Preserved with care and rich in character, this historic mountain hideaway offers a rare and intimate glimpse into California’s early forest life, without sacrificing comfort. Set in the serene seclusion of the Sequoia National Monument, the cabin is surrounded by towering trees, whispering breezes, and a timeless sense of peace. Where most people crowd into the well-trodden paths of Sequoia National Park, this cabin invites you to experience something more authentic, personal, and rare. Why jostle for parking spots and trailhead selfies when you can wake up among the giant sequoias, sip your coffee on the porch beneath the evergreens, and walk to majestic hiking trails right from your door? Unlike the National Park, the National Monument allows for private cabins like this one, offering a true mountain-living experience in the forest—something the park simply doesn’t offer. Here, you're not just visiting nature; you're living in it. The Cabin Built in 1910 and lovingly maintained for over a century, this cabin is a genuine relic of mountain heritage. The weathered wood siding, antique details, and simple craftsmanship speak to an era before modern luxuries—yet you’ll find the amenities here comfortable and well thought out. Every corner of this cabin has a story, and you can feel it in the hand-built walls, the rustic hardware, and the natural flow of the space. This isn’t a replica. This is the real thing. Inside, you’ll find: A rock-built wood-burning fireplace, the heart of the home, perfect for curling up with a book or enjoying a glass of wine after a hike. The crackle of logs and the scent of woodsmoke transport you to a simpler time. Cozy vintage furnishings—warm, inviting, and intentionally simple. Everything from the antique light fixtures to the original windows helps maintain the cabin’s historic character. A well-equipped kitchen, modest but functional, stocked with the basics for preparing home-cooked meals. Whether you’re baking cornbread or brewing a pot of coffee, the space is perfect for those who like to cook while surrounded by nature. Comfortable sleeping arrangements, including a cozy main bedroom and a secondary sleeping space for guests or family. The bedding is plush, the linens are soft, and the forest views are unforgettable. A full bathroom with hot water, clean towels, and thoughtful touches that blend rustic charm with the comforts of home. The dining room walls hold a treasure trove of history, with handwritten messages and signatures from guests dating all the way back to 1910\. You'll find heartfelt notes, family names, and even entries from soldiers returning home after D-Day, etched into the wood and preserved for generations. It's a living guestbook that brings the past to life in the most personal way. Hot Tub Under the Trees One of the most magical features of this property is the private hot tub, nestled beneath a canopy of tall pines and firs. After a day spent hiking through groves of giant sequoias or exploring the backroads of the Sierra, there’s nothing quite like sinking into warm, bubbling water with the scent of cedar in the air and the stars beginning to shine overhead. This is relaxation the way it was meant to be: pure, natural, and immersed in the landscape. Location, Location, Location – Why the National Monument is the Real Gem The cabin sits within the Sequoia National Monument, a protected area of stunning natural beauty that shares its name and ancient trees with the more famous Sequoia National Park—but without the crowds. Here, the trails are quieter, the pace is slower, and the experience is more personal. One of the Monument’s biggest draws is that it allows private cabins within its boundaries. That means while visitors to the National Park must drive in, navigate visitor centers, and stay in dense campgrounds or remote lodges, guests of this cabin are already in the forest—living among the giants. You can literally walk out the door and be among groves of giant sequoias within minutes. Here are a few reasons why the National Monument offers a better experience for many travelers: Fewer crowds – No need to line up for a shuttle or fight through tour groups. The trails near the cabin are tranquil, allowing you to enjoy the sequoias in peace. Dogs are welcome – Unlike the National Park, where pets are restricted, the Monument is dog-friendly. Bring your pup along and explore together. Bike-friendly trails – Cyclists are welcome on many of the Monument's backroads and trails. It’s an ideal place to ride under the towering trees. Cabins in the forest – Experience the forest from the inside out. In the Monument, you can actually stay in a real cabin among the trees, something not available in the park itself. Local charm – A short walk brings you to a local general store for supplies, and a rustic saloon where locals and travelers gather. This is not a tourist trap—it’s a real mountain community. What’s Nearby This cabin is a basecamp for incredible natural experiences, all within walking or short driving distance: Giant Sequoia Groves – Towering, ancient trees just minutes away. Less foot traffic means better photo ops and a more intimate experience. Slate Mountain Saloon – A local favorite with cold drinks and friendly conversation. Camp Nelson Store – Stock up on snacks, drinks, and essentials. Hiking Trails – Dozens of scenic trails wind through the Monument, from easy forest strolls to challenging summit climbs. Mountain Biking & Horseback Riding – With open access trails and fire roads, there’s plenty of opportunity to explore on wheels or horseback. Swimming holes and creeks – Cool off in mountain-fed streams or spend an afternoon lounging by a quiet riverbend. Ideal For This cabin is perfect for: Couples looking for a romantic escape Writers, artists, or creatives seeking inspiration Families eager to introduce their kids to the forest in a safe, authentic way Dog owners who hate leaving their pups behind History buffs, nature lovers, and anyone craving solitude without isolation Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway, a weeklong adventure, or a remote work retreat with a Wi-Fi break, this cabin offers a completely unique stay. A Few Things to Know This is a historic home. It’s well cared for, but it was built in 1910—expect a few quirks and creaks. Cell service is limited. We see it as a plus, but come prepared to unplug. Winters can bring snow, and summers can be warm. Dress for the season and enjoy the weather like a local. Please treat the cabin and forest with respect. This is a protected area, and your care helps preserve it for future generations. The Cabin You’ll Never Forget In a world where so much feels fast, crowded, and digital, this cabin is a rare opportunity to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with nature, history, and yourself. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience, a mood, and a memory waiting to be made. So come. Light a fire. Watch the wind in the trees. Soak under the stars. And let this forest time capsule remind you what stillness and wonder really feel like. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Outdoor areas - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![1 bedroom, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105620000/105619200/105619114/172c7d10.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Camp Nelson Lodge Room 10 Springville - Microwave 8.0 Very good 1 review CA $175 CA $426 total includes taxes & fees Dec 14 - Dec 15 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=105619114&PinnedHotelID=105619114&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89310000/89300600/89300560/2e20a36e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Martin Cabin @Pierpoint By SNP Trail of Giants Springville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=89300560&PinnedHotelID=89300560&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105620000/105619200/105619135/e7c5c613.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Camp Nelson Lodge Room 9 Springville - Outdoor space - Mountain view - Microwave 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $175 CA $426 total includes taxes & fees Dec 14 - Dec 15 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=105619135&PinnedHotelID=105619135&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90150000/90149700/90149609/1552bad0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Little Bear Lodge Ponderosa Ca Springville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 25 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=90149609&PinnedHotelID=90149609&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78070000/78067800/78067788/w905h683x59y0-55d5c59b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Delightful Barn-Tavern Close to GIANT SEQUOIAS Springville - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 7.8 Good 11 reviews CA $185 CA $366 total includes taxes & fees Dec 12 - Dec 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-12&endDate=2025-12-13&selected=78067788&PinnedHotelID=78067788&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116720000/116716100/116716051/100eecc2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Trout River Cabin - Cozy Quiet Peaceful Retreat Springville - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning - Gym CA $423 CA $750 total includes taxes & fees Dec 22 - Dec 23 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=116716051&PinnedHotelID=116716051&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83600000/83593500/83593487/51d6def6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Harmony Ranch · Casual luxury!
