About Grouse Meadow
Grouse Valley is located in the Giant Sequoia National Monument within Sequoia National Forest. The facility is actually a complex of three cabins, including the Caretakers Cabin, Hillside Cabin and Lakeside Cabin.The Lakeside Cabin is the largest of the three and can accommodate up to 12 people. Both the Hillside Cabin and the Caretakers Cabin, which is a guesthouse attached to the garage, can accommodate 10 people.The property is nestled in an open scenic valley, which contains two lakes surrounded by pine and oak trees and a few small fruit and nut orchards. The serenity and open space provided at Upper Grouse presents visitors with a rare opportunity to enjoy the Sequoia National Forest apart from the traditional campground experience.Natural Features: The Upper Grouse Valley is located approximately 11 air miles north of Springville, California, at an elevation of around 4,800 feet. Vegetation on the property includes riparian, mixed conifer (ponderosa pine, incense cedar, and white fir), an apple orchard, an almond orchard and other various landscaping plants.The property includes a lower man-made lake filled with the water from a spring-fed upper man-made lake. Because the cabins are located at an elevation of 4,800 feet, visitors need to be prepared for a variety of weather including warm afeeternoons, chilly nights and afeeternoon thunderstorms. It is also not unusual to experience a dusting of snow during the early spring and later fall months.The lands surrounding
