Retro River House! Waterfront, Firepit🔥, BBQ, Gameroom, 1 min to Sequoia Park.
The Retro House on the River has Amazing Views of the Kaweah River from the house! You will go back in time and experience a one of a kind Retro House that has been renovated with that 1960s Retro Flair. The Retro House sits above the Main Fork of the Kaweah River. The view from the house are breathtaking and unbelievable as the water cascades down from the Pumpkin Hallow Bridge to just behind the house to a calmer / gentler flow which is perfect for swimming or fishing. You will make some awesome memories at this unique and family-friendly place. The size of the property is 6 acres extending to the pumpkin hollow bridge, so you have so much private river frontage space to explore. Many locals hail this as the Best swimming hole in Three Rivers. The house is only 1 minute from the Sequoia National Park Entrance Gate, so it is very convenient for those traveling to the Park.
The space :: 3 Bedrooms /2 Bathrooms ( 3 Queen beds - 1 per bedroom, 1 Futon in the living room :: Game Room :: sitting area over looking river :: Propane BBQ :: Ping Pong Table :: Foosball Table :: PRIVATE RIVER :: Beach ⛱ Area :: Firepit 🔥 :: Pool Table :: Arcades :: String lights at night :: 2 Smart TVs
THE VIBE:: Perfect for people seeking inspiration and renewal in nature. Come and relax in mother's nature and see all the abundance wildlife. Enjoy the beautifully landscaped property with stunning rock work. Cook outside with the propane BBQ and sit on our patio while connected to nature.
THE HOUSE:: This home is the ultimate Retro River House with big windows overlooking all the glorious River 😀 views. This home sits on 6 acres with a beautiful walkway all around. Upon entering the home, you will be greeted by beautiful RETRO details all over that can only be found in this home. All furnishings are all new, which set that "mountain modern" vibe for this home in the woods. It has 3 Bedroom and 2 bathrooms, and also a Game Room Room. All spaces have been curated with modern furniture, creating a calm and relaxing environment to sleep that stress away.
THE RIVER The Main Fork Kaweah River is beautiful all year round. Like all natural rivers, the Rivers has high seasons and low. In the spring and early summer, it is high and fast moving. As summer wanes, the river slows and lowers 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 times, especially near the river. Please be cautious of current, especially during winter and early spring.
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 King’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 California’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)
BEST TIME TO VISIT:: Year round

Charming property and great location for exploring the national park. Great communication and check in process. The kitchen is a bit small if you plan on cooking but there is plenty of space for a family of 5-6. Great river side backyard without a ton of river noise. Bring your own coffee setup if you're a serious coffee drinker but otherwise amenities are well appointed.

Beautiful place to stay, if you have Family of 4or more best place
This retro house was perfect for our visit to the Sequoia National Park. The kids loved all the games and we loved the view of the river from the spacious deck. The host was extremely responsive and even provided restaurant recommendations nearby. Would highly recommend staying here to anyone planning a visit the Sequoia National park.
Our family loved this property. The outdoor area was amazing and we ate one dinner al fresco (there were mosquitos so next night without a breeze, we opted for inside). Our son loved the mini pool table. I would have loved a king sized bed in one of the rooms and maybe a table on both side of the bed (had to put glasses and water bottle on the floor), this would provide options for larger adults, but the rooms were comfortable and as described. Texted once or twice with the owner and they were very responsive. Would have like more silverware, but realized we never used the dishwasher so maybe more forks were there, but we never saw them! Oops! The oven was funky - very deep, not wide which threw me when I first saw the tray to make our garlic bread for dinner. Would have loved a place to prop tired feet while watching a movie - the dangers of 30k steps in one day at the park. The drive to Kings Canyon involved 1.5 hour drive along very twisty and windy roads, so be prepared if trying to visit both parks. Overall we LOVED staying here and would definitely recommend this place to others who want a gorgeous view and to be very close to the parks. Kids wanted to try out the rope swing into the river, but it was going very fast in the spring and a bit too dangerous for me! If this is available, I'd stay here!

Thank you ao much! It was an absolute pleasure getring to host you and your family.
Doesn’t get any closer to Sequoia National Park than this. Great view and great location. House is clean with plenty of room. AC units are a bit loud but even in the heat of summer it’s possible to cool bedrooms to allow the units to be turned off for the night.
You can’t beat this location if you are going to Sequoia National Park. Our kids loved the game room, and my husband and I loved the river! Perfect resting spot after a day of adventures.
This home is definitely retro (some items frankly just old). That said it's a fun home and great for families. The location is scenic and extremely convenient, 2 minutes from Sequoia entry. The checking information and communication ahead of time regarding attractions, local shops/stores was extremely helpful. The check-in/checkout process was easy and the host was very responsive and insured we had everything we needed for our stay.
Fabulous location 1 mile from Sequoia National Park entrance on a river where we relaxed for hours, nearby restaurants and supply stores. Also enjoyed all the games.
My family had such a great stay at this house. The owner was extremely communicative and responsive. The house was a great location from the National Park and my family really enjoyed coming back after a long day in the park. The games were a hit by the kids and the house had everything in order to make a good meal after eating out for so many days.

