We live on a small farm in the country about an hour from the Kings Canyon National Park entrance and 1.5 hours to the south entrance of Yosemite. We have been hosts for years and have many guests come through our place every year. We are always happy to answer questions and want to make your stay with us comfy. We both work so don't take it personally if we cannot always greet you or stay to chat for long. ;) We have chickens (including a rooster), cats and dogs who patrol the property and as such, it can be lively and noisy at times. We live directly across from an active citrus farm set up and therefore orchard fans (running continuously at night in frost season) and other farm equipment may be in use during your stay. There might also be barking dogs, coyotes howling and owls hooting. There is wonderful produce all around and many great day trips you can take to Forestiere Underground Gardens, the Blossom Trail and more. If you are visiting during the Spring/Summer, there are many local fruit stands to buy juicy strawberries (April/May) and peaches/stone fruit (June - August). Check out Friesen Family Farms at 15496 E Saginaw Ave, Kingsburg. Parlier also boasts some wonderful Mexican food. We have a local place that sells street tacos for an affordable that is a favorite and easy meal option (Taqueria Zihuatenajo located at 13129 Parlier St), as well as several local wineries with tasting options, Schoolhouse Tavern and more!
