About this property

Perfect Family Retreat on 24 Acres with River and Enchanting Location


Redbud Trail Retreat is nestled among the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, on the South Fork of the Kaweah River. This property offers the utmost in privacy and seclusion while being less than 10 min. from the quaint town of Three Rivers & 15 min. from Sequoia National Park.

The large 5500 sq ft residence is set on 24 magnificent wooded acres of blue oaks and redbuds overlooking its own unique piece of the South Fork of the Kaweah River. Keep an eye out for the local deer, stroll our olive grove or just marvel at the majestic mountain vistas.

The property is comprised of a two-story house with the utmost in luxury and comfort with an adjacent cozy cottage. Central heating/cooling and a flexible mix of rooms with private patios ensures privacy, comfort and accommodation for any combination of guests. The newly remodeled kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances ready for the heartiest of meals. Adjacent is a dining area seating up to 12, central to a generous and lofty living area with wood burning fireplace and veranda with breathtaking views of Blossom Peak. The outdoor living environment is equally enchanting with a fabulous lagoon pool, fireplace and rustic outdoor dining area with gas BBQ - all with a beautiful river view.

The ground floor also has a master suite with a king bed and a master bathroom with large jetted bathtub, generous shower, Swedish Sauna, separate toilet and bidet, walk-in closet and an extra vanity area. On the ground floor there is another bedroom with a Tempur-Pedic queen-size bed and outdoor seating area. The third ground floor bedroom includes two queen beds, sitting area and private patio. There is also a full bathroom, a full laundry room with state of the art appliances and a separate library room.

Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, one with a Tempur-Pedic Queen bed and one with a king bed. Both have walk-in closets and private balconies. There is a central bathroom with separate vanity area.

The adjacent cottage is completely private and only steps away from the main house. It offers rustic charm, knotty pine ceilings and walls, and a wood burning stove. It also has central heating and air conditioning. There is a queen bed in a nook area, a lounge dining area, living room with convertible sofa, a separate bedroom with two twin beds, a veranda and a bathroom.

Although the residence is superb, it is the outdoors that is the big attraction. Sip coffee on the huge veranda overlooking the lagoon style pool and watch the river running below, or enjoy meals on the rustic barbecue deck, marveling at the majestic mountains. In winter, huddle by the outdoor fireplace sipping wine while gazing at the incredible night sky. In summer, relax by the pool, dipping in to cool off now and then. Take nature walks on the property through the blue oaks, along the river frontage or through the olive grove, all the while being on the look-out for our friendly deer.

You will love vacationing at Redbud Trail Retreat so much it may be difficult to tear yourself away to see Sequoia National Park and other attractions.

If you can leave your compound, the area offers an abundance of activities year round.

Beautiful property, far off the beaten path. Children would have to be very well-supervised here, as there are plenty of serious hazards, even close in to the house.

Tim, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us. I'm not quite sure what you are referring to. I wish you would have alerted me during your stay, if it was something that could be addressed. We have had hundreds of families stay at Redbud Trail Retreat and I've never gotten a report of a child being injured on the property. That said, I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad your friend group enjoyed their get-together. ~Robin~

Great time at the Redbud Trail Retreat

Great location that allowed us to spend time in the nearby Sequoia and King's Canyon National Parks. Lots of space for the entire group of us to eat together and enjoy the scenery. The pool was just the right size to relax in after a long day's hike. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Robin was extremely communicative and endlessly accommodating- she even set our group up with a vehicle to negotiate the creek passage, which was flooded from the recent rains. The property itself was perfectly private and even more scenic than the pictures showed. Would definitely stay at Redbud again.

wonderful place for a family week together

The house was absolutely wonderful for our group of 13 from ages 4-late 60s. We had plenty of space to spread out. There was a separate cottage for the family with two small children. The kitchen is beautifully outfitted and perfect for group cooking. The sunset reflecting in the pool is to die for.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
Thank you, Iris, for taking time to share a bit of your experience at Redbud Trail. The kitchen is my favorite part of the house because of its expansiveness, light, and abundance of gadgets, appliances, and specialty items (like the ice machine, the second set of sinks & the separate warming oven). It is perfect as you say, for conjuring up great meals for large groups. So glad you all enjoyed your week! ~Robin~

Unbelievable property with so much to see. Great house with plenty of space.

We had a family in town to see Sequoia national park and get away for a few days. The house provided us with the opportunity to relax at the pool and not leave. Or quick access to venture into town. Eat at the ol Buckaroo if your looking for a great view and food. Nice gem in town.

Thank you Robin so much for the wonderful stay at the Redbud house! Are stay was so nice ,laying out and swimming at the pool was very relaxing! While the guys spent the days fishing and exploring! The house was so big huge bedrooms and plenty of space to roam! Wish we could have stayed longer! Hot tub was great(although it could have been a lot hotter)and the game room was fun!Had a great time will be back!

Andrea, It was great to meet you and your family! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for us. You guys got the whole nine yards as far as the weather during your stay. You just never know what it's going to be like in the late Spring. It's my fault that the hot tub wasn't hot enough...it was so hot just prior to your arrival that I turned it down thinking it probably wouldn't be used. I apologize for that. Since you guys are from Santa Cruz, you're not too far away...so, I hope you can steal away on a long weekend. ~Robin~

exceptional house with wonderful surroundings

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the large and cozy house! The house is extraordinarily equipped - everything we needed was there, we could even have BBQ at Christmas Eve. After hikes in Sequoia NP you can relax yourself in the sauna, hot tub or the spacious livingroom with the (real-wood) fireplace - no worries there is super fat-wood provided to ignite it, it's fool-proof. We are looking forward to coming back soon!

Rolf, It was an honor to host your family over the holidays, especially with you coming all the way from Germany!

After an extensive search for an ideal property for a small professional retreat for 3 nights, we selected this property for its location, beauty, size, number of private bedrooms, gathering space, kitchen, views etc. The property has a wonderful Cabin feel, fabulous views, private, cozy, sparkling clean. It met and exceeded everyone's expectations and, without a hesitation, our group consensus is we highly recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Robin

Host profile image

Originally from Australia and have been in the hotel business for many years, so you can count on us to have everything just right. We love the outdoors and discovered the Three Rivers area while looking for a private 'off the grid' property to retreat to periodically from our busy schedules - a place to be able to enjoy with family and friends with easy access to the great outdoors of the Sierra Nevada.

Why they chose this property

Redbud Trail Retreat is one of those rare properties in the Three Rivers area that has vast views, river frontage , seclusion, and absolute peace and quiet.

What makes this property unique

Located near the base of dramatic Blossom Peak, the house enjoys seclusion, privacy and inspirational views of mountains and the river valley. A house offering extreme comfort, space and amenities. Your only neighbor is a family of deer that occasionally graze outside the kitchen window or the wild turkeys that wander by. The olive grove and the river are always enjoyable for a stroll.
This property has a certain energy about it that you 'drop into' the minute you arrive.
We Love It!
