The Farmhouse @ Mt. Dennison w/beautiful views | House in Springville

Summary:
Enjoy gorgeous panoramic views at this historic mountain farmhouse with a farm stand, bakery, and more. Located high in the Sequoias near the Balch Park entrance.
The Space:
Incredible mountain farmhouse with a rich history and gorgeous renovations, just minutes from Balch Park in the Sequoia National Forest. Enjoy uninterrupted views from the back deck, stargaze, and soak in the crisp mountain air. Whether you're looking for peaceful relaxation or daring adventures, Mt. Dennison has it all. Nearby Balch Park is famous for fishing, hiking, and rock climbing. This farmhouse is the perfect home base for families traveling to Balch Park, wedding guests at any of the nearby venues including The White Barn in Springville, or anyone in need of a relaxing and exciting vacation in the Sequoia National Forest.
Guest Access
Guests have access to the entire mountain home, wifi, washer and dryer, yard games, one driveway parking space plus street parking, and plenty of grassy area to play, tent camp in the yard (must be approved), or hang out under the stars. The driveway is shared and there is another vacation rental on the property.
Other details to note
This is a mountain residence, so there may be some undesirable creatures such as rattle snakes, skunks, raccoons, spiders, and other insects. We do our best to keep these away, but they do make an appearance from time to time. Our farm dogs do a great job at keeping the bears and mountain lions away from the property.
This beautiful home does not have a TV, we invite you to unplug, enjoy the outdoors and quality time with your loved ones!
There is another vacation rental on the property. You'll share a driveway and a breezeway to the backyard. There are no shared walls. You are welcome to rent both properties, please let us know if you're interested in this!
Neighborhood Description
Up at the top of Balch Park road, you'll find this beautiful mountain farmhouse. There's an apartment on the property that is also a vacation rental, and the property owners live on the ranch, so while you're up in the Sequoias, there is a feeling of safety and security, with other people nearby. Enjoy minimal light pollution allowing for optimum stargazing! Bring your telescope and set up camp under the stars! Views of the mountains and forest from every window, you're likely to see many birds, and even deer and other wildlife along the beautiful drive up. The nearest "town" with restaurants, gas stations, and convenience stores is Springville, and the nearest large town with grocery stores and entertainment is Porterville. Located just a few miles above downtown Springville, the gorgeous surroundings make for amazing wedding backdrops, and there are many wedding venues around, most notably The White Barn at Springville Ranch.
