Great location for a big gathering
Carri was great in communication. Great place to host a big gathering. Very close to kings canyon and not far from the hwys too. The only thing I was disappointed by is this house has 5 bedrooms. I mistook the listing and thought it was going to be 6 bedrooms.

Great place, very pretty and extremely kind host. Cameras were not listed on listing though.
Very nice place, very good house and pretty area. Cameras were not listed on original property listing but there were multiple at the house. The cleanup instructions were a bit longer than other places I've stayed but otherwise good place.

Amazing Time
This place is awesome. Lots of space inside and outside of the home. We loved the hikes into the hills and the unexpected hero was Pac-Man.
Definitly a memorable "Thanksmas" for the families that came
Perfect for our extended family - felt like a home, not like a rental.

Great Time
Everyone fit nicely! Plenty of room inside and out for a family of 12. Close to the sequoias and big cats.
Bring extra ice, no ice maker.

Great space for a trip to the sequioas
We had an awesome time at this home! It was close to the park and enough space for the whole family. It's tucked in between some picturesque hills and we felt very relaxed there. The host was very communicative.

Great Place, Great Host
Host was very nice. She thought of everything. Property was perfect and just what we needed. Location was great and a close drive to Kings Canyon Park entrance and the General Grant tree. I would stay there again and would certainly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Quiet Mountain Getaway
Our family spent Thanksgiving weekend at this Squaw Valley house. The space and layout for large groups of all ages is perfect. We had fun playing basketball and going to King’s Canyon.
