Sequoia Sanctuary•Hot Tub•Private Hilltop Escape

Perched on a quiet hilltop above the Kaweah River Valley, Sequoia Sanctuary is a private, peaceful retreat just 10 minutes from Sequoia National Park.

Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the mountains, while listening to the river roar. Spend your days exploring the park, and unwind in the hot tub under the stars.

Designed for guests who value calm, quiet, comfort, and a truly clean space, this is where you come to reset between adventures.

What is Sequoia Sanctuary?
A Private, Design-Forward Basecamp Near Sequoia National Park.

Perched above the Kaweah River Valley, this quiet hilltop retreat was created for travellers who value cleanliness, privacy, and thoughtful design.

It’s a place to reset between hikes, wake up to silence, and return to a space that feels intentionally maintained.

Best suited for quiet stays and guests who enjoy a calm, low-key environment

Cleanliness Standard
This is a shoeless home. We maintain a consistently clean, allergen-conscious environment using:

Professional cleaning + steam sanitation
Mattress encasements and protected bedding
Minimal clutter

If you’re used to removing shoes at home, you’ll feel very comfortable here.

Hot Tub Access
May 1 – August 30: Hot tub access is included with all reservations.

1 September – April 30: Hot tub not offered

Designed for Multi-Day Exploration (3–4 Nights Recommended)
Many guests underestimate how much there is to see beyond the main entrance.

We provide:
A fully curated digital map with routes, hidden spots, and timing strategies

Suggested 3–4 day itineraries (Sequoia + Kings Canyon + Mineral King)

This makes Sequoia Sanctuary an ideal base for travellers and planners who prefer structure without stress.

International Travellers
Many of our guests visit from abroad and use Sequoia Sanctuary as a base for exploring Sequoia and Kings Canyon over several days.

We provide a fully curated digital map with routes, timing strategies, and key stops so you can navigate the park efficiently without guesswork.

A Note on Value
Sequoia Sanctuary is intentionally designed for guests who value a clean, private, and thoughtfully maintained space after long days exploring the park.

Rather than maximising occupancy, we focus on providing a consistent, well-cared-for environment. Something many guests find makes a meaningful difference in how restorative their stay feels.

Crystal Cave has reopened after a 4-year closure. Tickets sell out fast (we provide booking info + insider tips after you reserve).

Why Spring & Autumn Are the Best Times to Visit
These are our favourite seasons!! And when experienced travellers tend to visit:

Spring
Waterfalls at peak flow
Wildflowers + wildlife
Ideal white water rafting conditions

Autumn
Crisp air, golden light
Fewer crowds, better access
Perfect hiking temperatures

If you prefer space, calm, and optimal conditions, these seasons consistently outperform summer.

8/10 Good

Liked: Location
The location was great and the hosts were super communicative. There was definitely room for our family. There was a lot of redwood finishes in the house that the hosts were very particular about maintaining. I completely understand, but would not recommend if you have small children as you might not feel as relaxed while there.

Private quiet property off a private road in the wilderness. Heard coyotes howling at night, experienced spiders, even a scorpion, and beautiful birds...different experience for this city girl. 20 minutes without traffic to Sequoia entrance. 1 hr with traffic. Enjoyed Three Rivers brewery and Pizza Factory but know that everything shuts down by 10pm. The house was clean. Linens and towels were nice. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Warm water from the only shower takes time. Hot tub was clean and hot, once it warmed up. The coffee bar was the best! So fun to try different methods including French press. Coffee beans and espresso pods provided.
