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.

Host was great, food was good, place was well kept inside. Dogs barking at night made it hard to get a full nights sleep.

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!

What a dream find! Connie (the host) is so great and knowledgeable! Her breakfast each morning is perfect (veggie omelet or scramble with coffee, OJ, biscuits and fresh fruit). There are adorable dogs on property, and a TON of hummingbirds! Highly recommend this absolute GEM of a place!

Amazing!
I don't think it gets any better. Location, Connie's food, 204 acres of bliss, cleanliness, size of room and bathroom and common areas. Was a great two day stay in Connie's place. Both mornings we had delicious breakfast served at 7:30. It's about 30 minutes to Grant Grove Village and Fresno. If it's hot, go for a morning walk on the property when the temperature is perfect. Your stay will basically be the emobidment of the American experiment. You'll enjoy the beautiful nature and eat breakfast with other guests from all over the world. We will definitely be back.

Connie was a most convivial host. She was always friendly and helpful. Her knowledge and advise for navigating the Parks was outstanding. Her house is spacious, with a lot to do, and our room was huge and well appointed. To top it off, she served us a lovely breakfast each morning which set a great tone for our day.
