The property is very close to Sequoia National Park, which is what we wanted. We traveled as a family of five (2 parents, 3 kids), and the space was perfect! The kids loved the loft, and my husband and I had our own room to relax in. Everything we needed was there so we could cook or meals in the morning and evening when we weren't at the National Park. The air conditioners worked well and kept us comfortable when it was the mid 90s outside. The space was very clean and cozy and we enjoyed our time.

Nice spot, it worked well for me, my husband and two teens. The south fork of the Kaweah river is right in the backyard, and it was nice to wade in the river and cool off on a hot July day. The a/c did a good job of cooling off the house and loft bedroom. Easy access to Sequoia National Park. I think it would also be really cozy in the winter since there are two wood burning stoves. Note that this is a cottage that shares the property with a larger main house that is a separate rental. I wasn’t aware of that and was surprised and a bit confused on arrival, but it was my mistake for not reading the property description carefully enough. However, the cottage is far enough away from the other house that it’s plenty private and it has its own separate river access. We would stay here again for sure. Check in was easy with a lock box and the host was very communicative.

Comfortable Cabin
Located off the beaten track by a river, this cabin had three queen sized beds making it very comfortable for three senior ladies. It is also about 30 minutes from Sequoia National Park, and a great place to return to after a long day.

Awesome place to stay
The property is spacious, beautiful, very close to the river, and close to the entrance of Sequoia National Park. Check in was very easy. Owner communicates really fast. The place has two fireplaces, a full kitchen - equipped with what you need. The location is very relaxing as you can hear the sound of the river while you eat breakfast and while you sleep. Will definitely go back.

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.

Very peaceful
We wanted a quiet weekend away from home and this was a great place for that.
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!

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.

Honeymoon
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.
