Quail Bell Cottage, near Yosemite & Kings Canyon.

This is a free-standing home built specifically as a vacation rental cottage in early 2020. It is a quiet, comfortable space in a rural setting with a private patio and views of the Sierra foothills. It is a perfect spot for a family or couple wanting to visit the National Parks nearby (80 min. to Yosemite, 120+ to Sequoia and Kings Canyon). That being said, please read further to learn why there are so many photos of rattlesnakes in my listing. All good things come with inherent challenges...

A charming cottage exterior is framed by lush trees, featuring a covered porch with a seating area. Light wood siding contrasts with the building's blue roof. The surrounding landscape includes gravel pathways and natural vegetation, contributing to the serene atmosphere of the setting.
