*Voted BEST Place to Stay near Sequoia Nat'l Park by Condé Nast Traveler Magazine 2022 + 2023* Prepare to be WOWed by this welcoming mid century-sanctuary. A very private & peaceful estate, designed for your perfect getaway. You'll be overwhelmed by the environment of nature that surrounds you -- ancient oak trees, mountain views, & a private swimming pool carved into the natural rock. Conveniently located close to town, yet private, this is a home that has your style & comfort in mind. One-of-a-kind Mid-Century Artist's Home Built and designed in 1966 by Myron S. Whitson (metalworker + artist), this memorable space will transport you into a more simple time of life. Imagine tones of Frank Sinatra and John Muir, with a dash of Japanese minimalism. All of your comforts are top of mind. This is an ideal resting place following a thrilling day of adventure or to simply relax and unwind with an undeniable focus on mid-century indoor/outdoor living. In the summer, dip beneath the water in your private pool while overlooking the canyon. At nighttime, stargaze in the swing chairs and sip something delicious. In the winter, cuddle up beside the fireplace and enjoy the calm, crisp mountain air. Unplug and recharge surrounded by nature. The property has an expansive feel as it overlooks the grand Kaweah Valley. The entrance to Sequoia Nat'l Park is 15 minutes away. The ENTIRE house, pool, and yard - it is all yours to enjoy. We don't live on the property, and there are no other cabins or houses on the property. Insider Tip: Many of our guests who book for just 2 or 3 nights request to stay longer. Many times they make the extension request too late, so if you're on the fence about staying another night, it may be a good idea to go ahead and book now (if your dates are available:). Please note NO ANIMALS of any kind are allowed. The property is allergy-free due to owners' family being extremely allergic to animal hair and dander. Young (mobile) children age 1-5 are not recommended due the proximity of the unfenced pool. Please supervise children of all ages (1-17) very closely. During your stay, you will have the direct contact info of our local co-hosts. There will be a user-friendly keypad to enter the home. We like to give guests their space, and we're one call away if you need us. You have access to nature and can experience a bit of peace and serenity during your stay. You may park in the carport or in the extra driveway behind the pool. TRAVEL INSURANCE: During booking, be sure to select the optional Airbnb travel insurance. In the event that a travel disruption occurs (weather, illness, etc.), we ask that you are covered as we don't issue refunds outside of our cancellation policy. THE POOL: The pool provides a relaxing ambiance all year round. Save time to enjoy a perfect poolside sanctuary in summer and winter months while stargazing under a canopy of ancient oaks. Please note that the pool is not heated, shallow in sections, there is no lifeguard at the pool, and you can swim at your own risk. It is very comfortable for swimming July - early September. Be safe and enjoy the experience. THE PROPERTY: While the property is very private, it is located in a neighborhood. Please note that it is not fenced and is surrounded by open land. LOCATION: We are less than 5 minutes from the amenities in Three Rivers, so it will be easy to pick up your sandwiches, coffees, and snacks on the way up the mountain, or wherever your adventures take you.
