Natural Features

The Upper Grouse Valley is approximately a fifty minute drive 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), and fruit orchards. The property has a lower and an upper man-made lake.

At 4,800 feet elevation, visitors need to be prepared for a variety of weather including warm afternoons, chilly nights and afternoon thunderstorms. It is also not unusual to experience a dusting of snow during the early spring and later fall months.

The land surrounding the cabins is open to the public who must walk-in so other visitors may be in the vicinity during your stay.
