"Decided to try something different for my daughter's birthday. We've tent camped and trailer camped in the Sequoia National Forest a bunch of times. This is not far from there and was a great place to stay with all the amenities you could ever want or expect in a remote location. The kitchen was fully loaded with cooking utensils and pots and pans and the propane grill worked perfectly. Had a great time and left feeling refreshed. Planning to come back to do some more hiking in the fall or spring."

Serene 1-bedroom cabin in California Hot Springs perfect for relaxing

10/10 Excellent
"This cabin was so cute and quaint. Not to mention dog friendly. We really enjoyed our time there and it was perfect for what we needed. The host was incredibly quick to answer and very kind when we had questions or small issues that arose. There is a small market in town, but I would say it’s best to do major grocery shopping in a larger town on the way in."
