Memorial Day Trip to Kings Canyon and Sequoia
Maggie, the host, was super helpful when we found ourselves in Fresno earlier than we thought. And there is not a lot to do in Fresno. The house is cute, the view is pretty spectacular. It is literally on top of a foothill/mountain so getting up and down takes a little time (especially if heights scare you a bit :). My only complaint about the house is there is no dishwasher and my teenagers are not effective when washing dishes so I was redoing all their dishes, I did miss a dishwasher. And that area is a restaurant desert, so think about food and what you want to cook before you get there. We ate in Kings Canyon and it was mediocre at best but we were hungry and tired so no one complained but looking back I wish I would have known that there were just no good restaurant options within a 30-45 minutes drive from there (except a pizza place 20-25 minutes away). But we had a great time exploring the area and Kings Canyon and Sequoia did not disappoint!

Beautiful view, much wildlife
We were there for 11 days in early May, the weather was about 10 degrees cooler than Fresno for our entire stay (about an hour away). It's close (1-2 hours if you take the north vs south route) to the Sequoia parks/forest, and there's a big cat sanctuary a few miles up the road. The house itself is pretty simple, but did have basic essentials (oil, condiments, several seasonings, popcorn, granola bars, coffee, tea)- enough to get you started on day 1. The kitchen also had a good supply of pots, pans, mixing bowls, etc, if you intend to eat some meals at home like we did. The house also had body wash, shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap, lotion, kitchen soap, etc. There was a hearty supply of towels, and the hosts offered to refresh them due to our long length of stay, but we didn't even go through them all (although, to be fair, we are a family who reuses the same bath towels a couple times). There was a nice wood stove, and the essentials needed to get a fire started, we made smores on one of the coldest nights. The land itself, it's gorgeous, with near 360 mountain views, the only place that's blocked is where the host lives, slightly higher up on the mountain. We saw all kinds of creatures on the property- quail, little lizards, bunnies, many other flying birds, owls; the owners also said foxes and bobcats sometimes. The 4yo loved it. The hosts were very responsive, were able to suggest good local places to eat, but were also respectful of our privacy.

This was our first VRBO stay, and we would do it again. Check in was easy, the house was very homey and we slept extremely well something that usually does not happen at hotels.

Away From The Crowds
We were looking for a place that would be a good jump off point for the national parks nearby. This cozy place was perfect - quiet, bucolic and full of thoughtful little goodies. The hosts were great communicators. We will stay here again when we revisit the area.
