About this house rental

Note: We now have a preview video on YouTube. VRBO's normal video link is down for a while, so just search Cinnamon Creek Cottage on YT to watch!

Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, just a short drive from the south entrance to Sequoia National Park, Cinnamon Creek Cottage is ideally located for your weekend or week-long getaway! Built in 2004, our cottage is recently refurbished with the vacation traveler in mind. It will comfortably sleep six with an updated master bedroom king bed, guest bedroom queen and pull-out sofa. The kitchen cookware and serving-ware are also all updated and replaced as needed, as are linens and towels and great-room furniture. The house has been updated from top to bottom including a fresh coat of paint.

Our cottage is located in the heart of Three Rivers ranch country. You'll be bordered on one side by a neighboring cattle ranch and have the relaxing sound of the south fork of the Kaweah river drifting in from several hundred yards to the south. Ranch animals and wildlife are abundant. You may well see deer feeding on the back lawn, hear the call of coyotes at dusk or see cattle grazing just a few feet from the east fence. Wild turkey and quail frequent the area. A small stream occasionally flows through the backyard, varying from no more than a trickle to a steady flow depending on rain or irrigation from the ranch next door. You may even have a visit from the neighbors Labrador Retrievers, guinea hens or free-range chickens!

The house is fully furnished with everything you need. Just bring yourselves and food for meals if you plan to cook.

Cinnamon Creek Cottage is owned by a multi-generation family of Sequoia National Park employees and their extended family, and is decorated to reflect this heritage. Several of the owners are nearby should you have need. If available they may meet you upon arrival. If not, a key lockbox is used and you will have the combination, and a Welcome Book will guide you as you set up house.

Landscaping includes citrus trees and a beautiful rose lined fence in the back. The back yard has a large grassy area for play, and a picnic table with a gas grill.

The neighborhood is quiet. Typically the only traffic on South Fork Drive is local residents and occasional hikers, as the road dead-ends at Sequoia Park's Lady Bug Trail. Our cottage is at the base of Cinnamon Creek Canyon, a small mountain valley where many owners raise cattle and horses. Unlike in Three Rivers there is very little tourist activity. At most you may see a few neighbors out for a morning walk, or a cattle trailer or two moving livestock to the valley.

Highway 198 and Three Rivers proper is just a few minutes back down the hill. This pleasant drive takes you to a small town that caters to both locals and park visitors. There are several restaurants, a number of shops and a nice grocery store with all the basics. The south entrance to Sequoia National Park is just north of Three Rivers.

Should you choose to continue your way up South Fork Drive you'll find you are only a few miles from the little-used Lady Bug trail-head at Sequoia National Park. This is an excellent destination for a day hike, and is often used as a starting point for back-country campers.

Another great day trip is Kings Canyon and Mineral King, both part of Sequoia National Park proper. The turnoff is on the way to Sequoia's south gate, and is a winding, very scenic back-road up to an area less frequented by tourists. Take your time, and take a full day's supply of food and drink. There is only one place to stop for supplies on the way up if you've left anything (Silver City, great pie!). It would be a good idea to research a little online so you know what to expect. It is very much worth the trip.

You will pass Lake Kaweah on the way up the hill from Visalia. This is a large man-made reservoir and a favorite destination for boating, swimming, kayaking and fishing.

Attending a destination wedding at Redwood Ranch? We are one of the closest vacation rentals in the area. Just 2.6 miles from driveway to driveway.

Also, please note that we base price for two guests, and add $ 10 per person per night for more than two. This way when we only have one or two using the cottage, they are not paying for a bed and bathroom they do not use.

Our WiFi is strong and reliable, and we offer a small desk in the master bedroom for those who work from home.

Cell signal is AT&T only. Three bars at best.

Please contact us with questions. We'd love to have you visit!

This was our second stay at this property while visiting from the east coast. The pictures accurately reflect the property, easy communication with homeowner and well equipped. It is a great location to serve as base for enjoying all that Sequoia NP has to offer. Recently recommended this property to family in Texas, they will be staying next month.

Our family enjoyed our stay at the Cinnamon Creek Cabin. Standouts for us included the beautiful setting (mountains all around, beautiful yard), the well-stocked home (plenty of towels for a family with teens, and plenty of hooks to hang all the towels on), and all the supplies we needed for cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the home. The house was perfectly clean and the beds were comfortable. The owners were very clear about the remote location, and that's no joke- you are about 15 minutes' drive from any services or cell service, but that's part of the charm. The star gazing is fantastic! Three Rivers was a cute little town and Sequoia National Park/King's Canyon NP were incredible. Thankful to Cinnamon Creek Cabin for giving us an opportunity to experience these national parks while having a comfortable home base!
