Fivespot Cabin, Art and Nature Lover's Retreat, 15 Min to Sequoia-Kings Canyon

Quiet, cozy, inspiring, art-filled: Fivespot is a relaxing destination for a week or weekend, perfect for couples or small families. Enjoy the books, the sauna and outdoor shower, the claw-foot bathtub, the fireplace, and lots of cozy pillows and throws.

Stretch out and do something creative! Add something to the chalkboard wall, or stroll to the hilltop behind the cabin and sketch the surrounding foothills. Several painters and writers have already used Fivespot as a personal artistic retreat.

There's comfort and convenience: a covered stone patio, gas bbq, kitchen with all the trimmings, and lots of outdoor space means you can cook and dine inside or out. New in 2024: free Level 1 EV charging from a dedicated outdoor plug.

Year-round comfort and fun at Fivespot:
Summer is the high season in the Sierras, for good reason: the sun shines from June through October. Hiking trails are open, wildlife and wildflowers abound. But we locals enjoy the fall, winter, and spring even more: sun gives way to rain and snow, life quiets down, time to rest and renew. Fivespot is perfect for an off-season retreat. The road to the cabin is kept cleared of snow, and the road into the Parks is accessible if you have 4-wheel drive or chains (we can help you with that). The fireplace and sauna keep you cozy; you've got time to think, write, read, or just relax. It's a delightful time of year - please consider a visit!

Winter activities at and around Fivespot:
Winter is never far from Fivespot: at 4000' elevation, we get at least one substantial storm each year. If you are lucky enough to be here at the perfect moment, you can snowshoe right out the back door. But the cabin is also perfectly situated for near-certain winter adventures - it's just a 15 minute drive to the entrance of Kings Canyon National Park, where sequoias are blanketed in deep snow all winter. And Fivespot is located on a well-maintained state road, so getting here is easy. Snow play, snow shoeing, and cross-country skiing are these Parks' best winter activities.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be close to Big Stump Trail. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cottage.

Perfect cabin for Kings and Sequioa
We adored this cabin. The location to the parks was great and it was so quiet. We loved starting the day on the front porch watching the birds and animals. The owners have thought of EVERYTHING. The large iron clawed tub was amazing at the end of a day of hiking too. Plenty of room for my boyfriend and I, but definitely a lot of room for other people too. I can't speak highly enough of our experience at this property! Definitely follow the instructions of getting groceries before coming up the mountain though. The closest "grocery" is an overpriced mini mart with no fresh options. The included instructions tell you the best places to stop!

It is a very comfortable and relaxing home. A throwback to when life was slower, a quiet and peaceful setting surrounded by the nature of a Mediterranean climate and rural landscape. We enjoyed seeing quail, turkeys, hummingbirds, and woodpeckers from the patio and the fresh flowers on the tables. All the thoughtful touches of the owners,

Charming cabin in the forest!
Communication and instructions excellent from Mahalia. Cabin clean, well-stocked, very cozy and comfortable. Private and quiet. The swamp cooler worked amazingly well to keep things cool. No TV, but decent wifi. Great access to the parks. Thanks for access to washer and dryer! Would definitely stay again.

Cozy well kept up 1 bedroom in the woods. This place was a perfect little 1 bedroom, nice and clean. Very close to the entrance of the Sequoia/Kings Canyon Park. Loved the sauna after a long day hiking, and you can walk to the Pinehurst Lodge restaurant for some great burgers and cheesecake from the house. There were only 2 of us, but it would be great for a family of 4-5 people. Highly recommend.

Everything about this property was beyond expectations. From the friendliness and kindness of the host to the location being so close to King's Canyon and Sequoia National Park, to the adorable field of wildflowers, and cozy, clean, and adorable cabin. The fully functional kitchen, bathroom with clawfoot tub, and sauna were extra perks! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in nature.

What a unique and fun and overall beautiful property. A perfect little house for a small family or couple just trying to get away. The back yard was filled with gorgeous wildflowers and splendid views. The perfect environment to start the day. The house is just a short drive to the National Parks allowing for very easy access to maximize time in those magical areas. The sauna was an added bonus after long days of hiking in the wilderness. Overall this is a very special and amazing place to stay. Would book this place again in a heartbeat.

We stayed here while visiting Kings Canyon & Sequoia -- the property is 15 minutes away from the entrance. We loved the decor of the home -- lots of great art and 2 nice patios. A plus is that the owners are onsite and easily accessible (but they're not intrusive).

Great Sequoia/Kings Canyon retreat!
As advertised property! Family of five w/3 teen girls enjoyed this stay! Very clean and well stocked, thank you. Outdoor shower made getting cleaned up after a day of hiking a quicker process. Enjoyed the covered porch and patio morning and night! Was in the upper 80’s low 90’s and the Swamp Cooler had no problems making it feel great in the cabin!! Much wildlife around the cabin to watch. Would definitely recommend a stay!! Thanks Again!

