About this property

Sequoia Forest Cabin—Lake & River—Ski, Raft, Hike, Bike and More

Things to Do:
The Alta Sierra community is around 6,000 ft elevation with beautiful large Sequoia trees surrounding the neighborhood. The area has cool summer days and snow during the winter. This cabin is nestled in the Sequoia National Forest and is centrally located. Activities all around—3 mi. from Alta Sierra Ski Resort, 7 mi. from Kernville, 8 mi. from Lake Isabella, 7 mi. from water rafting, and a few miles from hiking/biking trails or Off-Highway Vehicle trails! Cool summer days and snow in the white winter. The cabin offers a beautiful indoor fireplace, central heating, many beds, 3 TVs, fully equipped kitchen, dining room and living room.

Winter time - enjoy the ski resort or tubing in the snow. The property will have lots of snow to play in during the winter (as Mother Nature permits!) During the winter, four wheel drive and chains are required to pull into the driveway and sometimes to get to the ski resort. Our cabin road is plowed daily, however the driveway is steep for normal vehicles.

Warmer days - Kernville offers tube-floating down the river, a large park with basketball courts, adoring local antique shops, and lots of dining. Or cruise to Lake Isabella where they offer water rentals at French Gulch Marina. Find yourself wanting a bit of excitement, enjoy water rafting at Kern River Outfitters.

Anytime - enjoy hiking and biking trails, Unal and Whiskey Flats are a few of our favorites.
The area also offers off-highway trails for dirts bikes, quads and more at Cyrus Canyon OHV Park and Bull Run OHV.

Things to Note:
** The French Fire was contained September 2021. There is no damage near our cabin, surrounding cabins, the Alta Sierra community, Lake Isabella, or Kernville. Firefighters did an amazing job protecting all the communities!

**Upstairs room: At this time, the loft ladder to the 2nd level can NOT be put away or made inaccessible. If you have small children or pets, please ensure safety gate is placed around ladder. Safety gate it located behind the living room sofa.

**Forest animals: you will likely see deer every day from the windows/deck. They travel in packs and are very timid, most will run when the hear/see anything. There are also lots of birds (see our bird book!), squirrels, chipmunks, and lots of other smaller, harmless animals. However, we have heard of neighbors encountering bob cats and less so, bears. Please use caution while outdoors/strolling in the neighborhood, especially when with small children and/or pets.

**Trash can: located on the south side of the road (it is the only trash can visible from the cabin/driveway). Trash services only drive East on the road so the trash can must stay on the opposite side of the road. Trash services are on Wednesday mornings.

** WiFi: high speed cable internet is not offered in the Alta Sierra community or surrounding area. The best and fastest internet option is Verizon HotSpot, which is available for your use during your stay . For best streaming, we recommend Netflix (Netflix is available on all TVs for our guests).

You and your guests will have cellular reception and internet connection at this cabin. However, if you plan to explore the Alta Sierra neighborhood and surrounding areas, there are many “dead zones” that have limited or no internet connection or cellular reception. Prep with directions prior to exploring.

**Laundromats 12 mi. or 14 mi. from cabin.
River Wash —13426 Sierra Way, Kernville
L&L—5312 Lake Isabella Blvd, Lake Isabella

**Hot water heater breaker is electric and flips down once in a while (not often). Breaker box is located outside on the north side of the cabin (back of cabin, near the fireplace). The hot water heater breaker is labeled, flip it off, and back on if it happens to flip off.

**Access information will be provided prior to your stay.

Our stay in Alta sierra

The upstairs room was really a lot of fun. The kids really enjoyed the air hockey game and the foose ball. Really liked the feature on the fire place that heated the room. It was a warm and cozy cabin. Loved the location and the best was that it snowed. So beautiful.

Great Cabin in the Mountains

We loved our stay at this cabin! It was quiet and peaceful. Our dogs loved it as well. The main bed was extremely comfortable and the rest of the house was very nice. We played games upstairs every night we were there (pool, air hockey and the board games they had). We'd love to come back again!

Perfect cabin for a family

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving getaway at this cabin. It exuded coziness, serenity, and relaxation. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the host's responsiveness and helpfulness made our stay even more enjoyable. Nestled in a quiet area, the cabin offered a perfect escape. The game room was a hit, and the well-equipped space catered perfectly to our family needs. A memorable retreat that made our holiday special.

Lovely secluded cabin

We did not want to leave. This was a perfect place to stay. The host was beyond responsive too, and immediately got back to us with every question! We felt relaxed and at peace the entire time. One note: if you have heavier people in your party, the upstairs might not be easily accessible. The same goes for young children.

Fun away with a bunch of 5 teen boys 15-16

We got there at night which was a little tough but once we settled in the relaxation and happy began. It was so nice to hear nothing but laughter coming from my boys upstairs where all the games were. The short drive away there were amazing hikes and scenery. Thank you Megan We hope to make this an annual event.

Wonderful Stay!

I spent the week here with my sister's family (4 children) and my husband. It was a beautiful area with a nice neighborhood feel. We loved that there was a bar and grill we could walk to from the house! The house itself was well allocated. Upon entering, we were a bit concerned that the space would be very tight quarters for the week, however, we were very happy to find that the upstairs area was quite spacious and had a ton of activities to keep the children entertained (ages 10-15). We would definitely recommend staying here and also would suggest that everyone heed the information about the driveway. We had no issues with it but had it been snowing while we were there, it could have been challenging!

Absolutely charming stay

This was our second time only renting a property instead of camper or hotel. I did research and prayed all is gonna be well. I definitely exceeded our expectstions 🌺 host was very responsive and communicative. Got all info and instructions as promised. Arrived to the property and instantly felt like ‘home’. Very cozy, smelled really nice. Everything was clean and there. Lots of entertainment for kids - we had 4 ages 8-13 who played pool, air hockey and many other classic games. TVs we’re there but didn’t turn them on. Deer visited us every evening and morning. We can’t wait to come back in the winter to enjoy snow wonderland. Thank you Megan 💕🌹