Thank you so much Page. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your wonderful family. Thank you again for being such wonderful guests.
The property is delightful. The deck outback watching the river is really great. The owner sent us a lot of email links to different things you can do in the area and was super helpful. I would definitely recommend this place.
Great location about a mile from Sequoia with a beautiful outdoor living space on the river as well as very fun retro decor on the interior! Beware of rodents etc though given proximity to the Sierras here. Unfortunately awoke to mouse droppings all over the kitchen table despite minimal in and out time at the home!! Owner quickly responsive and we also had a nice text from the house cleaner upon initial arrival. Overall a great stay, but be very mindful of limiting entry/exit time to keep pests out!!!

Thanks for your review! We're glad you loved the location and decor. Sorry about the mouse droppings, but we sent someone over right away to take care of it once you told us. We do our best to rodent-proof, but sometimes guests leaving doors open can let them in. Appreciate your feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay overall! Thanks for understanding the challenges of a rural area.
Unfortunately, we didn’t realize when we booked the property, that the property was a duplex. We also didn’t realize the washer and dryer would be shared and located outside our unit. Ugh. Comfortable for short stays. Dated but retro nice. Water pressure is low and water temperature changes in the back shower kept you on your toes. Quick response from property management! Construction happening right next door. Beautiful views. Having the stream out your back door was awesome. All in All, must stay for convenience!!

Thanks for your review.
I'd like to clarify that our property is not really a duplex but a single home with three bedrooms and two baths. The separate unit mentioned is actually a casita/adu that is not attached to the main house which is a distinct and separate property as theres a fence that devides the two. I hope this clears up any confusion.
The house is perfect, clean and with everything you need if you want to spend some days surrounded by nature. It has beautiful views and a private beach to the river just below the house, super relaxing! It is super refreshing to swim and play with the kids too! Lots of things to do!! Billar, barbecue, arcades, ping pong and restaurants a couple of minutes away :D The sequoia national park entrance is only half a mile away too! The owners are really nice and attentive people. They give lots of useful and detailed information.
Definitely would stay here again and recommend it to everyone!!!!!

Thank you so much Jose for such a kind review. It is truly an honor having you and your family here. Thanks again for being such wonderful guests.
The property manager and the cleaning contact were instantly responsive and so helpful. They went above and beyond. The place was clean and had all the items it advertised. It was the perfect place for our family vacation. Our kids were just old enough (youngest 8), that they followed our direction not to go to the river on their own. If you have younger kids that might go out on their own, that is something you would want to consider. Would definitely stay there again!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! We're grateful for guests like you who make hosting such a joy! Thank you again for being such wonderful guests.
We visited for three nights to go to Sequoia National Park & Kings Canyon National Park.
This house is a few minutes from Sequoia entrance. Once you enter the park, you have approx a 45 min drive up the mountainside to get to the popular park sites. The kids enjoyed the duck and Simpsons video game inside. This listing is for half of a house. The other half is a separate listing. There is a shared washer/dryer that can be accessed by both sides of the house through the backyard. There were guests on the other side while we were there and it did not bother us. We only saw their car. Did not see or hear them.

"Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience at our property!
To clarify, we'd like to note that the two homes are actually separate, standalone buildings, not attached or shared, providing a peaceful and private experience.
Delighted to hear the kids enjoyed Alfred the duck and the Simpsons video game.
Thanks again for choosing our home and for your thoughtful review! We hope to welcome you back someday.
If I close my eyes, I can still hear the rushing river as it threads its way through the massive boulders creating that magical sound that stays with you for a lifetime.
LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. This adorable retro house is SO close that our adult kids could WALK to the hiking trails just within the National Park.
Also, you can walk to the nearby Lodge/ restaurant which is important because parking can be hard to find.
But it is the outdoor space at this house that I love the most. Large deck overlooking the river and access to the beach below – put your feet right in that water or swim if you are so inclined.
Every minute I was not on the hiking trail or looking at the trees – I was on that back deck soaking in nature. Overhead all sorts of birds flew by – the sound of the river, the smell of mountain air- PERFECT to relax. I spent a good part of the day in the hammock.
The house is roomy – ALL the bedrooms are a good size. I love the retro look – they have a game room which is amazing for after dark, when you are tired from hiking all day.
The manager was awesome, everything was smooth – easy and she gave us lots of very useful information.
I highly recommend it for a fun stay at a great location.
