WELCOME to Our Farm and Orchard Getaway!
This spacious country home gives your family room to breathe, play, and truly relax without giving up the comforts and conveniences of town. Groceries can be delivered via Instacart, meals from nearby Visalia or Woodlake restaurants via Grubhub/Doordash, and you'll have both reliable Wi-Fi and strong cell signal to keep you connected during your stay.
Set on a private orchard between Sequoia & Kings Canyon, it’s your base for exploring two national parks in one trip. Enjoy a private lap pool with an expansive shallow area perfect for kids, open living spaces, and thoughtful touches throughout. From hardwood floors and classic oak cabinets to cozy cotton bedding, every detail is designed for comfort and connection.
LOCATION
Guests with two-day park itineraries will find our location the perfect home base especially in summer (June-September), when the South Entrance & vicinity via Highway 198 can face intermittent wildfire closures and power shutoffs. The parks can often be accessed instead through the North Entrance to Kings Canyon via Highway 180, offering a scenic and reliable alternative.
10 minutes to Exeter, Woodlake, and Farmersville for dining and takeout
15 minutes to downtown Visalia
17 minutes to Visalia Municipal Airport (VIS)
55 minutes to Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT)
10 minutes to Woodlake Botanical Gardens, featuring seasonal blooms and peaceful walking paths
8 minutes to Kaweah Oaks Preserve, a favorite for birdwatching and sunset photography through one of the last remaining valley oak riparian forests in the San Joaquin Valley
A proximity map is included in the photos to help you plan your travel.
DRIVE TO THE SEQUOIAS (SOUTH ENTRANCE)
CA-216 winds through the orchards nearby, a scenic two lane highway surrounded by farmland and citrus. In about 15 minutes, you'll reach CA-198 bypassing the city traffic of Visalia, Farmersville and Exeter. As you climb, you’ll drive around Lake Kaweah with amazing views and plenty of spots to stop for photos with the beautiful lake in the background winding through the Sierras. The road gets windy above the town of Three Rivers once you enter the Sequoia park.
Total drive time to south entrance 40 mins approximately.
Total drive time to General Sherman Tree 1.5 hrs approximately.
DRIVE TO KINGS CANYON (NORTH ENTRANCE)
Our favorite side! Start your park adventure with a drive to the north entrance via Highway 180- a scenic, easy route that’s less windy and less crowded than the southern approach. It’s a great option for a relaxed first day, especially if you’re looking to avoid the busier areas of the park.
You’ll pass through the rustic California countryside with rolling hills, old barns, citrus and olive groves and views of the San Joaquin Valley especially beautiful during sunset on your way back
This entrance leads to the awe-inspiring General Grant Tree, a living National Shrine honoring fallen soldiers, and to the dramatic canyon overlooks that make Kings Canyon so unforgettable.
The north entrance makes for an ideal Day 1 itinerary, leaving Day 2 open to explore the iconic General Sherman Tree and the Giant Forest via the southern route (or the other way round!).
Total drive time to the General Grant Tree - 1.5 hrs approximately.
