Sip your morning coffee or evening beverage on the deck with endless forest views. Good for the soul, this is the perfect sanctuary for a restorative retreat! Great for a family vacation, writer's retreat, girls trip or couples weekend!

with Forest backyard!

The main floor of the cabin has an open concept living room, dining area and full kitchen. Also on the main floor is a full bathroom and 2 bedrooms. One of the main floor bedrooms has a queen bed and one has 2 twin beds.

Upstairs there is an open reading loft which overlooks the living room with a cozy chair and plenty of books to read. There is also a full bathroom as well as a third large bedroom with a king bed.

REMOTE LOCATION! PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS BELOW BEFORE BOOKING!

Winter and early spring - PLEASE BE PREPARED WITH ALL WHEEL DRIVE OR SNOW CHAINS. These cannot be purchased on the mountain.

Ponderosa is a gorgeous, very remote small mountain town at 7200 feet.
This is a REMOTE location on the top of a mountain which is part of its charm AND means you need to plan ahead! Being prepared is key to having a great experience!

No gas station (fill up before heading up the mountain)
No cell service (there IS wifi).
No grocery stores or restaurants so plan to bring groceries.
NO TRASH SERVICES so you will take all of your trash down the mountain with you. (do not store trash outside or critters will make a mess!)

It has about 35 full-time residents. Nearby attractions include Trail of 100 Giants, Dome Rock, Slate Mountain and The Needles. **Because of recent wildfires, some attractions are temporarily closed by US Forest Service.

The last hour of the drive is very windy so we recommend you arrive during daylight. In winter and early spring months you’ll likely need 4 Wheel Drive or SNOW CHAINS. Consult CalTrans for road conditions.

SECURITY DEPOSIT
The security deposit is not charged to you unless there is a damage or non-trash removal claim AFTER your stay. So book with confidence!

TRASH & RECYCLABLES
There is NO TRASH SERVICE in Ponderosa so you will need to take all trash down the mountain with you when you leave. A $300 fee will be charged from your deposit if the trash is not removed or left in the community.

If extra cleaning is required due to pets having been on the beds and furniture, a $300 fee will be deducted from your deposit.

FOOD
All open food must be stored in fridge. We are in the middle of the forest and critters look for any excuse to come inside!

Midweek Mountain Getaway

Sarah’s place up in Ponderosa was exactly what we were looking for. The house is impeccably well decorated, and the location is incredible; being able to walk out the door and immediately be in Sequoia National Forest was amazing! Thank you so much for an awesome trip!

Great getaway!

Loved this cabin. We made the drive during the night as we had no other choice and it wasn’t too bad but would definitely recommend doing it during the day like Sarah recommends as there are a lot of winding narrow roads. The kids really enjoyed the reading book! Would return in a heartbeat!

Good mountain getaway

If you want a place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of people, then this is your place. Staying in this cabin in the middle of the woods was nice and relaxing, quiet, and refreshing.

Lovely remote get-away

Ponderosa is very remote, a nice place to be in nature without others around. The cabin was very clean and comfortable and backs to open woods. Sarah was extremely responsive in all communication. A lovely place to stay to get away.

Perfect mountain getaway

Casa Pondo has exceeded my expectations. Everything you would want from a mountain cabin is provided in this cabin. Just bring yourself, food and drinks and you are set. The charming house boasts loads of comforts inside and out and looks just as the photographs in the listings. I will be returning in the future for sure. It is a perfect place to unwind, enjoy hiking around the house and nearby trails.

Thoughtfully styled and comfortable

We enjoyed our stay so much! Such an amazing little gem in the mountains. Our kids enjoyed exploring the property, playing Uno by the fire and we loved cooking and listening to music on the deck. This cabin was thoughtfully styled with comfort in mind. Would highly recommend!

A True Delight

Could not have been happier with our stay at Casa Pondo. I had a lot of questions having never been to Ponderosa before and the host Sarah was always very quick to respond and very helpful with what felt like never ending questions. The cabin is in great condition, all the amenities worked flawlessly, spectacular fireplace, awesome sledding all around, the list goes on! The morning views from the loft are truly remarkable and it was a trip my family and I will always remember. Thank you again for sharing it with us, already thinking about when we could possibly make it back!

Gorgeous

The Casa Pondo is the most wonderful place on earth. It has everything you need to regroup and refresh. Sarah is the most gracious, wonderful host who was quick to respond and accommodate our needs. The property has great opportunities to explore the forest, streams and even a waterfall nearby. We enjoyed just having alone time as well as family time. We watched movies, put three puzzles together and saw lots of attractions. The sequoias by the cabin were beautiful. The cabin was super clean, and had lots of extra touches like q-tips, charging chords, games, puzzles, books, corn hole, places for hammocks, Insta Pot, coffee maker, spices, extra-long bath tub jacuzzi, and more. It is a serene, peaceful setting where your family can gather or have the space for alone time. We especially enjoyed the fireplace every night. What a gem!

My kids say The Best Air b&b Ever!

When it comes to staying in hotel/air b&b, Korean people are really keen and picky. Not only did Casa Pondo satisfy us, it also gifted us a good memory from all the nook and corners of the house. Kitchen/bathroom/ Rooms were clean and well decored with cute little things. We really liked the fact that wherever you take the photo, they come out really cute. The only downside was humongous moth/night bugs which the hostess doesnt have a controll of. Luckly we brought the bug catcher with a battery, it was okay. So a little ehads up. :) Sarah tipped me to go visit Nobe Young Falls and that was my faborate spot on this trip. Walking along a meadow-like little path, you find thos almost-magical little creek. So beaitiful!! We visited in July but there weren't many visiters, at least seemingly, it was really quiet. That was the best part for me :) My kid liked the star gazing at night as theres is ZERO light near by, which is impossible in the city. We cooked breakfast and dinner in the cute kitchen and it was even pleasant feelinas as i loved the plates and cup and almost everything. We wish we could go back in the fall AND winter again. Thank you, Sarah.

Best appointed mountain cabin ever

This cabin was the cleanest and best appointed mountain cabin we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in a lot). This is particularly important when staying in a such a remote mountain area without local conveniences. Sarah had technology hubs throughout (internet was surprisingly good for remote mountains), darling dinnerware and matching sets of glasses/mugs (might seem silly that I mention that, but we've actually brought our own wine glasses because cabin glassware has been so sparse at some places), a keurig carafe & pod coffee maker with an assortment of coffee/condiments etc., even a coffee grinder, a brita filtered water pitcher, placemats, dishrack, a great assortment of pyrex/pans/utensils all in good shape, a nice contemporary oven/stove/microwave, great wrap around deck with privacy gate to keep out uninvited forest visitors, a smart tv, wonderful sunken/whirlpool bathroom tub with a view of the forest. Lovely forest views of cedar, pine, and mountain boulders out every window. The kitchen had dish/hand soap dispensers. The bathrooms had hand soap lotion shampoo/conditioner dispensers. If I had known (believed) that the cabin would be so well appointed, I could have left a good quarter of my stuff at home. Water pressure great.The drive way is flat/ accessible (an added convenience in the mountains especially in winter) Our stay was in September when the weather was warm, but the cabin had lots of extra blankets cozy seating & games for a fun winter visit too.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par Sarah

There’s something about being in nature that helps provide perspective and remind me what really matters in life! This cabin has been an absolute dream come true! While my primary residence is a small apartment in the heart of Los Angeles, I love getting away to the mountains to slow down, reflect, and connect with God, friends and family. It's my absolute joy to share my very special home away from home with you!
