We loved our stay! The owners definitely put in a great deal of time and energy in the furnishings, decor and amenities to make this cabin relaxing and enjoyable. We couldn’t have been more thrilled the second we walked in the door and felt inspired and welcomed.

The cottage is a tranquil, serene place to stay. It was clean, well-equipped with everything we needed, and featured thoughtful and homey touches throughout. We would definitely recommend staying here if you plan to explore sequoia national park - it’s just a quick drive away! 10/10.

This home was exquisite. We’ve stayed in a lot of nice places. This was not just nice, it felt like home. I wanted to read every book on the shelves. The furniture is handmade by Rick. Much of the art is Martha’s. I’ve never been in a cleaner, more well appointed, more organized rental. Martha has gone out of her way to try to anticipate everything her guests might need and, at least for me, everything I needed was exactly where I looked for it. Luxurious in a very understated and comfortable way. Quiet. So much wildlife carries on around the koi cascades. If you just sit you will see a myriad of small birds and mammals. We loved watching the hummingbirds. We even had a bear visit, which was exciting! I hope that someday we have a chance to return to this serene oasis! We cannot thank Martha and Rick enough for their hospitality and kindness.

Can’t say enough about the place! Windows all around. Beautiful screened porch. Lovely design and decor. Every last thing you could need has been anticipated. One of our absolute best!!!

It’s hard to imagine a more perfect stay: a precious cottage built with craftsmanship and care; scenically nestled in a secluded pocket of nature; immaculately maintained; hospitably prepared with attention to literally every detail, and gleamingly cleaned. Visiting the Park was convenient and beautiful, but returning “home” to the cottage each evening was an equal delight. It was, indeed, a perfectly wonderful stay. It only rates 5 stars because “10” wasn’t an option. Thanks Martha and Rick.

I am lucky to say this was my second stay at the cottage. Tons of diffused natural light bathe the spaces and you are surrounded by trees and the sound of the river (and maybe some frogs at night). Martha has thought of everything that you could need - soft blankets, fluffy soft towels and a well stocked kitchen and even pantry items. There is a screened room off the living room that is a tranquil indoor/outdoor space. Because Sequoia was so snowy, I wandered in the BLM land which is about 0.5 miles up the road. Tons of open space, wildflowers, trees, Salt Creek, a little waterfall and occasionally horses and cows! This is a beautiful place to recharge your soul.

We love quiet and off the beaten path places and this totally fit the bill. Very well appointed cottage in a beautiful setting. Also make sure to take time to explore the BLM land up the road!

I know this has been said before but I’m going to say it again. The pictures do not do it justice. It’s so much more beautiful in person! The cottage itself is an amazing piece of work. From the garden out front and surrounding the house, to the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom, the patio, the pond, EVERYTHING. Down to the notes scattered around the house. Martha and Rick know how to make their guests feel very cozy and special. My girlfriend (now fiancé) and I had the best time here. We had plans to visit the park our second day being there but the house was just so inviting, we decided to sleep in, make brunch, take a local hike (where I proposed to my gf in private out in nature), and come back to relax, read our books, feed the fish, prep for dinner (we made soup), and we used the rest of our time binge watching Love is Blind, on the couch with the blankets over us. It was peak cozy levels. This place has left us with a lasting positive impression. The cottage is special. We definitely will come back to visit. Hopefully for more days and when the skies are clearer and sunny. Thank you for all you do, Martha and Rick!
