Why Diana chose Three Rivers
We always say that if we researched a place to stay anywhere in the world, and traveled by planes, trains and automobiles and ended up at Crystal Cove we would feel it was worth it! Located at the entry to Sequoia National Park. Crystal Cove is unique because it features a lovely setting with a private island and 2 waterfalls. Our guests say they never sleep as well as they do at Crystal Cove because the king Tempur-pedic bed is so comfy and the roar of the river lulls them to sleep. Crystal Cove is a lovely, spacious studio with floor to ceiling windows that open to let in the breezes that waft up and down the Kaweah Canyon. There is a propane fireplace to keep you cozy in winter and air conditioning to cool in the heat of summer. Directly in front of the studio is a walking bridge leading to a private island where guests can sunbathe, swim, dine, and enjoy a campfire in season. The water in the river is crystal clear and makes for great swimming in the warmer months, or take a polar dip in the winter. We love to jump in the river when it's cold and count to 100 before scrambling out again. It's that fight or flight shock to your body that is supposed to be so healthy. I hope so, cause it is shrieking cold! Three Rivers offers River Rafting, Lake Fishing House Boating, Nature Photography or set up your easel and capture in this great location in paintings or drawings. There is no other spot in Three Rivers that features a private island surrounded by waterfalls. Where in the world would you ever find a place like this?

Notes
- Crystal Cove is a cozy studio with fireplace and floor to ceiling windows looking out over the river. Immediately in front of the studio is a patio with chairs and table that provides a lovely view of the island and the waterways. A walking bridge leads to a private Island on the Main Fork of the Kaweah River with two waterfalls, dining table and chairs and 2 Giant Sequoia Adirondack chairs are a comfortable place to enjoy the river and fire pit on the island in season. Steps and safety railing lead down 6 steps from island to the river and a swimming hole right in front. I love to sit on the steps and enjoy the view up and down river. If you believe in feng shui, being at the river with waterfalls on each side and the Main Fork of the Kaweah River in front will pull all the stress out of your bodies and send it down river. Enjoy!

It’s paradise!!!!
Very beautiful place.
We Didn’t want to leave!
This wonderful, open studio was so cozy. We had so many plans for being in the area, but since the shutdowns and quarantine we couldn’t even get into the sequoia national park. Luckily Diana had wonderful hikes right down the road to suggest with beautiful views of the park anyway. It was nice having our own little backyard on the river to spend time outdoors as well. This was such a wonderful, relaxing weekend. We only wished we had more time.
Thank you Emily, for your lovely review and for being great guests.
Hope to see you on a return visit to Crystal Cove.
After all, where in the world would you ever find a place like this?
Sincerely
Diana Glass
Three river weekend vacation
Great experience to get away from the city and loved the stay.
Spectacular spot.
We not only enjoyed ourselves, we were stunned that this wonderful place exists. The minute you open the gate you step into a private world. You will love the unique island and waterfalls, sitting on the river steps with a fire in the firepit - and stargazing. Here we were able to watch, feel, and enjoy. To anyone reading this, you're picking a spectacular spot to stay. Take a walk, smell the air, explore and know you made a great decision to be here now.
Very private, peaceful and relaxing.
Very private, peaceful and relaxing. Being on your own little island away from the hustle and bustle of life. Took a polar bear swim in the river. That was fantastic. Everyone needs to take the plunge. The accommodations were excellent. The hosts made us feel right at home. We really enjoyed our stay. Will recommend to our friends.
