The Orange Blossom Cottage

Welcome to Orange Blossom Cottage!

One of the most remarkable places to stay in Exeter, California! Conveniently located approx. 30 minutes from the main entrance of Sequoia National Park. With close proximity to multiple wedding venues, idyllic downtown Exeter, and vibrant Visalia. If you're looking for a private and peaceful stay, you'll enjoy the beautiful setting located among acres of citrus groves surrounding the property. Enjoy a relaxing walk, picnic, or adventurous bike ride while taking in the sweet scent of orange blossoms. Perfect for guests traveling with friends or family. There's truly something for everyone - Featuring a great outdoor space and an expansive lawn for kids to run and play. Also included are a telescope for stargazing on a clear night, a ping pong table, and a detached Casita with a wet bar, TV, and a Peloton bike for the exercise enthusiast! Impeccably designed with guest comfort in mind, you'll love the high-end furnishings, 1,000 thread count bedroom linens, fully equipped kitchen, and complimentary welcome treats! The large TV and extra comfy couch in the living room are perfect for watching the big game or streaming your favorite show after a long day of adventure, exploring the National Park, or rafting down the Kaweah River. The best of both worlds, located just minutes away from town for modern conveniences like grocery shopping, restaurants, and entertainment yet far enough away to enjoy the quiet serene location. Free Wifi, expansive parking, quick & easy access to nearby Highway 198, and less than an hour's drive from Fresno Yosemite International Airport!

Guests may use their own streaming sites to watch TV or use a provided Netflix account on the various Smart TVs.

Neighborhood

Located in a rural area in Exeter, California, in fields of orange trees known as orange groves.  Feel free to walk around the trees and pick an orange to enjoy.  At the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains, views are breathtaking, especially after the rain on a really clear day, or during the winter when the mountains are snow-capped.  In the Spring, the foothills come alive with wildflowers.

Time in the valley to visit family in Visalia.
We enjoyed our time in the orange grove, quiet most of the time, but it’s a working farm. It’s not new, beds are high, but I am short - ha! Many area rugs.

We loved the property. The shower was XL in the main bedroom and the kids could play in the back yard. The host was very responsive and accommodating.

My two nights at the The Orange Blossom Cottage were as tranquil and peaceful as I could’ve hoped. This home was a dream and one I wouldn’t think twice about booking again. It fulfilled every desire I had about one day living in a property such as this. It was such a pleasure and an honor to stay in such a beautiful home.

Loved Our Stay!
We have stayed in many vacation homes over the years. I have to say this one exceeded our expectations. Everything in the description and pictures is 100% accurate but it can’t describe the feeling of being “home”. I can personally add that it was not only comfortable but very peaceful and relaxing. Property management checked in with us a few times to make sure we had what we needed but the house was equipped with everything we could want. We felt safe because not only was the large property fenced in with an entrance gate but there was also a security camera monitoring the activity coming in to the property. We were especially thrilled to be surrounded by the beautiful orange grove. We must admit to picking a few of those delicious fruits for breakfast. The flowers and well managed landscape was an added delight. This property is perfect for a couple needing some quiet downtime or privacy. This property is also perfect for a family because of the spacious yard to play in, the separate grilling area and plus a fire pit for roasting marshmallows. I highly recommend staying at The Orange Blossom Cottage!

Cozy cottage
The location was perfect, the beds were comfortable, and the outdoor area was great! My family really enjoyed being close to the freeway but nestled between the orange groves. This location made it easy to take a day trip to the sequoias and visit with family that live in the area. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
