About Property

Discover a magical mountain escape at Trout River Cabin, a serene retreat nestled on an acre of Sequoia National Forest in Camp Nelson, Springville, California. This enchanting getaway invites you to unwind to the soothing sounds of the Tule River, right from the comfort of your own private deck.

Designed for groups and families, the cabin comfortably sleeps 7 guests. The sleeping arrangements feature 4 bedrooms (including a cozy loft) and 4 beds, supported by 1 bathroom.
