Description of the Dunlap vacation cabin rental

A unique two bedroom cabin located in Dunlap/Squaw Valley, California, 20 miles from the north entrance to Sequoia and King's Canyon National Park. This stylish new cabin is set in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains on a 160-acre private ranch in a serene and secluded location, two miles from Highway 180. It is perfect for a honeymoon, a relaxing family retreat or an equestrian vacation. The cabin is fully furnished with dishes, pots & pans and linens. The cabin is one mile from the Fresno Field Archery Range and two miles from the local hang glider landing field. Escape the hectic pace of the city and relax in a rustic mountain getaway located at 2000 ft. elevation - above the valley fog and below the winter snow.

Reviews for this vacation cabin rental in Dunlap, California

WOW, April 5, 2008

By Sheleigh Beggs (Houston, Texas)

My 3 friends and I stayed at the ranch the week of Christmas. Wow, what a wonderful vacation! The cabin is very new and stylish. My bed was very comfortable. We'd wakeup in the mornings, have our coffee and watch bobcats and deer walk by the cabin. We took walks on the ranch and were watched by the 15 or so gentle Longhorns. One day we drove one hour to the old town of Visalia to antique and eat some yummy mexican food. Most of the drive was through the orange fields and we saw ripe grapes on the vine. Another day we drove into the National Parks and played in the snow and had dinner at the Lodge up there. We all really loved it, it was the perfect place to stay. Thankyou to the owners, they were so accommodating and really have gone the extra miles to make this a wonderful place to stay. Sheleigh, Houston, Texas

Awesome Retreat!, September 6, 2007

By A renter (San Diego, CA)

What a wonderful retreat from the hectic city life! Lots of open space, fresh air, wild animals, and stars! The accomodations were excellent - very cozy, clean and private. We visited in April of 2007, a great time to catch the last of the snow in King's Canyon and the beautiful spring wild flowers in the surrounding area, including right on the property! We definitely hope to return.

Great Base "Camp", August 22, 2007

By A renter (Hemet, CA USA)

My family had a great time at the Rocky Ridge Ranch. It was a wonderful place to return to after quick day trips to Sequoia and Kings Canyon. The rustic setting really added to our relaxation. All the comforts of home without the chaos of home life!

Been there -- delightful, April 9, 2007

This time last year a friend and I were the first people to stay in this new cabin. All the comforts of home in a beautiful rustic setting. I had not realized how many interesting places there are within a reasonable drive. Delightful hostess.
