      Hummingbird House: Comfy Base for Exploring Sequoia & Kings Canyon Nat'l Parks

      Welcome to Hummingbird House! Set in the Sierra Nevada foothills, 25 minutes from the entrance to Kings Canyon National Park, this quiet and cozy home provides a place to rejuvenate or a base from which to explore the magnificent Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and surrounding national forests. Featuring four distinct seasons, there is beauty year round. Enjoy the scenic drive through the Sierra Nevada foothills on your way to the house. Lazy country roads provide good walking/biking routes. Perfect for couples, families and those who love nature and the outdoors!

      The 3BDRM/2BA house is fully appointed and includes a master bed/bath suite with a king bed and two additional roomy bedrooms with a queen bed in each. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a waffle-maker, smoothie blender, coffee and tea makers, etc. Breakfast food and snacks are provided.

      The house has high-speed wifi suitable for streaming video and any other internet tasks. It also includes a complimentary electric vehicle charger for those who need a charge before heading to the national parks or back home.

      Outside the house is fifty acres for you to explore. Take a walk to the creek or the pond. Watch the deer and wild turkeys wander through the yard. Enjoy the zillions of hummingbirds! There is a deck in the back yard and a pellet grill for outdoor cooking.

      As most of my guests say, you'll want to spend more time at the Hummingbird House!

      Charming hideaway
      Hummingbird House is just lovely! Nestled in the Sierras, on a large piece of property that is delightful on its own, it was the perfect location for easy entry into King’s Canyon NP and from there down into Sequoia NP. We were able to see highlights of both in one loop from the house, returning through Three Rivers on Kaweah Lake. The house is spacious, with comfortable beds, washer/dryer, and even snacks in the kitchen! There were fresh eggs from a neighbor in the fridge as well as juice and milk. Joni was easy to reach and very helpful. She has a book full of recommendations about the area and pictures of all the nearby wildlife that her cameras have caught. Highly recommend!

      Hummingbird House Stay
      My family and myself came up to go to Sequoia and Kings Canyon for a week, and stayed at the Hummingbird House. The house owner was very very readily available and quick to respond with things. They house also was stocked with breakfast items for our stay which was very nice. We enjoyed our stay here very much and was very impressed with the home.

      Surrounded By Nature
      We stayed here a few nights while visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. Joni was a wonderful host. We were greeted by hummingbirds and wild turkeys when we arrived. Joni was just a call or text away and checked on our arrival. She even had local farm fresh eggs, fruit, and some other breakfest items waiting for us. The house is surrounded by nature and a perfect spot to unplug and unwind.

      Great Stay
      The house (and host) were perfect. Everything very clean and relaxing. Large space, snacks for us when we arrived, comfortable beds. The road leading us up was difficult to drive, but that didn't have anything to do with the host! Thank you, and we would definitely stay again :-).
