“Weekend getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

Accommodations – for Bad and Breakfast – 5 stars
Hospitality – by Alive and John – 5 stars with a big plus
Location - PRICELESS

We were looking for a two days weekend getaway from LA and pinpointed this place on the Google map. We were expecting just a bed and breakfast. O boy we were wrong. Alvie and John were waiting for our late arrival Friday evening with a big smile and a heartwarming greeting. We were pampered like royalty. The mountain house, spa, and our bedroom was outstanding and really cute.
In the morning Alvie prepared one of these breakfasts you can get only at home; and we felt like at home. After the breakfast she pointed the “must see” places in the area and provided her hand drawn maps.
The following morning was the same outstanding breakfast in the cozy dining area and friendly conversation with Alvie and John. You can’t ask for more.
Our weekend was great and we can recommend you try it yourself at this place, you won’t be sorry. Cheers.

“Wonderful experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

Two weeks ago, we stayed here for 1 night. What a hospitability! They give you a very warm welcome, although they give you your privacy as well! It was great to talk to Alvie and John, to enjoy this beautiful, cosy and romantic location and to relax in the jacuzzi. They will prepare you a breakfast taking into account what you like and what you don't! The road driving to the B&B makes it even more worth to go and stay there! Loved it!

“The Clue is in the Name.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

Very hospitable & friendly hosts. Location is remote and on top of a mountain and this needs to be taken account of depending on what you are doing ie Touring/dining. We only stayed a night but it was great fun. Beautiful location, quiet. The jacuzzi was fun and most welcome after a long drive.
Excellent breakfast. Recommend the nearby one & only local Lodge for meal/drinks, great experience, tasty food and beer drunk out of a jam-jar (a novelty for this Brit!), just great!

Room Tip: Only two rooms so not a major issue.

“Beautiful, charming, and romantic B&B, with great hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 5, 2012

This place is incredible. VERY homey, very cute, very clean, and very comfortable! The house is decorated in a very home-like way. It's warming.
The hosts, John and Alvie, and very friendly and helpful. They drew us maps and guided us to all the main attractions around the beautiful forest. They're great people with many stories to tell.

“Fantastic retreat in the land of the giant sequoias!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2012

First, a technical point: Mountain Top is not really in Springville. That's their mailing address. They're in Ponderosa, in the Sequoia National Monument (and national forest), not Sequoia National Park, which, as far as we were concerned, turned out all for the better, as the national park gets crowded during the summer, while the monument was delightfully peaceful and relaxing.
John and Alvie are delightful hosts and will, if given the chance, spoil you something awful. Wine, cheese, and other delectable treats, fresh-baked cookies, and then, there's breakfast, which is a gourmet delight. We couldn't finish all of Alvie's Aebleskivers at breakfast, but even cold, they made a tasty treat with lunch. The Ahwahnee creamed bananas were nothing short of fantastic, and the phyllo eggs benedict-style, were superb.
Our hosts offered excellent suggestions for hikes and explorations, and as a result, we found ourselves standing behind the stunning Nobe Young Falls, and gazing off Dome Rock. Breathtaking!
The accommodations are comfortable, the food is delicious, and the area is rugged and beautiful. But beyond all of that, it's the people who make the big difference. John and Alvie make Mountain Top B&B the great place it is for us travelers. They're deeply involved in their community (to the point where it sometimes takes its toll on the couple), and they are friendly, courteous, kind, filled with excellent advice, and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Room Tip: If you don't want breakfast and all the B&B amenities, Mountain Top offers a "cabin&quo...
