We live on this 6 acres of beautiful land with a large variety of trees and plants. It also features a small beach and a Pickleball court free to use. Located in the Sierra Nevada foothills on route to Sequoia National Park makes our location very convenient. This is agricultural land which mainly grow citrus, nuts and other tree crops. Citrus groves have windmachines for frost protection and if the nighttime temperature dips below 36 degrees, they start up automatically. This can be noisy depending on how severe the frost threat is to the crops. We are 5 minutes from great restaurants and 45 minutes from Sequioa National Park.

OrangeRay, home of Pixie's Place Animal Sanctuary and Hospice was founded in 2007, when I left L.A. for the forest by the river to create, and to expand my shamanic pursuits. Being that Three Rivers was home to the socialist Kaweah Colony in the 1800's; which helped in the founding of Sequoia National Park; the area is rich in history. Poet John Muir was enchanted and inspired by this area; Walt Disney fell under her spell as well when he envisioned a "Swiss Chalet" style resort which never came to fruition. The water wars of California began right here; gold rush...right here! "Kaweah" is the name given by the Indians for the sound the Crow makes. Three Rivers literally sits on slabs of quartz crystal, making rock hunting superb! As an energy practitioner, the quartz heightens the healing process; as well as creating an energy vortex. My property sits on an area that was once an Indian village, and then the school house for the children of the pioneers. There was a huge Hare Krishna Colony up here in the 60-70's. As a photographer and filmmaker, the lighting up here is amazing! The night skies literally pulsate with their celestial canopy. A great spot to sky watch as well! The property is not kid-friendly, and is not really here for children as much as it is offered for the inner child in adults. WE ARE 420 friendly which is in opposition to most "family" landscapes....so please note this is not personal but I prefer no children xo Also, I prefer no pets, as it disrupts the balance here with the animal residents :) I share fresh eggs when available :) (The shower is not available to guest :)

Envision a serene 46-acre lakefront property cradled at the Sierra Nevada foothills, where the grandeur of the Central Valley's orchards unfolds before your eyes, and the tranquil waters of Lake Kaweah, graced with a marina, glisten under the sun. The panorama extends to the majestic snow-capped peaks, crafting a backdrop of awe-inspiring beauty. This haven of tranquility is adorned with a 20-foot seasonal waterfall, a meandering creek, and sprawling oak trees that stand as silent witnesses to the organic splendor of the surroundings. The land, teeming with natural allure, offers a sanctuary for the soul and a feast for the eyes. The expanse of this property is not just a testament to its grand size but also to its versatility. It is an idyllic setting for hosting a variety of events, from spiritual retreats and yoga gatherings to joyous weddings and memorable family reunions. The possibilities are as limitless as the clear blue sky above. Accessibility is a breeze, with the property situated a mere 20 minutes from the pulse of Interstate 99. For those drawn to the call of the wild, the Sequoia National Park is just a 25-minute drive away, promising adventures amidst ancient giants and the whispers of nature. This property isn't just a piece of land; it's a canvas where memories are painted, a stage where life's pivotal moments are celebrated, and a retreat where the hustle of life fades into the harmonious chorus of nature's melody. It's not just an opportunity; it's an invitation to embrace a life less ordinary. Indeed, this property is not just a must-see; it's a must-experience.

Loved spending the night here with a couple friends! It’s a perfect, cozy spot to spend a night or two while exploring the national parks and local mountains. If you’re looking for something easier than camping or setting up your own campsite, but still has the feel of being outdoors, this is it! The heater works great, water gets hot (wifi does not reach the trailer however, and cell reception ranges from decent to absolutely nonexistent- but if you really need to use a phone, the wifi works great closer to the house). The coffee was such a perk in the morning! Thanks so much!

A perfect five-star stay! The combination of the incredibly gracious hosts, Joe and Kim, and the unbeatable proximity to Sequoia National Park makes this lodging a must-book. It was the perfect basecamp for exploring the park's famous trails and towering, ancient trees. We especially appreciated the easy access to nearby dining establishments and the fun, nostalgic candy shop—it added a unique and sweet touch to our entire trip!

The best camping near Mist Falls, CA guide

Overview

About

An 8 mile trek winding through the lush valley of the Kings River will bring you to the majestic Mist Falls. The majority of this hike runs along the riverbank and will lead you past intermittent rapids, cascades, and the many deep blue pools that lie in between these sections. While it may look inviting the fast moving waters make this a risky place to take dip. As you approach the the 100ft wall of cascading water the mist will be sure to refresh you as you take a well deserved break at its summit. Beyond the summit is the Paradise Valley that is home to even more exciting terrain to explore.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Mist Falls is during the spring and fall months, when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer brings warmth and longer days, perfect for extended hikes, but be mindful of the potential for crowded trails. Winter, while quieter, can present challenges with cooler temperatures and limited access to certain areas.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast and trail conditions before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
  • Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking, as terrain can vary.
  • Stay on designated trails to protect the environment and your own safety.
  • Bring plenty of water and snacks, as facilities may be limited.
  • Respect wildlife and maintain a safe distance at all times.
