10-min drive to Sequoia National Park

This home is near the national park.
Built in 1946 for park ranger Sam Pusateri, this historic cedar cabin carries the timeless soul of someone who chose to live close to the land. Tucked into a lush microforest in the Sierra foothills, just minutes from Sequoia National Park.

Red Bud Studio is a place where rustic history meets modern comfort, and where the art of slowing down comes naturally.

Rooted in Ancient Land
For thousands of years, this valley was home to the Native Yokuts and early settlers, drawn to the abundant mountain and river resources and the nearby Kaweah River.

Reimagined through a wabi-sabi lens, the cabin honors simplicity and natural imperfection.

Guest access
The property spans 6 wild acres — a thoughtfully designed micro-resort of three handcrafted cabins, each with its own private entrance, distinct personality, and outdoor spaces.

Your cedar-shingled cabin has its own private yard and outdoor meditation spaces, offering seclusion while sharing the beauty of this extraordinary land. One neighboring cabin is nearby, but once you settle in, the pace slows and the outside world fades away.

We enjoy a microclimate here — tucked beneath the foothills and shaded by a mature canopy — making it feel deeply secluded while still just minutes from town.

Ideal for a cozy retreat, the cabin comfortably accommodates 2 guests.

Other things to note
*~NO PETS~*
Pet Policy: For the comfort and safety of all guests, no animals of any kind are allowed. The property is strictly allergy-free due to severe staff allergies. A $300 fee plus additional cleaning costs will apply if this policy is violated. We 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. The cabin is basically surrounded by a mini forest. Wildlife is part of what makes this place so special. We look forward to welcoming you to the experience.

~ EXTRAS/ GROCERIES~
The bed and pillows are feather-free. 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 National Park’s Ash Mountain entrance is 10–15 minutes away. The Giant Forest and General Sherman Tree are approximately 55 minutes from the cabin.

~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.

~ THE WATER GARDEN ~
Discover the Water Garden on the property—an oasis designed for quiet enjoyment and relaxation. Guests are welcome to wade in and dip their feet in the shallow waters. For safety, this area is not intended for deep swimming or diving.
