Great cabin in a perfect location.
Stayed while on a trip to explore the Sequoia Forrest. The location was perfect. Nestled away from main roads you feel very secluded. Great place to unwind and enjoy nature. Lots of small wildlife so perfect for nature lovers. The cabin had everything we needed. Was exactly as pictured and very clean. Would definitely stay again.

This is a beautiful guest house tucked away along the South Fork of the Kaweah River. It's lovely hearing the river, which is just a short walk away. We had everything we needed for our few days visiting Sequoia National Park, with a comfortable bed, well-outfitted kitchen, and cushioned patio furniture to relax outside and listen to the river. The host was exceptionally responsive. Definitely recommend for a secluded, comfortable getaway!

Beautiful and tranquil
Very beautiful property, if you open the windows you can here the river very near by. Me, my sons and dog had a great time. Plenty of room for 3 to 4 people with lots to do outdoors in the area. Doors are a little tricky at first but easy once you follow instructions exactly as stated. I hope to be back soon.

Beautiful river-front property
Our family of three + dog loved staying here for a few days. Property was beautiful and felt a world away, but was only a 10-minute drive from Three Rivers restaurants and grocery store. Spacious master bedroom, and the AC units kept us cool in the late summer heat. Easy access to Sequoia NP. We had fun exploring the grounds and walking down the road to see the horses at the neighboring property. The host was very responsive to inquiries. The only improvements we'd suggest would be to replace the standard toaster with a toaster oven, because with no oven or microwave there is no good way to reheat food. Also the bathroom could use additional shelves or hooks, very little space to put items.

Overall a great house with great access to Sequoia National Park. The house was very nice, but needed some light bulbs replaced and the dish soap was out. Also there isn't an oven or microwave for meal planning purposes. Just a 2 burner stove and a grill. Great shower and comfortable bed! The grounds were a little run down. The outdoor furniture was covered and could tell hadn't been used in a while. When we took the covers off, mice had made a home there, so we couldn't sit on them. Just wanted to let others know. I would have wanted to know this before going. We had a great time and would definitely go again! Thank you.

The cottage was perfect for what we wanted, which was a quiet place away from the city. We took walks with our dog in the mornings down to the river. The river creek was literally in their backyard! The nature setting was a beautiful site to see. The cottage inside was nice and cozy. The only drawback was the no oven or microwave, but it wasn't a biggie, we managed. The owner Lada was great at communicating and would check on us daily. Definitely going back on my next break.

I left my heart on those stepping stones...
My children and I had a challenging Summer. I booked this rental with the idea in mind that we would have a couple days of peace before everyone returned to school and this home certainly fit the bill. Convenient access to everything, the home had everything we could need and the access to the water was incredible. The children and I had fun trying to balance as we navigated our way across the stepping stones. Very relaxing. I left numerous items at the vacation rental AND lost the key to the house somehow and the owner was incredibly gracious, communicative and understanding... Thank you so very much. We hope to visit again someday.

National park visit
This was just what we were looking for. Something close to the national parks but yet a nice quiet place to stay. Being right outside of the town of three rivers it is close to restaurants and the food store but is off the beaten path so is very quiet and private. We had a great stay.

We had a wonderful stay in this home. The hosts were quick to respond and very accommodating. The home is very clean, nicely decorated, close to the very small village in 3 Rivers and to the entrance of the National Park (of course it’s a bit of a drive into the park from the entrance to see the main sighs). I would highly recommend this home
