My two boys (age 7 and 11) and I used The Schoolhouse as our base of operations for day trips up to Sequoia and King’s Canyon National Parks. The Schoolhouse and Exeter were both wonderful as starting points for those day trips with drive times to the park entrances at around 50 minutes and 1:20 respectively. The Schoolhouse itself was impeccable - beautifully decorated, super clean, and with all the little touches to make it feel like our home away from home. Both beds were comfy, and the kitchen is fully stocked if you want to cook while you’re there. Bonus for the enclosed back yard (so the boys could run around), and the cute little porch where I had a glass of wine and listened to a World Cup match. If we’re ever back this way, I’ll definitely stay at the Schoolhouse if it’s available.
