great property for family with kids at perfect location

Property is situated at a very convenient location (within 15 mins drive to the Sequoia national park south entrance and close to shops, restaurants. Cottage is beautiful and well maintained. It has nice outdoor space for kids to play and have fun. You also get a private river beach access which is across the street and it was perfect place for kids to have fun at water and for us relax in the evening. Communication from Mars was prompt and provided all the necessary tips which were useful for smooth check-in and hassle free stay.

Charming property

Easy to find with the provided instructions and check in was easy. Communication before and during the stay was helpful. Birdwatch Cottage is very charming and better than the pictures. Grounds are well maintained and a great place to relax between adventures. Rafting company is right across the street and restaurants are nearby. Private beach access at the property down the street is a nice place to swim. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else when visiting the south entrance to Sequoia/ Kings Canyon.
