Host was friendly and easy to communicate with. The house is in a quiet, peaceful location, tucked away from the main road. Perfect size and layout for our family of four, with 2 dogs. Everything was clean and well appointed. The National Park is a close drive, although it's about 45-60 mins to get to any of the attractions, as we expected. We spent one day at Sequoia, and one day at Kings Canyon (Kings Canyon is a little bit farther of a drive but well worth it). Both parks are spectacular.
