Exeter is a city in Tulare County, California, United States. It is situated in the San Joaquin Valley near the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains and entrance to the Sequoia National Park. Exeter is located on State Highway 65, 2 miles south of Highway 198 and 15 miles east of Highway 99.

Other things to note: it is a private drive, 1/4 mile from city limits. We live next door and it's a very quiet neighborhood. It's great for stargazing.

The owner is a school nurse and husband is a contractor, both retirement age but still working. We have had traveling nurses and other professionals for five years now. We also have a sweet beagle named Molly. She might pop in if your door is open. A pet may be allowed just contact the owner to discuss it.

LOVED our stay!!

We stayed from July 1 - 4 and absolutely loved our stay! Rhonda was so welcoming, helpful, and friendly! It was the perfect space for us and our two boys! It's such a peaceful, quiet area and close to a cute downtown. We came for a long weekend and wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks so much Rhonda and Joe (and Molly too!)!!

This house was the absolute perfect retreat to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. When I first found out the host lived next door, I was a bit concerned, but I couldn't be more happy with our host Rhonda and the beautiful home she provided for us. It was truly a joy to meet her and to stay In Exeter. From going downtown and getting coffee, to relaxing on the porch looking at the stars, to seeing the beautiful family of vibrant green and yellow and blue parakeets outside the bedroom window I cant say enough beautiful things about this place. It was a wonderful experience, we had to drive 9 hours for a wedding and I wouldn't mind driving this far again just to stay at Rhondas place. Thank you for your hospitality and everything you did for us.

Great location, Lovely host

The unit is great! Great design and decorated beautifully. We had all of the things we needed to make dinners and the grocery store was 5 minutes away. It's a quiet and peaceful spot with the rest of the world not very far away. Sequoia National Park is an easy 40 minute drive away and King's Canyon's entrance is a 90 minute drive. The host is super warm and welcoming! If we find ourselves in this part of the countey again, we'd definitely stay here again.

Cali trip with my grandsons

This rental property was perfect for my grandsons and I. We felt right at home with everything. We throughly enjoyed our stay. The property owner and her precious fur baby Molly greeted us upon arrival and was most helpful with answering our questions before we even asked. Making our way up to Sequoia National Park was a short drive and we want to come back to make our way around King’s Canyon and Yosemite! Thank you for making our stay feel like Home!

Home away from home

Cute little house with everything you could imagine in a house. It truly was a home away from home for us. The Sequoia National park entrance is just about 30 minutes away. The house is very open, neat and clean, and very tastefully decorated. Rhonda has cute inspirational quotes throughout the house. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need. Rhonda was the most welcoming hostess, and went out of her way to make sure our stay was comfortable and we had everything we needed. Their sweet girl Molly made our stay extra special. We were there for a couple nights but definitely want to go back for a longer trip in the future.

National Park Access

We found this property while looking for a home base to access Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Originally we thought this was in Visalia, but it was actually in Exeter. Turned out to be closer and much quieter which is really what we were looking for. My family of four found the property quite comfortable. It is small, but plenty big enough for the four of us and a great spot to make breakfast, prep for the day and then relax after a long day of hiking the parks. Communication with Rhonda was great. Access instructions were clear and prompt and the property was clean, well stocked and ready for us when we arrived. We really enjoyed our stay and would gladly recommend to anyone looking to check out the nearby parks (less than an hour to either).

Super clean, quiet, and relaxing. Great place to recharge while visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Beautiful secluded location. Rhonda was a great host. Communication with the host was very timely and helpful. Very close to modern conveniences and located in Orchard country. Special visits at the bird feeder of lovebirds and our daughter enjoyed visiting the dogs. Highly recommended.
