The space
*Now with EV Charger!*
✨ Allergy-Free Space - No animals of any kind are permitted
On March 30, 1946, Sam and Juanita Pusateri made this homestead cabin their own. Sam, a devoted botanist, scientist, and conservationist, worked as a Park Ranger for Sequoia National Park.
This land served as their hidden paradise, where they dedicated their lives to a harmonious existence, living off the land and cultivating dreams.
This was their original residence on the property before building two additional cabins and planting a botanical wonderland that would eventually surround them.
The cabin presents itself as an inviting 580 sq ft open studio, adorned with expansive picture windows, a fully equipped kitchen, a luxurious King-sized bed, and a comfortable bathroom complete with a soaking tub, indoor shower, and an outdoor shower, providing an immersive experience.
We are on ancient land here. For thousands of years, the Native Yokuts and early migrants settled due to the abundant valley and mountain resources and the close proximity to the Kaweah River.
This experience is for those who seek something truly unique and crave a deep connection with nature while appreciating a rustic and relaxed atmosphere.
This cabin was reimagined around the healing and simple pleasures of Wabi-sabi, described as 'one of appreciating beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete in nature.' We hope Sam and Juanita would be proud of what the cabin has become, and we strive to honor history and maintain its vintage and authentic charm.
Guest access
The property is situated on 6 wild acres. The driveway leads you directly to the entrance of your cedar-shingled cabin.
There are a total of 3 thoughtfully curated cabins on the property- all located within a tranquil, park-like sanctuary, cradled by the surrounding foothills.
Your cabin is private, with its own entrance, yard, and meditation areas.
Ideal for a cozy retreat, the cabin is the perfect place to enjoy while visiting Sequoia National Park and comfortably accommodates 2 guests.
This land is unlike any other in Three Rivers. We enjoy a microclimate due to being tucked away under the foothills and shaded by a canopy of lush plant life.

Other things to note
Other things to note
*~NO PETS~*
Pet Policy: For the comfort and safety of all our guests, NO ANIMALS, including service animals, of any kind are allowed. The property is allergy-free due to staff members with severe allergies to animal hair and dander. This poses a significant health risk, so we are unable to make exceptions. A $300 fee, plus any additional cleaning costs, will apply if an animal is found on the property. We sincerely appreciate your understanding.
~EXPERIENCE~
This is a wild place, yet only a few minutes from town. Wildlife passes through, and you may encounter anything from quail, wild turkey, horses, deer, lizards, snakes, squirrels, other woodland critters, even Black Bear. Please keep in mind that we do not issue refunds because of the natural habitat. It is what makes the place so special. The cabin is basically surrounded by a mini forest. We want you to have the most memorable experience possible, enjoy. *:)
~ EXTRAS/ GROCERIES~
Fresh linen & bath towels are provided. The bed and pillows are feather-free. Coffee and tea will be at your disposal for breakfast. We stock a basic pantry due to our remote nature, which includes ground and Whole Coffee Beans, Herbal Artisan Teas, Salt, Pepper & Olive Oil.
Guests find it hard to leave once they arrive, so we recommend grocery shopping in Visalia (SAVE MART is cost effective) or at the local Village Market (just in town) before you arrive.
~THE NAT'L PARKS~
Sequoia Nat'l Park Ash Mountain entrance is 10-15 minutes away. We are only 55 minutes away from the Giant Forest and General Sherman Tree.
~CLEANING AND INSURANCE~
It is essential for our guests to have travel insurance. We don't issue refunds outside of our policy due to usually being fully booked — and recommend you contact your insurer to assist with the cost of disrupted travel arrangements.
~THE WATER GARDEN ~
Discover the Water Garden on the property—an oasis crafted for your enjoyment, providing a serene atmosphere. Feel free to immerse your feet in its tranquil waters. However, please note that it is not suitable for swimming or diving, as it remains shallow for a peaceful experience.
