About the host
Hosted by Kelly McCullough
Hello! We’re Kelly and John, local hosts in Three Rivers, where we’re raising our kids and caring for the homes we share with guests. We love creating comfortable, memorable stays and hope you enjoy discovering the special details of this place.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood offers the best of both worlds: easy access to town for coffee, meals, and groceries, and a peaceful setting surrounded by foothills and mountain views. It feels private and serene, with a welcoming, safe community that makes it easy to settle in and unwind.
What makes this property unique
This home is a rare mid-century gem built in 1966, and it has been thoughtfully cared for to preserve its original character while making it exceptionally comfortable for modern stays. From the moment you arrive, it feels different from a typical rental , warm, grounded, and intentionally designed to be lived in, not just slept in.
What truly sets the home apart is its layout. The three-bedroom design offers excellent separation and privacy, while the open living and dining areas make it easy to gather, relax, and spend meaningful time together. Whether you’re traveling as a family, a couple, or a small group, the flow of the space allows everyone to feel comfortable and at ease.
The outdoor amenities elevate the experience year-round. In summer, the private pool becomes the heart of the stay, perfect for swimming, lounging, and slow afternoons under the sun. In cooler months, many guests love using the pool for refreshing cold plunges before warming up in the cedar barrel sauna. The sauna is especially popular after long days exploring Sequoia National Park or simply as part of a daily reset ritual.
Unlike many rentals, this home sits in a safe, peaceful neighborhood surrounded by open land and foothill views, offering a sense of calm and privacy while still being just minutes from town. You can easily grab groceries, coffee, or dinner before heading into the park, then return to a setting that feels serene and removed from crowds.
Finally, the home reflects its artistic roots. Original artwork and mid-century details remain throughout the space, creating a lived-in, soulful atmosphere that guests consistently comment on. Combined with thoughtful hosting, quality linens, and carefully chosen amenities, the result is a stay that feels personal, relaxed, and genuinely special, a place guests return to again and again.
