Amazing B&B
Lovely hosts, amazing breakfast, a feel-at-home atmosphere, and perfectly located for visiting Sequoia—and listening to the coyotes at night ;)

Comfortable and excellent location
Hostess was incredibly gracious and got us squared away on check in. Made sure everyone knew where they were going the following day after servicing a nice home cooked meal.

Great property. About half an hour from Kings Canyon, but with the pricing and drive.

I want to come back
Excellent service. The host is very friendly and makes feel at home. Cooked breakfast both days. They are so good.
This is a nice little gem by Sequioa. We were able to sit out and star gaze at night after a long day of hiking. Breakfast is also great.

Excellent B&B
Branded Calf is a treasure of a B&B. Hostess Connie is a treasure trove of advice about the area and serves a wonderful breakfast. Our room was comfortable and spacious. B&B is only 30 minutes from entrance to Kings Canyon NP. Highly Recommend!

Superb property and experience!
An absolute highlight of our extended road trip. Very clean and spacious room, and breakfast was home-cooked and delicious. Connie was very helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed talking with other guests over breakfast, as well as exploring the property and its animals, including more hummingbirds than we'd ever seen before! Very convenient to Sequoia/Kings Canyon. Pretty secluded, so plan to have dinner before you arrive or hit up the one pizza place down the street. A superb stay - highly, highly recommended.

This was the best B&B stay we have had so far. Connie is the Grandma I never had! Her breakfast is THE BEST! She is very knowledgeable about the nearby national parks and gave us excellent hiking tips. She is such a wonderful person to talk to! Her dogs are delightful and so well behaved! We’ll miss this
