Convenient and close
The properties views were definitely priceless. The roaring of the river It’s so peaceful to hear. And it’s literally 2 miles to the entrance of the national park. The house is a little outdated, not enough living room space as far as seating. And the fireplace mantle on the floor is definitely a trip hazard. Almost broke a toe on it. And the driveway is a little steep, hope your tires have traction. Other than that the property had everything you would need extra blankets, pillows towels, etc. seamless check in and check out.

Excellent property and host!
We had a great stay here as we visited the Sequoia National Park! Extremely close to the park entrance and a great place for families. The kiddo made herself right at home with the books, games and movies. Cozy and with great views all around! The host was top notch, very easy to get along with and no problems. Couldn't say enough good things. Note to travellers: you may want to pick up groceries before you get to the house as there's limited selection in Three Rivers. Not a knock on the property, just a fact of being so close to the park and in the wilderness. We loved our stay here! Highly recommend!

Great experience
Our group of four stayed here to visit Sequoia Nat’l Park. The home is very clean and tidy, and it is in a beautiful area directly outside the park entrance. We were able to see a gorgeous sunset over Lake Kaweah during our drive in. Despite being hot in late August, the central AC and fans in every room kept it comfortable inside. A huge collection of interesting books and DVDs were available for indoor entertainment. We had an excellent stay.

We strive for clean and comfy. But this is a first. In over a thousand reservations, no one has ever complained about the age of the house before. The house is about 40 years old and very well maintained with new appliances. We spent and still spend a lot of time and money upgrading it on a continuous basis.

Sequoia Stay
This house was well-suited to visiting Sequoia National Park. The house is convenient to the Foothills entrance. The views are quite impressive and the sound of the river is peaceful. Property is clean but there were quite a few cobwebs in one of the bedrooms. The floors and beds are very squeaky. Overall it needs to be updated. The biggest issue is the mandate on the wall near the thermostat to not set it below 77 degrees. There are fans everywhere but when it is 100 degrees outside, you’re just pushing hot air around.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Sept 2023
We will check with the cleaner on the cobwebs. The "mandate? that the guest referred to is a reasonable request. It is cooler than we keep our residence and in keeping with the requests for conservation from Southern California Edison.

Fantastic mountain retreat; great views and peaceful surroundings
This mountainside retreat with wonderful views of both the mountains (up) and the river (down) was the perfect home base for our adventures in the area. The spacious house, with a "cabin feel" along with the thoughtful and eclectic decorating, had everything we needed (pots, pans, utensils, etc.) for a very comfortable and peaceful stay. The wrap-around deck was awesome as we enjoyed listening to the birds and the sound of the river in the valley. Each evening, after dinner, we would take a walk down the roads in the area. Beautiful. We stayed here with another couple, with whom we often adventure, while visiting the part of Sequoia N.P. that was open and also went up to Grant's Grove in King's Canyon to see the General Grant Tree (along with hundreds of other Sequoias.) We hope to return to CA in the future to see the parts of Sequoia N.P. that we were not able to see during this trip. And we will try to plan our trip so that we can stay at this mountain retreat again !!

Mediocre property, less than mediocre host
Good - easy checkin process Bad - A/C doesn't hold temperature (turns off automatically), so at night you'll wake up with it being 50° inside, despite setting it to 67 before sleeping. No conditioner, and body wash is heavily diluted with water so it doesn't even sud up. Park was closed due to weather precisely 14 days prior to our checkin. Because we didn't catch it in time (there's a 14 day cancellation window), the host refused to reschedule us and we would have to forfeit the entire cost of our stay. VRBO support was not helpful, saying we had to figure it out with the host. Host has issues with integrity, per the following quoted messages: "People come up here for all sorts of reasons, not just the park and I have no way of knowing why someone is coming. " - False. The property is 2 miles from the entrance of the national park, and after speaking to locals, it's painfully clear that this is the main, if not only reason, that people visit this property. Additionally, he stated "Regardless, this problem has been ongoing for more than the two week/1week cancellation period and you could have cancelled back then and VRBO would have refunded your payment." Also false, as per the official national park website and social medias, the closure occurred precisely 2 weeks prior to our checkin.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Apr 2023
IF you look at every other review this property has received, you'll see that something is wrong with this one. This guest made a reservation for a very busy Easter weekend way back in February. He was advised of the cancellation policy by VRBO when he made the reservation and VRBO required that we hold the house for him. He changed his mind 3 days before arrival and wanted to cancel. I advised him in writing. that I would let him cancel and refund any money I received if I was able to rent out the place to someone else for that weekend. He declined that and came but was obviously not happy and took it out in this review. The Heater/Air Conditioner work perfectly with a new thermostat installed a couple of months ago when the unit was serviced.

This was a great place to stay while visiting the Sequoia National Park. Just a few miles south of the park entrance makes travel there very simple. The house itself was pretty clean with a beautiful wrap around deck with incredible views. The only negative is I wish there were small washcloths available but we managed without. We enjoyed the immense DVD collection and the games available. Wifi worked really well. Would definitely recommend!

Response from VrboOwner on 25 July 2022
I don't know what bathroom supplies this guest would have liked, the possibilities are endless and it's not possible to anticipate what a guest might like. Also, we do not advertise coffee but we provide it as a courtesy. All the coffee, creamer and sweeteners are above the coffee maker. Hard to miss.

Perfect Secluded Cabin with Great Views
Our family of 5 throughly enjoyed this cabin! We loved being able to hear the river from the deck. The description was accurate. The cabin was well stocked with a gas grill, crockpot, coffee maker and washer and dryer. Added bonus was the Hummingbird feeder our back and watching them feed. We enjoyed the town of Three Rivers-especially the frozen yogurt shop (so good and great views of the river) as well as the Gateway Restaurant .
