Great place inside Sequoia National Park

Property was perfectly located and large enough to handle my family of 6. The views were beautiful and the large patio accommodated good stargazing. Highly recommended!

Review

The house had everything we needed for our visit to Sequoia National Park. The area was nice, quiet and private. There was enough sleeping space for our group but the beds are very uncomfortable. The house definitely needs some work and updating. There was stickers on the sliding glass door, smiley face stickers on all the cabinets, part of the cabinet was broken off, sink in the bar area did not work and the upstairs of the house is unbelievably hot with no way to adjust the thermostat. Also, one of the latches on the sliding glass doors didn’t work. The house is beautifully built and has so much potential. It was nice to be within the gates of the park.

Property is nice and clean

But I really didn’t like that the beds are super hard. The pillows are super bulky and a lot of light comes from the big windows so for me it was very hard to fall asleep and to stay asleep. But overall, it was a good stay .

Great Location

A beautifully designed rustic lodge with vaulted rooflines and ceilings. The house is located inside the park and offers great views. The layout is quite open, though unfortunately, the master bath is located behind the kitchen, away from the bedrooms. The cabinets and fixtures throughout the house could use an update, but the kitchen appliances are fairly new. Many of the lights in the kitchen and living room were out, making the ambiance of the house quite dim.

We loved the size of the property and close to the entry. The home did not have any bed larger than a full. This was the only issue bit we made due and enjoyed the home!

Very spacious with plenty of rooms for our 4. Recommend trying to arrive during daylight hours as the drive is very steep and a little tricky to see in the dark.

Peaceful stay in Sequoia NP

We just finished a really peaceful, relaxing week at Sequoia National Park. The house was a good base located just inside the park. The weather being unseasonably hot made the house a little warm in the afternoon thanks to the huge windows, but it was much more comfortable after the sun went down. It’s not a luxury property, but if you want a convenient location with lots of character, this is a great place.

Amazing Views

We found these accommodations to be just what we were looking for while staying in Sequoia. The kitchen and living area were modern and spacious with beautiful views. There was plenty of privacy. The host was friendly and easy to contact. Being inside the park was a plus as we stayed for a week and did not have to re-enter each day. It was convenient to a Visitor Center, hiking trails, points of interest, and also shopping in Three Rivers. So happy we found this place for our visit to another national park.

A Fantastic Time with a Critical Hurdle

This charming property in Three Rivers is in the heart of Sequoia National Park. While it is well-lit and inviting, it could benefit from better management, as some details were overlooked. The most serious issue we encountered was the driveway leading to the main street. The road is steep and narrow, making proper maintenance of potholes absolutely essential. Unfortunately, those potholes turned into a nightmare when our van got stuck, leaving us completely immobile and blocking the narrow road entirely. This was an incredibly frightening experience, especially as the sun began to set and darkness loomed.When we reached out to the staff for help, we were met with disappointment. The lady quickly pointed out a disclaimer about the driveway on the site but showed little empathy. While she referred us to a towing company upon request, her hurried and indifferent response added to our frustration.We ended up involving the local police and the towing company, which took several hours and incurred expenses of 300 (cash), along with damage to the rental vehicle. These costs, along with the time and stress involved, could have been avoided with proper road maintenance. The tow driver even mentioned a similar incident that occurred the previous year. If you are traveling in a larger vehicle, such as a van, we strongly advise caution, as you may face similar challenges.

Very nice comfortable home within the park!

We were very pleased with this location and amenities. Served as a comfortable home base for our hiking and fishing activities all week. Nice views right from the deck. House is very comfortable and has all the amenities you'd expect (laundry, nice kitchen, grill, good a/c, nice bathrooms, satellite tv that we didnt even turn on, wifi internet, etc). Note the park and Three Rivers does not have Verizon cell signal - AT&T only - so the wifi was an important link back home. House owner was very accessible and greeted us upon arrival. I have no hesitation booking another stay!

Sequoia National Park vacation

Our cabin was beautiful. The location is incredible. The views breathtaking! There are however a few things that need attention at the cabin. Hot water was inconsistent. That was a bit challenging. The kitchen could use a good cleaning and updating of the appliances and such. It’s an older cabin with some old charm but there’s definitely a need for some overall cleaning and upkeep. I know it’s a full time rental and it probably gets a lot of west and tear but I think upkeep is quite important.

2 nights stay

First, the house is nice but the parking area is narrow and small, it would be hard for a big van to maneuver, its better to drive a mini suv or sedan. Second, utensils is not complete such as pans, spatulas, ladles. Bring a rice cooker if you eat rice. Third, I slept in one of the rooms that needs an upgrade for the mattress. I suggest, attic floor should have a wall to wall carpet just to minimize the sound of the footsteps. Lastly, roads from where we stayed, which is the Three rivers, is under construction en route to the main attractions. We were asked to drive 2 hours to the other side of the National Park which is the Kings Canyon for us to see all the main attractions. Overall, it was a very tiring trip but had a pleasant stay.

Do not stay here!

Upon check in the cleaning service was still there. The house thermostat read 98 degrees! After the cleaning service left I found a dirty coffee maker, a dishwasher full of dishes and the kitchen floor not swept. Four hours later when I wanted to just sleep after a day of travel the house only cooled down to 91 degrees! I was unable to sleep under such circumstances. I was there for my daughters wedding and on the wedding day when we had to take showers there was no running water!!!! We had to shower at my daughters place. I was there for only three days and could not wait to leave! It was such a disappointment! There was no greeting, no instructions left. The hospitality on the owners part was terrible since it was nonexistent. Save yourself the money, frustration and disappointment and look for a different house.
