About this property

Escape to Winter Cottage near Sequoia Nat’l Park with private EV and Fireplace.

If you are seeking a well designed and outfitted home base for your couple’s retreat then Redtail Cottage should not be missed. It is a “Guest Favorite” with five star reviews given by nearly every guest since it first listed in 2018. The Cottage setting is leafy and beautiful, close to the village shopping but remote and just a few miles up the road from Sequoia National Park. Guests tell of breakfasts on the private deck while watching quail families and bunnies romp. The awesome Cal-King bed in the spacious bedroom is wonderfully comfortable and the high end all cotton linens and black out curtains guarantee a fabulous rest. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the expected accessories: stove, oven, microwave, full size frig, dishwasher, coffee/tea service area plus spices and all the cookware and utensils you’d need. There are two wall AC/heat units on separate thermostats and even your own private washer and dryer with all the supplies. There is a darling English replica propane fireplace for colder seasons, two smart tvs and even your private Tesla series 2 EV charger (TeslaTap adaptor is in the Cottage for universal charging). The free wi-fi is yours alone so you can download and share your pictures with friends and family and sign in to your video accounts. The cell service is also good, so work or play Redtail Cottage offers you all of the comforts of a well designed one bedroom/one bath separate home in 740 square feet.

Comfortable bed and roomy cabin and very quiet. The location was great for visiting the Sequoias, maybe a 10 min drive to the gate. Well stocked kitchen and cabin. Everything you need for your stay. It was nice and cool inside when we arrived. Quick response from our hosts whenever we had a question. There we no sidewalks to walk around the town at night, but this is true of the whole town of Three Rivers as far as I could tell. We had a great stay. I would not hesitate to stay again. The destination charger was great to have!!!

A Great Stay for Visiting Sequoia

We enjoyed our stay here in Three Rivers. The cottage was as described - clean, cozy, and well stocked with any item one could possibly need. The location was peaceful and close to Sequoia NP. Communication with the owners was easy, and information was readily available in a provided binder. I would recommend this place to family and friends.

Fantastic cabin right next to Sequoia National Park

We stayed in the cabin for three nights, and found it to be a fantastic place to stay. The cabin was clean and comfy. It was well equipped with everything that you could want for your stay. And it's located within a few miles of Sequoia National Park, so you can easily go hiking and exploring every day during your stay. The owners were super, and made sure we had a great time. This is definitely the place that we'll stay during our next trip to Sequoia.

About the host

Host profile image
I am a retired house designer and have lived in Three Rivers since 1986. We built Redtail Cottage in 2009 as a guest house for our parents who lived there until 2017. After a transformation in 2019 to a premier vacation rental Redtail Cottage is available to VRBO guests seeking an exceptional home base for hiking Sequoia National Park.

I am a California native growing up in Long Beach/Lakewood. I studied at UC Berkeley and UC Irvine where I earned a bachelors degree in Social Science before attending graduate school in business at UC Irvine. I love art and travel and my two vacation rentals reflect that.
(see also my Redtail House VRBO 2569704).

Why they chose this property

Three Rivers is a small village with friendly people situated at the entrance to Sequoia National Park.

What makes this property unique

Guests tell of breakfasts on the private deck while watching quail families and bunnies romp on the private road; and dinners watching the sunset after grilling on the front porch just outside of the kitchen door. The Cal-King bed is wonderfully comfortable and the high end linens and black out curtains guarantee a fabulous rest after long hikes in the National Park. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, oven, full size frig, dishwasher, coffee/tea service area and all the expected accessories with helpful spice selections. There are two AC/heat units on separate thermostats and even your own private washer and dryer with all the supplies. There is a darling English replica propane fireplace, two smart tvs and even a Tesla series 2 EV charger (TeslaTap adaptor is in the cupboard for universal charging).
