Things to Do:
The Alta Sierra community is around 6,000 ft elevation with beautiful large Sequoia trees surrounding the neighborhood. The area has cool summer days and snow during the winter. This cabin is nestled in the Sequoia National Forest and is centrally located. Activities all around—3 mi. from Alta Sierra Ski Resort, 7 mi. from Kernville, 8 mi. from Lake Isabella, 7 mi. from water rafting, and a few miles from hiking/biking trails or Off-Highway Vehicle trails! Cool summer days and snow in the white winter. The cabin offers a beautiful indoor fireplace, central heating, many beds, 3 TVs, fully equipped kitchen, dining room and living room.
Winter time - enjoy the ski resort or tubing in the snow. The property will have lots of snow to play in during the winter (as Mother Nature permits!) During the winter, four wheel drive and chains are required to pull into the driveway and sometimes to get to the ski resort. Our cabin road is plowed daily, however the driveway is steep for normal vehicles.
Warmer days - Kernville offers tube-floating down the river, a large park with basketball courts, adoring local antique shops, and lots of dining. Or cruise to Lake Isabella where they offer water rentals at French Gulch Marina. Find yourself wanting a bit of excitement, enjoy water rafting at Kern River Outfitters.
Anytime - enjoy hiking and biking trails, Unal and Whiskey Flats are a few of our favorites.
The area also offers off-highway trails for dirts bikes, quads and more at Cyrus Canyon OHV Park and Bull Run OHV.

Things to Note:
** The French Fire was contained September 2021. There is no damage near our cabin, surrounding cabins, the Alta Sierra community, Lake Isabella, or Kernville. Firefighters did an amazing job protecting all the communities!
**Upstairs room: At this time, the loft ladder to the 2nd level can NOT be put away or made inaccessible. If you have small children or pets, please ensure safety gate is placed around ladder. Safety gate it located behind the living room sofa.
**Forest animals: you will likely see deer every day from the windows/deck. They travel in packs and are very timid, most will run when the hear/see anything. There are also lots of birds (see our bird book!), squirrels, chipmunks, and lots of other smaller, harmless animals. However, we have heard of neighbors encountering bob cats and less so, bears. Please use caution while outdoors/strolling in the neighborhood, especially when with small children and/or pets.
**Trash can: located on the south side of the road (it is the only trash can visible from the cabin/driveway). Trash services only drive East on the road so the trash can must stay on the opposite side of the road. Trash services are on Wednesday mornings.
** WiFi: high speed cable internet is not offered in the Alta Sierra community or surrounding area. The best and fastest internet option is Verizon HotSpot, which is available for your use during your stay . For best streaming, we recommend Netflix (Netflix is available on all TVs for our guests).
You and your guests will have cellular reception and internet connection at this cabin. However, if you plan to explore the Alta Sierra neighborhood and surrounding areas, there are many “dead zones” that have limited or no internet connection or cellular reception. Prep with directions prior to exploring.
