About this property

Moon River Cottage • Loft • River Access • Fireplace • Peaceful • Near Sequoia

.Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway with direct river access. A magical healing place to relax by the beautiful river, enjoy a picnic and BBQ during the day, kickback and stargaze at night. This quiet river Guest House is close to restaurants, shops, grocery store, art studios and only 15 min from the entrance of Sequoia National Park as well as Kaweah Lake. Activities available nearby: rent a boat, kayak, jet ski, fishing, hiking, river rafting, mountain biking, horseback riding.
The space

The 5 acre property offers plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the peaceful mountain and river views. Kaweah River runs through back side most of the year.

The house is very clean and ready for you to occupy. The spacious master bedroom has a queen size bed and a wood burning fireplace. The loft upstairs has 2 queen size beds, making it a great fit for couples, families, or a small group of friends.

Extras: Washer and dryer, board games, plush towels and linens, shampoo and conditioner

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great place!

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

About the host

Hosted by ladan

Host profile image
We believe time in nature restores the mind and spirit — and we created this space for others to experience the same peace we feel here. We take pride in providing a clean, comfortable, peaceful stay

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Three Rivers for its peaceful beauty, wild nature, and gentle sound of the river. It feels secluded yet convenient — near markets, shops, art studios, and the entrance to Sequoia National Park. It’s the kind of place where mornings are quiet, nights sparkle with stars, and nature is always present.

What makes this property unique

Moon River Cottage is a rare find in Three Rivers: a cozy guest house with true private river access on a peaceful 5-acre property, just a short drive from the entrance to Sequoia National Park. Guests love that it feels tucked away in nature, yet it’s still close to restaurants, shops, and local art studios.

The cottage has a warm, cabin-style feel with a wood-burning fireplace, a loft with two queen beds, and plenty of space for couples, small families, or a few friends traveling together. Outside, you can relax on the deck, listen to the river, enjoy a BBQ, or stargaze at night under the clear mountain sky.

It’s a great fit for nature lovers who want a quiet, comfortable place to come “home” to after exploring Sequoia and Kings Canyon — with the added bonus of your own riverside spot to enjoy.
