Photos and Description of the Pinehurst vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms + Bunk Area, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

This house is located at a 4000 foot elevation in the mountains near Kings Canyon National Park and borders the Giant Sequoia National Monument. This is a ridgetop location on 10 acres with hiking, fishing, boating, and horseback riding close by. The uniqueness lies in the mountain views, many black oak and manzanita trees, and dark night skies. If you seek privacy and comfort in the midst of an oak woodland landscape, this is the place for you.

Spring has arrived on the mountain--blooming flowers, bird watching, wildlife sightings! After a day of playing at the Park/Forest come back to soak in the hot tub and relax. Many walks and hiking opportunities are available on the property or nearby.

About The Owner

About us... Cindy and Dan Duriscoe, the owners of the property, want your stay to be as enjoyable as possible. We are former employees of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and we want to share our knowledge with you. We purchased the property in 1997 and lived here almost 10 years. We know the land, and we did most of the work on the property ourselves. We are constantly making improvements as time allows, and we welcome suggestions. Do not hesitate to inquire about the parks, the monument, and other attractions in the area. We know that this piece of land offers something special at all seasons (Dan's favorite is actually winter). We have watched the land and sky from here, and the peacefulness of the location is unmatched. Both of us enjoy hiking, backpacking, X-country skiing in the Sierra. Cindy loves horseback riding and snowshoeing on nearby trails.

The Owner purchased this house in 1997
Why The Owner chose Pinehurst

This part of California is known for its mild climate, calm winds and stable air most of the time (which makes for wonderful observations of the night sky through a telescope), fall colors of the black oaks (some seasons are more intense than others), and the elevational gradient that allows quick access to a variety of life zones. We think this location is ideally located for access to the high country and foothills, and gives a taste of both. The peace and quiet, walking among our own manzanita woodlands cannot be experienced elsewhere.

What makes this house unique

Taking walks on the property and neighboring monument lands. Watching the sunset while enjoying a glass of wine. Observing the night sky or a sunrise from the hot tub. Mountain biking or horseback riding on nearby trails. The community of people is very friendly and helpful when work needs to be done. Wintertime can be very peaceful and majestic walking roads and trails, making wildlife observations, just plain having fun in the snow!

Great getaway with a spectacular mountain view.

It is quite the drive to this location from Fresno given the change in elevation, but well worth the white knuckles on the steering wheel. And, somehow, by the end of our stay, we got used to all the hairpin turns and steep side drop-offs on the roads in and around this area. The outside of the house is fairly nondescript as shown in the photos, but the inside was quite nice with a view of the Sierras south that is simply stunning and breathtaking. I think that was the biggest pleasant surprise from the listing ... the view is beautiful and hard to describe. Inside, the house was very clean and well maintained and there were several nice amenities including a hot tub, washer and dryer and very nice kitchen area. I can't think of anything we might have wanted for.

Would have appreciated having doors for privacy and noise control on the second and third bedrooms, but that wouldn't stop us from returning or recommending it to others.

And you couldn't ask for a more convenient location for staying close to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.

Great place to return to and relax at the end of the day.

Thanks go to Cindy, Dan and Kimberli.

Wow! This is an amazing place. Far from the maddening crowds. No cellphone, no cable TV, no internet. But, everything else you need is here. Close enough to Sequoia and Kings Canyon for day hikes. If you want to get away from it all, this is your place. Wonderful accomodations. Amazing views. Hot tub was great. Our dog loved exploring the area too.

Great place-very private, clean, with incredible views. Hot tub with standard amenities. Only drawback is the steep windy road to get there. Would definitely recommend. We saw deer, fox and a mountain lion while sititing on front porch.

I would recommend this place for anyone who enjoys nature, peacefulness and the possibility of so many visits to King's Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. The house is in great condition with every necessary thing, lots of space and a wonderful hot tub. I wish we could have stayed longer.
