About Sulfiati and Sharif Harris
Mr. and Mrs. Harris live next door to the cabin. Mr. Harris is a retired realtor, and Mrs. Harris runs the after school program at the local K-8 school. In the summer she runs Camp Badger (see http://www.campbadger.com) . We moved to this area about 14 years ago and love the quiet, small country town atmosphere. We can tell you what places to go up in the parks and around in this area, and will be easily available to respond to any needs you might have. Our daughter and family recently lived in this cabin. It has just been completely remodeled, with all new floors (kid friendly vinyl plank that looks like wood), new bathroom fixtures, etc. The cabin was built in 1938 and is authentic, with redwood shake siding, unfinished tree trunks supporting the porch, old-fashioned glass doorknobs, and lots of pine paneling.
Sulfiati and Sharif Harris purchased this Cabin in 2013
Why Sulfiati and Sharif Harris chose Pinehurst
Staying in this cabin is like going back to a simpler time. It is decorated in a way that is authentic to an old-time cabin in the mountains. Even the china, glasses and kitchen tools are authentic to an earlier era. You will know you are in the mountains of California.....not in a standard motel that could be anywhere.
What makes this Cabin unique
The large,cool front porch is a great place to relax and listen to the frogs at night, also wonderful for soaking up kid energy with the ping pong table and darts. We have a collection of board games in the cabin, and also a large monitor with a dvd player and a modest collection of dvd's the family will enjoy.

Sweet Cabin near Sequoia/Kings Canyon
4/5 Stayed Jun 2018
Melissa C.
Cabin is beautifully located in a country setting. We enjoyed watching all of the different birds each day and the peace and quiet. It was perfect for a family stay with lots of room and games to play with the needed amenities for cooking your own meals. Location was great for exploring Sequoia and Kings Canyon each day.

Peaceful Sequoia cabin

My mother and I stayed in the cabin for 2 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. A very cosy and peaceful cabin; well-equipped with many details that add to its charm. Getting up, sitting in from of the cabin with a cup of tee, watching the hummingbirds and the morning light...a hike in close-by Sequoia...relaxing after the hike on the porch. Also, there's a super nice, no-frills bar a short distance up the road. Thank you, Sulfiati and Sharif, for this experience!!

The house was just what was needed for five guys exploring the beautiful near by national parks. So very quaint and peaceful. Completely reenergized us for the second leg of our adventure. The hosts lived right next door and were one of the kindest couples I've met. (Completely non-intrusive) They even had Mrs. Doubtfire & The princess bride available to watch. Oh! And they even offered to wash our clothes... did I mention they were kind? A truly magical experience. Definitely recommend for those who need to rest either in the middle or at the end of a week long hike!

This is a great choice if you want a authentic mountain cabin (built in the 30s). The property owners are very kind and helpful. They live in their house next door, but are not intrusive in any way. The kids enjoyed ping pong, darts, and hammock. Driving up to this cabin is part of the adventure (very scenic). We found a two night stay gave us one day to explore Kings Canyon and one day to explore Sequoia. The cabin is a 25 min drive from the parks (much shorter than most hotels).
There is plenty of bed space and sleeping options. There are multiple heating units for cold nights. It has a fridge, stove, micro, dishes, and pots.
This is an "old" style cabin, not a luxury vacation-style cabin, but our family felt the old shingled home was very fitting for a trip into the mountains.

Location
Pinehurst, CA, USA
Our cabin is 20 minutes from the north entrance to Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks, an hour east of Fresno, California. We have a map with great places to go in the parks in the photo gallery on our listing. The Grants Grove visitor center is in the parks about 10 minutes from the entrance. They have a restaurant, museum, general store and post office, and it is a short drive to the General Grant tree.
If you go further up that road, which is a continuation of Hwy 180 you will drive along the canyon and eventually descend the canyon and drive along the Kings River. You will go by Boyden Caverns, where you can stop and take a 40 minute tour. There is a gift shop, and then a climb up into the entrance.
Continue up Hwy 180 and you will come to Grizzly Falls, just off the road on the left. A very tall waterfall with a picnic area and restrooms...a great place to stop for a break. There is another visitor's center, Cedar Grove, after that off the road on the left.
Continue on about 10 miles and you will come to a favorite place, Zumwaldt Meadows. Park in the lot (there are restrooms there), and then walk along the river to the right and you will come to a bridge across the river and a wonderful rocky beach where you can wade and swim in the river. There is a loop trail which takes you through a meadow, and around and up along the rocks, and back to the beach.
Back down at the entrance to the Parks: If you turn right at the entrance to the Parks you will go down to Sequoia National Parks. This will lead you first to the back entrance to Hume Lake beach, great for swimming in the summer, and then to the trailheads for various hikes. Further down you will go by the General Sherman Tree, and then to Lodgepole Visitor Center, which has a museum, large shop, and restaurant, and is adjacent to the trailhead to Tokopah Falls. Past this is the road to Moro Rock and then to Crystal Cave. Further along you will eventually come out into the town of Three Rivers.
