RIVER::
THE RIVER AND THE 2 DECKS::
You will find a beautiful trail that lead you to our picturesque river with endless boulders!! There you will find two large decks over the river and sitting areas along the river. This area is absolutely breathtaking! The Southfork River is beautiful all year round. Like all natural rivers theĀ  Rivers has high seasons and low.Ā  In the spring and early summer it is high and fast moving. As summer wanes the river slows and lower but never completely dies up. We are fortunate to have water year round so you will always enjoy the soothing sounds of the river. Children must be chaperone at all time especially near the river.Ā  Please be cautious of current, especially during winter and early spring. (The 2 decks are located at the river area. The river area where the decks are is just a short strollĀ  from the house and shared with only one other home)

AROUND
The Sequoias and surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains are some of the best that California has to offer. Centrally located, the house is about twenty minutes drive to the main entrance to Sequoia National Park station and both Slick Rock recreation areas and Kingā€™s Canyon National Park, and just a 10 minutes from Three Rivers town restaurants and shops. A nature lovers paradise, there are plenty of areas to hike, bike, fish, and swim; and during the summer months, world-class white-water rafting and kayaking. Lake Kaweah, surrounded by the golden hills of Californiaā€™s lower Sierra Nevada mountains, is just five miles downstream and a hot spot for boating and fishing.

LOCATION::
Three Rivers, California. Nearest Airport: Yosemite/Fresno International (1 hr/70 miles)

Great place to enjoy Sequoia!
There are several things that made this a really great experience. First is Srey, the property owner/manager. I have stayed in several VRBOā€™s over the years, and she is by far the best communicator Iā€™ve interacted with. In addition, she provided a wealth of information about the area - restaurants, markets, things to do - that saved us a lot of time. The house itself is very clean, well maintained, and in a wooded, private setting. The nearby property, which Srey also owns, was not an issue. There were people staying there while we were there; we never heard or saw them. The river is a short walk away and can be heard from the house. The internet is good which was a pleasant surprise given the remote location. I look forward to staying here again.

OK but wouldn't come back
It was terribly difficult to find. Need better signage. Couldnt turn on the heater unless you disarmed the smoke detector. Bathroom faucets are backwards, toilet paper is behind you. What is that about? Sorry, but we have vacation rental property and I am much more particular about the experience our guests have. The water and decks in back were beautiful. The space was very clean.

Srey was incredibly responsive and informative. The retreat was spotless. Beautiful, but remote, location. Would be best if you plan on hanging out there for a good chunk of your trip - even not considering a line to get into the park the retreat is >1hr from General Sherman etc...

Perfect for Sequoia
We rented this is to have a place to sleep and hangout between our adventures in Sequoia National Park. This property is less than 15 min from the visitors center. The cabin is clean, the beds are comfortable and the property is beautiful! I highly recommend staying here. I advise checking in while itā€™s still daytime because the location is hard to find.

River Retreat Cabin
This little cabin made me feel I was away from civilization, exactly what I was looking for. There are a few houses around which is what I wanted! The three day stay was fenomenal, quiet, the sound of birds and the river flowing made it feel so relaxing. If youā€™re looking to escape the daily grind of the city, the his place is just for you! Sequoia National Park is also very close, like I said this place is very conveniently located!! Will definitely go back, thank you Srey!!

Relaxing getaway
The property was very clean and updated. The decks along the river were a couple minutes walk from house and a great place to hangout and relax. The main attactions in Sequoia were 45 minutes to an hour away. Town of three rivers had a couple nice restaurant and Visalia is a short drive and has a nice down town. Had a wonderful stay at the property and would rent it again.

Stayed here with a couple of friends for a weekend exploring Sequoia and Kings Canyon. The space was just right and the outdoor areas are well thought out and comfortable to use. The seating by the river was beautiful for morning coffee. Communication and check-in were easy. Would definitely stay here again!

Submerged in nature
Exceeded expectations from entering driveway to the grounds, river and inside the home. Clean, fresh and comfortable, with everything thoughtfully appointed. Best features was the setting- River with patio type dock, trees and quiet setting. Each night we sat under the stars, and the river was our background music. Very resoratiive.

Very remote
Other places around but cabin secluded. Clean inside. Path to river a bit overgrown, but decks on river were great. River was running a bit high but absolutely gorgeous! The river created a constant low roar in the background. Not far from the small town of Three Rivers and a short drive to the gate of Sequoia National Forest.

Quiet River Cabin
Wonderful hosts with accurate and thorough information to help guide us during our stay. While being off the beaten path in a cozy cabin with all the amenities needed for a long weekend retreat, the location was just a short drive to all that the National Parks in the area had to offer. After long days of hiking, we had a relaxing retreat to come back to and were comfortable in the cabin throughout our stay. The spring snow melt offered roaring rivers to sit by in the evenings and the isolation provided beautiful views of the stars at night. Would love to return again on our next visit to the Sequoia area!
