Inside Space

The cabin is 1,543 square feet across four levels, and the layout works for the group that wants to be together but still have a door to close at night. The main floor (level 3) is where everyone lands — living area, kitchen, and the primary suite — with a loft above, a twin-bed room below. A speaker system runs the music; two Fire Stick TVs handle movie night with your own subscriptions.

Kitchen + Dining

Built for real cooking: a 5-burner gas range with double ovens, two full-size refrigerators, dishwasher, microwave, Keurig and drip coffee makers, blender, food processor, and a juicer. Stock up in Porterville on the drive in — there are no stores in Sequoia Crest — and this kitchen carries the rest of the week. The dining area sits right off the kitchen; a washer and dryer are on site.

Bedrooms
Primary suite — Level 3 (main floor): King bed with en-suite bathroom: bidet, freestanding clawfoot soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower.
Twin room — Level 2: Three twin beds with its own en-suite bathroom. Great for kids or the friends who called last.
Loft — Level 4: Full bed perched above the main living area. The eagle's nest inside Eagle's Nest.

Bathrooms

Two full en-suite bathrooms — the primary suite's (clawfoot tub, bidet, walk-in shower) and the twin room's — plus a half bath [confirm: location]. One lower-level bathroom is locked for owner use and not part of the rental. The primary bath's clawfoot tub is worth the trip on its own.

Outside Space

Decks on multiple levels, an A-frame roofline through the trees, and forest in every direction. The hot tub sits on the upper deck off the primary suite — elevated, private, facing the forest, and the best seat on the property once the temperature drops and the sky opens up. A BBQ grill lives on the deck. Private Poppy Lake is a short walk away, and the Sequoia National Forest starts where the driveway ends.

The cabin is yours across the top 3 levels — every sleeping space, both living areas, the full kitchen, the hot tub, and the decks. The one exception: a lower-level bathroom is locked for owner use and not part of the rental. No shared areas otherwise, no front desk, no one to coordinate with. The level-1 bathroom has its own exterior entrance and is separate from the other floors.

Check-in is self-service via smart lock — your personal code arrives before your stay. A backup lockbox is on site; its location and combo are shared in your check-in instructions.

Parking for up to 2 vehicles on a long, narrow driveway with one turnaround. No trailers, no vehicles over 20 feet. 4WD or AWD strongly recommended, required with chains in winter.

We're always available through the platform during your stay — trail recommendations, dining suggestions, or anything that needs attention. We know Sequoia Crest well and love helping guests make the most of their time in the forest. That said, we believe the best stay is one where you barely need us. Your time in the mountains is yours. We stay out of the way — and we're a message away when it matters.

1. No cell service in Sequoia Crest. Download offline maps before leaving Porterville or Springville (Google Maps offline and AllTrails both work). WiFi calling works once you're on the cabin's Spectrum internet.
2. Backup generator on the middle deck. SoCal Edison cuts power in this area from time to time. If the power goes out, set the generator to AUTO; restore it to OFF before you leave.
3. Central AC: keep the thermostat at or above 72°F with doors and windows closed while running — this prevents the unit from freezing over.
4. Septic system: flush only the toilet paper provided — no wipes, feminine products, paper towels, or grease. Space out long showers; the drainfield has limits.
5. No trash left at the cabin upon checkout, it must be taken by guests and disposed of elsewhere. $100 Trash Fee for any trash that is found after checkout.
6. Winter access is real mountain business. The driveway requires plowing and the Redwood Drive approach is steep and can be icy — chains or 4WD required. Check conditions, build in time, and don't arrive after dark in uncertain weather.
7. Booking age requirement: 21. The primary booker must be 21+ at the time of booking.
8. Exterior security cameras are in use on the property.
