Creekside Cabin ~ 20 Mi to Kings Canyon Park!

Reviews

• Great cabin next to a tranquil stream

  5/5

  Our host was amazing in communicating with us about the property and things to do in the area. The cabin was exactly what we were looking for a small family trip to visit Kings Canyon and Sequoia parks. We would definitely stay again.

  The cabin is cute and cozy but it was extremely difficult to find and was 45 minutes away from any kind of store or gas station. Directions for sign in and out were never sent. It’s across from a church camp down a gravel trail, so our GPS took us to the camp’s baseball field and we drove up and down the road before we saw it listed as the house number plus a B which was confusing. No service so we couldn’t try getting on the app or calling. The road to get to/from the cabin takes about 3 minutes to go one mile bc of the winding. It was not convenient to cook or store food in the old style appliances and the dishes were dirty. They had water but you can’t use the faucet water to drink or eat. They also asked that the washer and dryer for laundry not be used except for an emergency but the laundry was part of why I had booked the house. We booked it to be close to Kings Canyon and be able to save money by cooking and packing meals but the tiny freezer and distance had us eating out a lot more. Again, it was cute but not close to Kings Canyon, gas stations, or stores. (My daughter loved it bc she felt like it was a fairy cabin and we decided if it was a place we went to for a girls weekend to read it would have been perfect; just not a great place for our family of 6 to go hiking)

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Hannah, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  -The cabin’s remote location is intentional for a peaceful, off-the-grid getaway—though we understand it’s not ideal for every itinerary. The homeowner personally reaches out to guests when contact info is provided to help set expectations about distance, cell service, and GPS accuracy.
  -Evolve does send out detailed check-in instructions via email ahead of every stay, including turn-by-turn directions since GPS often misguides guests in this area.
  -The water source is creek-fed and not suitable for drinking, but the homeowner stocks bottled water on-site for guest use.
  -Guests are welcome to use the washer and dryer, and detergent is provided. The homeowner simply asks that guests be mindful of the small-capacity washer and the home’s water conservation efforts.
  Thanks again, and we hope that you keep us in mind for your next relaxing escape!

  The owners had everything you would need for your stay. Just bring whatever food you like. There is a wood burning fire pit near the creek, a gas burning fire pit on the deck with a gas grill. The cabin is fully furnished. During our stay the neighbors were not home so it was very quiet and secluded. The owners were nice enough to have a binder giving directions to the National parks as well.

  This cabin is absolutely beautiful! I could go on and on about my stay here. The owners are lovely people and you can tell that so much thought went into creating this little slice of heaven. We can't wait to come back in the summer. 15/10!!
