Chic Historic Cottage in the Heart of 3 Rivers - voted Best Vacation Rental 2015

Maile's Cottage is an historic landmark in the quaint township of Three Rivers. Maile's Cottage affords you incredible accessibility to the main entrance to Sequoia National Park, just a 10 minute drive. Plus, you have the convenience of being able to walk to local restaurants and stores including a coffee shop, frozen yogurt shop, Sierra Subs, the Ol Buckaroo, Three Rivers Brewery, and a local market all just a stone's throw away. And - you are welcome to bring your family dog with you on your vacation.

The owners have lovingly restored and upgraded this charming cottage to provide modern amenities and conveniences while maintaining the original architectural integrity. You will be delighted with the stylish uncluttered interiors and carefully selected vintage furniture and chic decor, all created by a professional Interior Designer whose specialty is boutique hotels.

The spacious living room has an original iron stove and wood burning fireplace, comfortable leather sofas, large flat screen with Blu Ray player and internet for downloading movies and accessing Netflix (not connected to cable or satellite). You will need to bring your password. There is also a large selection of DVD's. The kitchen overlooking the private rear garden features granite counter tops, farm sink, and quality appliances. Adjoining the kitchen is a dining room with vintage wood dining table and seating for up to 6 people. There is also a bright and sunny breakfast area with large sliding glass doors opening onto the rear garden.

The outdoor living environment is equally enchanting. Relax or dine in the large private rear garden which features a gas BBQ and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy al fresco dining. Sip a glass of wine under the old olive tree in the front courtyard while watching the sun set beyond the peaks of the Sierra foothills.

Accommodations on the ground floor comprise a master suite with a king size bed, large closet, and glass sliding doors opening onto a private patio. The modern master bathroom has twin vanities, a toilet, and a walk-in shower with river pebble floor.

The other ground level bedroom features a Tempur-Pedic King bed and closet.

A family bathroom downstairs features a pedestal vanity, toilet and shower bath combination.

Upstairs is a huge bedroom with a queen size bed, a full size bed, and a twin bed. Because it can get pretty warm up there, we provide a portable A/C unit (in addition to the whole house A/C unit) to keep the entire loft nice and comfortable during the summer months.
For your comfort Maile's Cottage offers central air conditioning and heating.

The experience of staying in a super chic historic cottage while enjoying one of America's great national parks will make for a vacation you will never forget.

Cozy cottage close to Sequoia National Park
This cottage was the perfect place for our family to stay during our visit of the Sequoia and Kings Canyons parks. The yard is fully enclosed and was perfect to let our dog run around. Sequoia entrance is just 10 min drive away. Three rivers is a small town and we could walk to the coffee shop, restaurant and convenience store. We really enjoyed the food at every place we visited. The cottage is clean and comfortable. We would stay here again!

Great Family Friendly Rental
Had a great 3 night stay for our family of 5. Upstairs sleeping area was great for the kids, loved the movie selection for a family movie night after a day in the National parks and my kids loved playing in and around the house. Highly recommend for any family looking for housing.

Wonderful place to stay just outside Sequoia National Park
Maile's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay for our short trip to Sequioa National Park. It was a great location just outside the gates, and near lots of restaurants. We ever went swimming in the river a few miles away at the Slippery Rock State Park. Given the heat, the AC was a blessing, and kept us cool ever in temperatures over 106 degrees outside.

A charming home close to Sequoia NP in Beautiful Three Rivers
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Miele's cottage during our visit to Sequoia National Park. The cottage is very well appointed, and Robin's attention to detail is unmistakable. This is a vintage home with cosy comfort not too far from Sequoia National Park.

Perfect place to stay with family
We stayed here with my husband and 2 kids (9 & 10 yrs old). Kids absolutely loved having their own room upstairs. We loved the master bedroom with attached bathroom. The house is perfect! Has everything you can ever need. Robin even thought of providing these little "just in case you forgot" baskets full of little things you may need. Super clean and spacious. Love how close we were to food and grocery stores. Highly recommend this place!

Redbud Trail
The property could not have been any better. It was very ample, but we limited our stay to certain rooms as there were only 3 of us. The surroundings were nice and very peaceful. We were out for most of the day visiting the neighboring national parks but while at the property, it could not have been any better.

So cute and great location for visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks
This place is so cute! My kids LOVED the upstairs. There are lots of board games and other activities in the house. Wifi worked well. The kitchen is pretty nice (although we didn't cook). The location is great too. You can walk from the house to various coffee shops, grocery store, restaurants, etc. It is like 10-15 minutes from the house to the entrance to Sequoia National Park. All in all, it's a great place!

Perfect location, cozy house
This place was the perfect place for us while we explored sequoia national park, kings canyon and the surrounding areas. Cozy, comfortable house with space for my family of four to hang out together or have Our own space. It is also conveniently within walking distance to many restaurants and stores. We will definitely consider this place the next time we are in the area.

Responsive Host!
It's really hard to find a nice, reasonably-priced place for us with two adult kids, their spouses, and their dogs. We were so lucky to have found this cottage! Right in town but with a quiet backyard, great air conditioning (it was over 100 degrees outside), and great kitchen for gourmet cooking. Host was exceptionally responsive! Would definitely book again!
