Sequoia Meadows | Suite 1 | Hot Tub + Fire Pit
Springville, CA, United States
Some places make you slow down the moment you arrive. Sequoia Meadows is one of them — a 1950s blue cabin-style property sitting at the edge of a meadow in Camp Nelson, CA with Nelson Creek close enough to hear and Sequoia National Forest stretching out in every direction. Suite 1 has a private porch facing the forest, a shared hot tub, a shared fire pit beneath a gazebo, and fresh mountain air that creates instant calm. Up to 2 guests, pets welcome. Come up. Unplug. Relax And Recharge.
Good to know
There's something about old mountain cabins that newer places can't manufacture. The way the wood holds the cold overnight. The way the morning light comes through at an angle you didn't expect. The way a place built in the 1950s has already absorbed decades of people arriving tired, slowing down, and leaving a little more themselves — and somehow you can feel that the moment you step out of the car. Sequoia Meadows is that kind of place. Set in Camp Nelson — a small, unhurried community perched at around 4,700 feet in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California — the property sits at the edge of a natural meadow and shares a border with Nelson Creek. On a still morning, you can hear the water from outside. The forest presses in close on all sides. The sky at night is the kind you only get this far from city lights. This isn't a property that works hard to impress you; it puts you somewhere genuinely beautiful and trusts the place to do the rest. SUITE 1 The cabin has three private units with three separate entrances, each with its own bedroom, full en-suite bathroom, wall furnace, mini-split AC, and a 40-inch Roku Smart TV. Suite 1 has some unique features including a private entrance on the back side of the cabin that faces the forest, along with a larger private patio and outdoor furniture facing the forest. The outdoor spaces, including the hot tub and fire pit, are shared. THE OUTDOOR SPACES This is where Sequoia Meadows really opens up. The hot tub is there when the day is done, the temperature has dropped, and someone in your group finally says what everyone was already thinking. The fire pit sits under a gazebo surrounded by Adirondack chairs — the kind of setup that turns one last drink into two more hours of conversation, and no one minds at all. Picnic tables are spread out across the meadow for the long afternoons when being inside feels like a waste. The creek runs in the background. The forest holds the edges of everything in. THE FOREST Sequoia National Forest wraps around Camp Nelson the way it has for longer than anyone alive can remember. Hiking trails, fishing spots, swimming holes, and mountain roads that go wonderfully quiet once you leave the main route. The trees in this corner of California are old in a way that changes how you think about time. A few days here tends to do the same thing to the people in them. A NOTE ON GETTING HERE Camp Nelson is genuinely remote — that's the point, and most people who come here will tell you it's the best part. Cell service is limited to nonexistent once you're up the mountain. Download your maps offline before you leave the valley. The nearest full grocery store is in Springville, about 35 to 45 minutes down. Stock up on the way in. The property is walking distance to the Camp Nelson Saloon and Camp Nelson General Store. The property has Starlink internet that works reliably — but the whole point of being here is to need it a little less than usual.
Other Details to Note
CELL SERVICE & CONNECTIVITY Camp Nelson has limited to no cell service. This is part of what makes it special — and something to plan around. Download offline maps, playlists, and anything else before leaving the valley. The property has Starlink internet, which works reliably for streaming, video calls, and everything in between. ELEVATION The property sits at approximately 4,700 feet. If anyone in your group is sensitive to altitude, take it easy on arrival day. Drink water. The mountain will meet you where you are. PROPANE Wall furnaces and water heaters run on propane. The tank is behind the property near the door of Unit 1 and is on an automatic refill program. Please leave it as you find it. THE HOT TUB Shared between all three units — please shower before use and be considerate of other guests' schedules. Treat it well; it's one of the things that makes evenings here what they are. PETS Pets are welcome with a $40 per pet per night fee — please declare all pets at booking. Pets are not allowed on any furniture including sofas, beds, or chairs. They may not be left unattended unless securely crated in a crate you provide. Please clean up after them at all times. Any excessive pet-related mess will result in a minimum $250 additional cleaning fee. EVENTS The property welcomes events with advance approval. A $2,500 grounds event fee applies for outdoor use. A portable restroom trailer is required and is the guest's responsibility to arrange. An on-site event monitor is required at $300. A one-day event liability insurance policy with a Certificate of Insurance naming the property owner as additionally insured is required prior to the event date. QUIET HOURS 10 PM to 8 AM. Camp Nelson is a residential mountain community — sound travels, and the neighbors are part of what keeps this place as peaceful as it is. SECURITY A Ring Camera is located on the exterior of the property. There is no indoor security system — your privacy inside is fully your own.
