Hospitality Description: We have two homes on our 10 acre property. We live in one and the second home is for friends and family. With an active family and children still at home we don’t exchange our primary home as there is almost always someone home. Along with pets, farm animals, garden, etc. The homes have ample space between them to feel private.

General overview

This is such a welcoming and unique log home! We love it! Completely renovated. Beautiful views out of every window and so warm and inviting. There are several completely unique areas both inside and out for reading, visiting, or enjoying some quiet time. We have loved sharing it with family and friends and want to expand that to “new friends” as well. You are able to enjoy sunrises as well as beautiful sunsets from this location. There is a seasonal creek on the property complete with a suspension bridge. We are a 30 minute drive from Clovis and 10 minutes up to the nearest market and a few other stores and restaurants. Being centrally located in CA makes for many enjoyable day trips or a good jumping off point for longer trips. Yosemite is 1.5 hours away. Sequoia NP is also about 1.5 hours away. Los Angeles is a 3.5 hour drive. San Francisco can be reached in 3.5 hours. We have seasonal skiing 1 hour away at China Peak. California’s Central Coast can be reached in 3 hours. Summer months offer many areas to hike, boat, mountain bike, horseback ride, ATV/4 wheel access, or camping. Many of these same activities can be enjoyed in the winter months as well at the lower elevations. The San Joaquin Valley has a wide variety of places to visit and events to attend as well.

The space

This home is set up for comfortable and casual living. Fully equipped for preparing meals, reading, enjoying nature, or a quiet place to work. There is a recently tuned piano and a tv in the living room along with a wood burning stove. The large bedroom has a king sized bed, lots of windows, separate split unit for heat and cooling as well as a private bath. There is a large closet as well. There is a sitting room attached to the bedroom for a cozy place to enjoy a good book. You are able to step outside anytime from the bedroom through French doors or a large sliding door. Several outdoor areas are available complete with porch swing, outdoor table and chairs, and benches. The home is located close to the main road, so there can be some road noise noticeable when you are outside, but the thick log walls makes inside a quiet sanctuary. We noticed more traffic on holiday weekends. We will be purchasing a new washer and dryer for guests. They are not installed at the moment, but will be in place for any future guests.

Guest access

The guests have access to the complete main floor. There is a loft space that is used as a studio work space that is not set up for guest use at this time. Don’t worry- we won’t be using it when you are here. ;) All entrances have steps of some sort, so please note that. There is plenty of parking, but not covered or garage parking.

Notes

We are in a neighborhood of large properties, so you have plenty of space, but we do have neighbors that you will see. So, we are not “off in the woods” but that also means that you won’t need to travel down a few miles of dirt roads to get to us.

Neighbourhood

We are in the rural foothills of the Central Valley. Rolling hills, oak trees, grasses, cattle, horses, and wildlife are all a part of the scenery here. Our home sits on 10 acres with adjoining properties about the same size. There are much larger ranches in the area with the oaks turning to pine trees and cooler temperatures just up the road about 30 minutes.

Getting to my home

The closest airport is the Fresno Yosemite International Airport located in Fresno, CA. When driving you will come up highway 168 from Fresno or Clovis. If you are coming from one of the National Parks I can give you specific directions as needed. You will need a car in this area. If you plan on a winter visit and want to go up into the higher elevations you will need tire chains/cables or a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Weather dependent. You are required by law to carry chains/cables even with a 4-wheel drive vehicle in CA.

Dwight and Jodi

Hello- We are a couple who loves to travel, meet new people, see new places, and enjoy life’s ever changing dynamics. We have a large family of seven children from around the globe, (ages 30-15 years old) two son-in-laws, and our first grandchild will makes it’s appearance mid-May of 2025. We live in a beautiful area of California that we are excited to share with others. We have done informal home exchanges, house sitting, hosting, and a Hipcamp site. The complete renovation of our log home is wrapped up and we have enjoyed sharing it with friends and family. Excited to join this community and meet some of you.
