Historic Cabin inside Kings Canyon National Park

Welcome to the Knotty Cabin! This is a unique opportunity to stay in a privately-owned cabin in the Grant Grove section of Kings Canyon National Park. The historical community of Wilsonia was established in 1918 and is just minutes away from the General Grant Tree.

The Knotty Cabin was built in 1923. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was recently updated with many modern conveniences while retaining its rustic, historical feel. Step back in time and enjoy the slow pace of cabin life.

Bedroom 1: downstairs, 1 queen bed
Bedroom 2: upstairs, 1 queen bed, 1 cot sized bed
Bedroom 3: upstairs, 2 twin beds

Bathroom 1: Downstairs, bathtub
Bathroom 2: Upstairs, shower

Guest have access to all spaces except the garage.

You can reach me anytime with any questions or concerns.

The cabin is in walking distance of the Kings Canyon National Park Visitor Center, the gift shop, grocery store, restaurant and the General Grant Tree (The Nation's Christmas Tree). Hume Lake is about 20 minutes away. Other attractions nearby include Big Stump Meadow, Boole Tree, Converse Basin, and Panoramic Point, among others.

The grocery store at Grant Grove has a limited selection. It is best to bring your own food.

There is no gas station in Grant Grove. Plan accordingly.

Please note, the stairs to the second floor are quite steep and narrow. We recommend using the handrails and taking extra care while going up or down. There are some charming, yet uneven, rock paths around the cabin, as well as steps outside each exterior door. We encourage you to move carefully while you enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Our cabin boasts central heat, easily controlled with a Nest thermostat, so you can stay warm and cozy no matter the cold weather outside.

We’re excited to offer Starlink, providing unlimited high-speed internet during your stay!

During the winter season (October-May), snow is common, so be sure to carry chains. If the driveway gets snowed in, feel free to park in the lot just past the cabin on Park Road. Please back in perpendicular and leave your phone number in case the snowplow needs to contact you.

Wilsonia doesn’t have trash service during the winter months (late October - early May). We kindly ask that you take your trash with you when you depart. You can drop it off at the dumpsters located in the Azalea Campground or the Big Stump parking lot or in the trash cans at the Grant Grove Visitors Center.

To ensure we have enough towels and amenities for everyone, please make sure all guests are included in your reservation. Our cabin has sleeping space for up to 7 guests, so we kindly ask that you don’t exceed that number. This helps us provide a comfortable and enjoyable stay for everyone.
