THE RIVER AND THE 2 DECKS::
You will find a beautiful trail that lead you to our picturesque river with endless boulders!! There you will find two large decks over the river and sitting areas along the river. This area is absolutely breathtaking!
The Southfork 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 lower 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 time especially near the river.  Please be cautious of current, especially during winter and early spring.
(The 2 decks are located at the river area. The river area where the decks are is just a short stroll  from the house.)

AROUND::
The Sequoias and surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains are some of the best that California has to offer. Centrally located, the house is about 15 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

Great place to stay

My family really enjoyed staying here. It was so close to the Sequoia National Forest and the house was beautiful with a river running close by. My kids loved the arcade games and surrounding area to explore, my husband and I loved the patio and eating our meals outside and sitting by the river drinking coffee.

Sequoia Vacation Retreat

Family vacation fo the Sequoia Natl Park - home in a great location to the park. Plenty of room for a comfortable stay with a family group of 6 ( or even more). Nicely furnished and all amenities in the kitchen were a wonderful perk. Outdoors was wonderful - kids loved going down to the water. Owners were very helpful - we would definitely do this again.

Beautiful and relaxing!

The property was very clean and in a beautiful location. Easy access to great hiking a few miles farther up the road, and only 15mins into town and restaurants. We used the house as a base for a nearby weekend event and didn't have as much time to enjoy scenic views of the river from their two decks, but I recommend bringing a good book and glass of wine to unwind and let the sounds of nature put a smile on your face. The owner was very responsive and wifi worked great!

Great Home in a Beautiful Spot

The home was really nice and the property and surrounding land were even better than the pictures. Our kids really liked the game room and we were able to have fun down at the creek. Owners were great and helpful leading up to and during the trip. Internet is pretty slow due to how remote the property is, so I’d recommend taking advantage of being isolated and just not plan on relying on internet access much. I’d definitely recommend this to any families looking for a relaxing getaway, with good access to nearby activities

River Retreat- Comfortable and Clean

Our family of ten enjoyed our stay at the modern river retreat while visiting Sequoiah National Park! House is clean, light, spacious, and beautifully renovated inside and out. Owner's strong communication enhanced the stay, and it was clear that much effort had gone into stocking the house in a manner to ensure comfort and ease- complete with simple to follow posted instructions to ensure a successful and safe stay. The kids really enjoyed the games in the sunroom: foosball and arcade style video games! We saw deer while on property. One adjustment to the listing is that the extra 2-person bedroom is equipped with a full-sized bed rather than a bunk bed as listed. There is a bunk bed though as listed in one of the other bedrooms, and it is larger than a twin on each level, large enough to fit two children on each level of the bunk.

About the host

Hosted by Srey Vivo

Host profile image
We love traveling to the beautiful Sequoia National Parks so much that we had to have a home in Three Rivers. We are very outdoorsy and adventurous. We like hiking, kayaking, river rafting, hanging out at the lake, exploring nature, etc..., and so Three Rivers was the perfect location to accomplish all these things, and more. When we began remodeling this House we took a lot of pride in making it special. We didn't just paint over the cedar wood siding, but we meticulously stained it. We took our time to put together something special in the property that even though your in natures elements, you can feel safe, clean, comfortable and cozy in a newly remodeled property on the River. We put all new Furnishings from the couches, chairs, tables, beds, everything. We installed crystal white quartz countertops. We just put in new gravel all around the perimeter. It is something amazing and absolutely beautiful

Why they chose this property

This property is absolutely amazing. It has many trails, with streams, ponds, and falls. It is literally a slice of paradise.

What makes this property unique

This property is truly amazing. It has two amazing decks overlooking the South Fork of the Kaweah River. (which always has water flowing through it year round) This property is very unique because as the drought has affected California for the past 3 years and many river homes dry up, well we are fortunate to say they we have NEVER dried up (knock on wood) because of where we sit on the South Fork River. So if you are staying with us be assured that anytime of the year that you will experience water flowing through our River on our property.