Perfect Getaway
We were welcomed by Mahalia, she was very pleasant. We had an awesome time celebrating my birthday. The cabin was the perfect getaway. It had everything that we could think of and more. The kitchen also had a refrigerator, microwave and stove. Everywhere we looked had dainty details and books. We woke up to turkey's gobbling and bluejays. We will definitely be coming back soon, next time with the entire family. It was a dream come true

Amazing Family time
If you are looking for family place to stay, Fivespot is for you!!!! Cabin is well taking care of by owners! It’s super clean, well stocked, comfortable and it’s a great location to King Canyon and Sequoia Nationals Parks! It’s in a quiet neighborhood, so you get well rested after day of climbing and hiking! Kids can run around in a huge backyard, climb couple old trees, gather pine cones and just roll in grass!!! There are wild turkeys that come around pretty frequently and kids will have tons of fun watching those! Sauna is amazing and you can relax afterwards on patio! Be aware, location in deep in national park, so there aren’t near by grocery stores or gas stations, so bring everything you’ll need with you, but owners are pretty aware of that and cabin has many things you might haven’t thought about to bring or just forgot! (Like Coffee!) I would recommend this cabin to anyone! Thank you for great Spring Break vacation!

Cozy spot great for small families
We had a great time - family of 4, very young kids. Lots of room outdoors to explore, great views. Our preschooler loved the little toys and art everywhere - kept him busy. Be sure to read all the great instructions from the host about traveling to the area etc. Very few stores and restaurants around but the kitchen and bathroom are very well stocked with items you may have forgotten. Just around the corner from Kings Canyon; some parts of Sequoia park are currently (early 2022) less accessible from this location due to road closures from the KNP fire last year, but everything is still well within a day trip away. Back BBQ area is so nice!

Quiet Stay
The house is a wonderful place to return after a day visiting the park. It is quiet (unlike any park accommodations). It was great to sit outside, watch the hummingbirds, turkeys, and relax. I was a bit concerned about he road out front, but there's little to no traffic. The house is well cared for, and well stocked, including many kitchen condiments (stayed in many houses that didn't even have salt!). I would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Sequoia Park.

Cozy Pinehurst Cabin
We had a wonderful stay at the five spot cabin! The cabin looks even better in person than the pictures.It is close to the Cat Haven and Sequoia Park. We were greeted with fresh cut flowers the day we arrived ! Thank you! Our family had a wonderful stay, and cannot say enough good things about this little cabin. It is quiet. We saw wild turkeys two of the days.The cabin was clean and supplied with all of the essential items including laundry soap, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, some spices,some food items and condiments. There was wood for the fireplace and propane for the grill.The kitchen has all of the basic items for cooking and eating in.The beds are comfortable. There are plenty of warm blankets.The claw foot tub is awesome. We appreciated the owners detailed book about the cabin and where to find the wood, propane for the grill and how to operate the heaters, sofa bed and the hot water for washing. Our 7 year old loved the few toys to play with. I appreciated the safety rail and sturdiness of the bunk bed. There is a high chair and a portable crib for the little ones.One of our favorite places we've gotten to stay for our yearly trip and we would love to stay again! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Fairytale cottage
This cabin packs a lot into a small package! It is nestled into the hillside down a twisty, turny road. The owners are artists so the cabin is full of artistic inspiration. It’s like finding your self in an artist’s pocket to see all the bits and bobs that others would overlook, but artfully arranged, create a collage of color and quirky delight! The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are cozy. The bathroom was also a delight with a restored claw footed tub, shower and 2 sinks. The outdoor patio allowed us to enjoy the breezes and the hummingbirds that frequently stopped by to feed. There is an outdoor shower and an authentic Swedish sauna. At every turn, there was a trinket, a book or artwork to draw you in for a closer look. The Five Spot cabin was one of the most charming, unique places we have ever stayed with VRBO (or other similar sites). Outstanding!!!

Joy in the midst of pandemic
We had a wonderful time at the delightful FiveSpot cabin, and we were able to socially distance visit with other family members who rented the Merrynook cabin next door. There are wonderful outdoor spaces to visit and play piano and explore. Truly a wonderful experience. The proximity to the National Park makes it easy to go in and back for day trip adventures amongst the sequoias. We also so appreciated the art in the cabins and are grateful to have had opportunities to buy some prints to take home for inspiration and remembrances. We are looking forward to going back soon!

We had a wonderful time in Pinehurst. From there we were able to explore Kings Canyon and Lake Hume. We would take our bicycles, park the car and had some absolutely grand days of pedaling. Then to come home to the sauna and all the surprises with the decoration ins the home was delightful. Mahalia was an exceptional proprietor who was available when needed but gave us privacy.
