Great get away spot just outside Sequoia NP
Our two families really enjoyed the property for our short stay. The rental is nestled in a quiet neighborhood where there are wild turkeys, quail other wild life running around. The kitchen and dining area was a good size and accommodated epic meals and game nights.
Bedrooms were cozy and extra blankets were a nice touch. The bunk room was a decent size but the two built in bunks are really meant for very young children under age 10. Always could use more towels given the rental is for up to 9 people.
All in all would highly recommend.

Exactly as promised!
We had such a lovely visit at the Big Dipper. It comfortably slept our crew of 4 adults and 5 kids. The house was exactly as pictured. Beautiful kitchen, great living room with gas fireplace, two spacious bathrooms, and a fenced in backyard with propane fire pit. It was also in the perfect location for visiting Sequoia National Park - a quick 5 minute drive to the Foothills entrance and a 5 minute drive in the opposite direction to the restaurants and shops of Three Rivers. Can’t recommend enough!
