>>MAGICAL property on 5 acres in the Alabama Hills

About this space
Our home is 2 stories with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and sits on 5 acres of undisturbed land. It has stunning 360 degree views from the Eastern Sierras to the west and the Inyo Mountains to the East and is located in the Alabama Hills with huge boulders . Located 6 miles from the town of Lone Pine, 12 miles from Whitney Portal, a short drive to Horseshoe Meadows, Diaz Lake, the Inyo National Forest and surrounding wilderness areas!
The space
"And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul" John Muir

With breathtaking views from every direction and every room, transport your mind, body and spirit to our secluded, yet ideally located, spacious 4 bedroom, 3 bath sanctuary in wondrous Alabama Hills! The house rests among stunning views of the surrounding and infamous Alabama Hills, Eastern Sierras, Mount Whitney and Inyo Mountains.

Our home features well-appointed, comfortable interior spaces and outdoor areas for relaxing and playing on 5 acres of native desert landscape. Outdoor sitting areas around the house provide enchanting views of shifting light on the horizon of rugged mountain lands, and cozy spaces to watch sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and starry night skies.

Perhaps you'd like to prepare a big, leisurely breakfast with your friends and family in our bright, fully-stocked kitchen with stools, lots of counter space, and a high vaulted ceiling, or sip your drink on the deck while gazing at the sunsets over the Eastern Sierra Mountains. Just relax and bask in the quiet serenity. The living room, during the summer, features an inviting, wrap around couch, 55" flat screen tv, and bluetooth sound bar. In the winter, the living room moves into the room with the fireplace. Perhaps one of the most exciting features - our game area offers a great space to entertain with a ping pong table, board games and table to set up with snacks to fuel your fun and keep the competitions going.

The mid century designed master bedroom has a new queen bed with a very comfortable Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam mattress, and private bathroom with brand new tiled shower and double sink. It also features a work space and balcony with awe-inspiring views of the ever changing hues of the Inyo Mountains. It is well worth waking up early to catch the sunrise over the Inyo Mountains or even the sunsets coloring the sky.

The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third bedroom has two twin beds. Both of these rooms share a full bathroom with tub/shower and two sinks.
The second and third bedroom also share a large deck furnished with seating to enjoy the amazing views of the Eastern Sierra mountains or star gaze at night.

The fourth bedroom is downstairs, furnished with a comfortable memory foam queen mattress and detached bathroom with shower. Ideal for the family member that can't do stairs. Once inside the house, it is all one level with easy wheelchair access.

There is also a loft space with a lounge chair to cozy up in solitude with a nice book, listen to music with an old CD collection or just to enjoy the view.

Enjoy the stunning view of Lone Pine Peak and Mount Whitney from our front deck that comes installed with a refreshing mist sprayer extending all the way around the deck to cool you off after a day in the sun! Also enjoy the fire pit in the evening.

The back deck has a bbq, picnic table for dining and Adirondack chairs surrounding a second fire pit. This deck has views of the Inyo Mountains and the large boulder formations of the Alabama hills located on our property!

We provide you with all linens, towels, and many bathroom amenities you may need during your stay, and if there is something else you need, please let us know ahead of time and we will do our best to accommodate you! Guests are able to use the washer and dryer in the laundry room as well.

Tap into your adventurous spirit and choose from countless wilderness excursions within just minutes of our home - whether it's exploring the uniquely breathtaking Alabama Hills, hiking in the Sierra high country to swim in pristine alpine lakes, summiting Mount Whitney, or simply setting off on dozens of nearby hiking/walking trails - the choice is yours!

We really think you will love our comfortable, beautifully inspired home nestled amongst some of California's most stunning wilderness and natural resources as much as we do, and we are excited for you to see for yourself!

Thank you for considering us for your stay, and we look forward to hosting you!

Another Great Stay
We stayed here last year after Christmas and loved it so much we decided to do it again this year. It was another amazing stay. It is a perfect fit for our two families of four (4 adults, and 4 teenagers). The house is in a great area that is quiet and about 10 minutes away from Lone Pine. The views are spectacular (especially for winter) and its a great jumping off spot for exploring the Owens Valley. The property is huge (5 acres!) and great for exploring, the teens rode bikes all over the property and neighborhood. Having the ping pong table is great (yearly ping pong tournament!) and cocktails and games in the living room,warmed by the wood stove. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen has everything you may need, even a separate ice maker on the counter! The host is quick to respond to communications and was very helpful when our son left his iPad there. She arranged the return with minimal fuss and cost.There really are no cons except maybe the stereo, which we could never figure out so we couldn't enjoy the massive CD collection, but honestly I chalk that up to user error (perhaps an instruction sheet for dummies like us) lol. Overall a fantastic place that we will definitely be using again.

Wonderful home and location!
My multigenerational family loved our stay here! The grandparents stayed on the first fl to avoid the stairs and our family was very comfortable on the 2nd fl. The property was amazing and we enjoyed our breakfast around the heated tables. Ping pong and hikes kept the kids busy. Communication with owner was great. Highly recommend.

" Be Careful on the stairs "
It was just fine except for the constant threat of a fall while using the stairs . How you can not put up a handrail is hard to understand , We noticed when we first walked in as we are 6 brothers aged 65 to 80 and therefore we would call out to each other upon approaching the stairs to " Be careful on the stairs ". We would probably not use your home again until we see photographic evidence that they have been installed .Otherwise we were completely satisfied with your home , Thanks , Tom

Enjoying the Alabama Hills
A great location to explore Mount Whitney or Death Valley National Park! The house was wonderful and the location was amazing in the Alabama Hills. Close to Lone Pine for everything you need, but also away from it all in the mountains with views in every direction.

A great facility
Very clean, modern, and well equipped. All the furnishings were new or in near new condition. We have no complaints and enjoyed our stay. My only suggestion is I would like you to install a handrail on the staircase for safety.

Great Stay!
The views from the house are absolutely stunning! The fire places in both the front and back of the house were a wonderful addition to allow us to enjoy the views in the cold weather. It was close proximity to town, and a great starting point for our jeeping adventures. There was plenty of space for the kids to run around, and the bedroom downstairs was perfect for grandpa to get away from the grandkids at night. The kitchen was very well stocked and there were games and puzzles for entertainment in addition to the ping pong table. The beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future!

Amazing House and Location
We had such a great time at this home. The views from every window are beautiful and there was plenty of space for all of us to enjoy ourselves (4 adults, 4 children). I loved the decor (I'm a big MCM fan!) and the home was clean and well-appointed. We will definitely be back, as we travel up to the Sierras frequently. Thank you for having such a great home available - we can't wait to return!
