Merrynook Cabin See Giant Sequoias! See Kings Canyon Natl Park! 20 minutes away

Two bedrooms, one bath. And a tiny bedroom for fun. Full kitchen, cozy living room. Laundry. BBQ. Garden patio. Only 20 minutes to Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park. Or stick close to the cabin all day and have a real vacation. Find your here, Here.

Built in the 1930s as a restaurant (serving chicken!) when logging was a way of life in the southern Sierra Nevada foothills, today Merrynook is an art-filled garden cabin just a short drive from Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and Sequoia National Forest.​

Bachrun and Mahalia LoMele own and manage Merrynook, and its sister cabin next door, Fivespot. They have been vacation hosts in Pinehurst since 2008.

This was totally awesome!!!
Mahalia’s home in the woods was great!! We all loved the house and all the homey touches ( art, books, wood burning stove, bathtub!). We had all we needed and truly enjoyed our time. We would love to come back in the future. The proximity to the SEKI parks was superb. A great time was had by my family. Thanks again Mahalia!!!
