Cozy rustic cabin nestled in the woods near Peppermint Falls. Enjoy peaceful forest views, nearby hi


Welcome to Pinecone Hideaway on Peppermint Falls Ranch, a newly remodeled cabin nestled on 320 acres of private land within the Giant Sequoia National Monument. As one of the only private land holdings in this vast protected area and surrounded entirely by national forest, this luxury off-grid retreat offers unparalleled privacy with the nearest neighboring property over 6 miles away. Peppermint Creek meanders nearly a mile through the ranch, boasting numerous waterfalls, including the majestic 150-foot Peppermint Falls.

Accessible via a 2-mile paved private driveway or by helicopter at our private helipad, this secluded haven is perfect for those seeking tranquility and adventure. Enjoy exclusive fishing via a private 1-mile trail to the Kern River many miles upstream from any other point accessible to the public, and explore miles of private trails that connect to the vast trail networks within the Monument and the Golden Trout Wilderness. Nearby attractions within 15 to 40 minutes include Seven Teacups, natural waterslides, the Trail of 100 Giants, the George Bush Tree, and the breathtaking Needles, a series of massive granite rock formations that rise dramatically from the North Fork of the Kern River, offering world-class rock climbing.

All amenities on Peppermint Falls Ranch are powered entirely by sustainable solar energy, including heating, air conditioning, and hot water. This cozy cabin offers serene forest views from the spacious, covered porch, perfect for sipping your morning coffee or relaxing at sunset. Inside, enjoy a modern yet rustic ambiance with handcrafted wood furniture, a king-sized bed with luxurious percale linens, and a comfortable living area where the sofa converts into a full-size hideaway bed. The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a live-edge countertop and coffee station, makes meal prep a breeze. Unwind in the beautifully designed bathroom featuring a waterfall shower and bidet for a spa-like experience. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful escape or a comfortable base for outdoor adventures, Pinecone Hideaway offers the perfect blend of comfort and style.

We are approx 1 hour from the closest grocery store, plan accordingly! The driveway is paved, and there are more dirt roads and trails on the property. Ask your host about ATV, Mountain Bike and Helicopter rental packages!
