vacation rental description
This romantic cabin is within the Giant Sequoia National Monument at 3800' elevation with a breathtaking view of the Sierra to the east and an expansive view of the valley (sometimes to the Coast Ranges) to the west.
A stunning waterfall and series of pools carved out of solid granite bedrock are on the property just behind the cabin on Bear Creek for cooling off or relaxing by. The cabin sits above the waterfalls and access is by a short but steep switchback trail down to creek level. (General terrain and trail may be difficult for some children and adults not in good physical shape. Ask owner)
It's a perfect 'out there' couple's or writer's retreat for those who want to lose the touristy scene and find some serenity.
The cabin is surrounded by pines, oaks and manzanitas and serenaded by the sound of the waterfall. The site was a long-time camp for local Native Americans. Artifacts have been discovered here and mortar stones for grinding acorns surround the cabin.
The house is located on Bear Creek Road within the Giant Sequoia National Monument, and 10 miles from the quaint village of Springville . Drive 8 miles farther up the mountain and drive, hike, ski or horseback to ancient Giant Sequoia groves and idyllic mountain lakes in Balch Park .

activities and attractions in Sequoia High Sierra/Gold Country
A comprehensive hiking and recreation binder is provided at the house with maps and descriptions of local hikes, Big Trees, swimming and fishing holes, waterfalls, and scenic drives and horseback rides to help you plan your time.
Drive just a few more miles up the mountain and see untouristed ancient Giant Sequoia groves, waterfalls and idyllic mountain lakes at Balch Park or Ponderosa or use the house as a hub for some of the best bicycle and motorcycle touring roads in the Sierras. Rent horses from Balch Park Pack Station for hourly or overnight riding. Our mountain region is a mecca for rock climbers, snow mobilers, back country horseman, and hang gliders.
There are many opportunities for fishing on Success Lake, the roaring Tule River and beautiful mountain lakes. Water sport enthusiasts will enjoy local Lake Success for jet skiing, boating and water skiing. Our area also has Eagle Mountain Casino for gaming, and River Island Country Club for golfing.
Naturalists and Bird watchers have wildlife wiewing galore in our untouched part of the Sierra. Roadsides, pastures and woodlands come alive in the Spring with native wildflowers and blossoming Redbuds and Dogwoods.
Take the scenic drive up Yokohl Valley road to the nearby towns of Exeter or Visalia and enjoy antiquing and art hunting in their historic downtowns. We are nearby the quaint untouched village of Springville with lovely gift shops and diverse eateries from downhome to upscale. Go for a tour of Tulare county's many murals in our historic old west towns or drive the Blossom Trail in April-May for miles of Apple blossoms in local orchards. Come slow down with us and enjoy a secret part of the Sierra largely undiscovered by tourists.
Come to the Springville area for our Springville Sierra PRCA Rodeo in late April or our popular Apple Festival craft and food fair in mid-October. Our spectacular wildflower season is March through May.
