The house certainly did not disappoint with the views! While it was under extreme heat advisory during our stay, we were unable to enjoy the outdoor balcony, however, the inside was cool with wonderful AC and we cooked dinner all 3 nights. Overall, a great trip. While it is a log cabin we had unexpected visitors (4 bats) that came out at night during our stay. They were all very small, and luckily one of our friends were able to release them safely outside. However, that was something I never knew was an option nearby, and when I told the Scott he said that it was pretty normal in the area since the bats help with the mosquitoes. I only write this out so others who may have kids or a fear of bats should be warned for the potential encounter. It certainly soured the mood at night for hanging and playing games in the living room. They came out around 830-9p right after sunset. The shower upstairs didn't stay hot, but I think that is normal again for a log cabin. The down stairs primary bathroom was your best bet for a good shower! All the rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. I would come back in the fall to enjoy the white water rafting and hikes in Sequoia National!
