pack 'n play, and high chair are available for our youngest guests.



The Garden Studio Apartment Accessed via a separate entrance, this large, private studio is bright and welcoming. It includes two queen beds, a dining table for 4, and a functional kitchenette with a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. A comfortable office chair is provided for remote work, and the back door opens onto the main patio, offering lovely views of the waterfall and garden.

Guests have exclusive and private access to the entire property. This includes the main house, the separate garden studio apartment, and all outdoor amenities like the hot tub, patio, and outdoor kitchen. There are no shared spaces on the property, ensuring complete privacy for your group.



The Neighborhood:

Older custom homes and huge mature trees surround this Visalia neighborhood.



The specific street the house is on is a main thoroughfare, (although the house is set back from the street), and is less than 1 mile from downtown, the Convention Center, and the Hospital District. Downtown Visalia has lovely shops, restaurants, and bars.



Getting Around:

If you don't have a personal vehicle, you can walk to most destinations, although you will be on a busy street and a pedestrian walkway over the freeway getting there. The walk is safe but not picturesque. But this helps you avoid having to find parking and makes it safe to enjoy adult beverages since you don't have to drive. Alternatively, there is Lyft and Uber- wait times vary.

The house is quite comfortable for a large group to stay. The home is very clean and well stocked. The house looks just as it appears in the pictures. The home is located in a nice quiet neighborhood, but stores and restaurants are close by.

New Years Weekend

The house was great, the hot tub was the key to everything along with the fireplace. Only thing was that we couldn’t put the heater higher than 70 degrees and it got chilly inside but overall great location. It fit all of us comfortably, close to grocery store and about 45 min away to Sequoia! Will definitely rent again. Thank you Lisa for hosting us.

A wonderful stay at Lisa’s place

My family was looking for a quick getaway near Sequoia national park and Lisa’s home was the perfect one. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving get together at her place. Her home was very well-equipped for the needs of our kids and family. Everything was clean and well taken care of. I would highly recommend Lisa’s place.

A good place to stay and cover Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon

A good place to stay and cover Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon if you are willing to drive each day. Visalia is a small cozy city and got all the facilities you need. The house is clean with an additional apartment that got 2 queen beds however, its detached from the main house. open space in front and back. A big drive way, Overall its a nice place to stay.

We really liked the house and the apartment for our stay. The house is close to the highway, and not too far from Sequoia National park. The property was clean, exactly as described in the listing. We will definitely consider staying here again when we visit Sequoia NP next.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. There were 7 of us, so we had both the main house as well as the back house. Lisa was a great communicator and easy to work with. The layout of the house works very well for a family. Just the right space and lots of good seating for dining. Would stay here again..

Clean, Inviting with all the comforts of home

House and Guest House were both clean and inviting. Main house was very well stocked and welcoming. The yard was pleasant and great for entertaining. The hot tub was overly chlorinated...not sure if that was due to Covid precautions, but we had to get out after just a short time due to burning eyes. Overall, a wonderful home and a great getaway. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend.

Our stay at Giddings home

Our experience was not good at all the property manager spoke to me like I was a child I am a 56 year old and she was not pleasant at all her and my husband also had words. The house was not clean and definitely not to covid standards by far. I had to clean the home myself for my family and I. Also if you are looking for a vacation home where you can have cool or heat then I would advise you to not book this home the property manager controls it at all time we asked to cool the home down more and the manager told us to open the windows in a state that was covered in smoke from the fires that's what the answer we got Not so friendly at all The whole reason we picked this home was because of the reviews but I would not recommend this property

Excellent Spot For a Family Gathering

The property was very nice and quite comfortable for our group of eight. We mistakenly never used the garden apartment with its two double beds, but it was still large enough. It was very well appointed and the back garden is quite an oasis. The hosts were very responsive and quickly assisted us with the one issue we had, which was the A/C. It was very hot when we visited, so the A/C had a hard time keeping the house cool, but the hosts were able to remotely access the thermostat to cool it down for us. There's plenty of off-street parking and it's less than a mile from a local market.
