We had a wonderful stay at Bettina’s place. The home was cozy, peaceful, very clean, and had everything we needed. We especially loved the beautiful surroundings and seeing the animals come right up near the porch — it made the whole experience feel very special. Bettina was kind, welcoming, and thoughtful throughout our stay, and even left us a sweet little gift. It was the perfect place to relax after exploring Sequoia National Park. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

A quirky rural cottage on a quiet farm, very handy for Sequoia National Park. The place was clean and comfortable. Rustic feel and quite basic, but the cottage has everything we needed and it felt appropriate for the surroundings. Bettina the host and Wally her dog were very welcoming!

hi Helen, I hope your trip to Yosemite has been wonderful so I just have a question for you so you use the word quirky in your review of my little place and I looked up the definition of quirky and it is lovely, but I don't think that most people understand that it just seems a little edgy so I'm not sure that most people would understand if you had a moment and could reword quirky to be "unique" and thoughtful. I would be very very grateful. I just think most people won't understand the word quirky have a safe and wonderful journey. It was lovely meeting you.

Property is spacious and comfortable, and pleasantly rustic - you're really staying on a farm. Air conditioning, shower and stove all worked well. Location was very convenient a little ways off the main highway. Saw tons of wildlife while staying here including quail, rabbits, turkeys and, around sunset, lots of bats! Our 3-year old really enjoyed staying here.

We were so fortunate to be able to book Bettina's place after another host canceled our booking at the last minute. Bettina responded promptly to our request and gave us excellent information about getting to her place. The stay itself was wonderful. The place was comfortable, quiet, and surrounded by nature with everything we could need. The location was convenient to the National Park and all the restaurants and shops we visited in Three Rivers were great. We would love to go again in the future and spend more time.

What a cozy and relaxing place! We loved staying at Cozy Times at BeeGreenFarm. The space is quiet and private, with a lovely nature vibe, and plenty big for the four of us (adults). Bettina is a gracious host. She offered great recommendations and was very responsive to our questions. She favored us with fresh herbs in the kitchen and a dried herb sachet and small jar of marmalade before we departed. Cozy Times was a lovely complement to our trip to Sequoia NP and we’d love to come for another visit in the future.

Cozy times was a very cute place for our family to stay. There were cows and turkeys, deer, and bunnies to see on the grounds. The place was comfortable and had all of the necessities for cooking. It was a short walk across the river and into town for a riverside dinner. Bettina was welcoming and more than accommodating and happy to provide tips for the trip to Sequoia. Communication about any needs was great and we were sent off with a very cute farm fresh care package! Would recommend staying here for a quiet and peaceful home base in Three Rivers!

We absolutely loved our stay at Cozy Times at BeeGreenFarm and our time with Bettina! What a special place, tucked away in the middle of a beautiful organic farm. Thank you, Bettina, for sharing your incredible fruits, tomatoes, and homemade marmalade with us, and for taking the time to sit and chat. We only wish we’d had even more time to hear your story and get to know you better.The cottage was perfect for our girls’ trip. We especially enjoyed relaxing in nature, whether on the screened-in porch or outside in the chairs, taking in the peaceful surroundings. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we especially loved the French press coffee maker each morning!Thank you for being such a thoughtful host, always responding so quickly to our questions and helping with anything we needed. The menus, maps, and local recommendations were incredibly helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable.We truly enjoyed our time at BeeGreenFarm and hope to return someday!

hi robert thank you so much for your lovely review. It was just great to meet your beautiful family and I appreciate how much you enjoyed the surroundings and the tasty herbs and I do hope that you adventure back during a different season. Apricots are middle to late June. Persian mulberries are late July early August. I hope you had a safe and easy drive home and that you're all nestled and cozy in your home.

Spend the evening in the front garden star gazing or take advantage of the outdoor bathtub in the back garden. Located near selicious restaurants. We highly recommend Casa Mendoza and Tony's Taverna. For shopping , you don't want to miss Kaweha Arts, which is full of local artists talents. Bettina is a gracious host and had so many wonderful recommendations.
