What a beautiful home that is made for relaxing and enjoying the scenery from multiple decks. Great access to the national parks and the town of Three Rivers while still feeling secluded and comfortable. Very comfortable home with a very well stocked kitchen and grill made it a great stay!

The house is located right outside the entrance to the park in a great location. Everything was just as described and the property was inviting. Mark, the owner, was very helpful and provided suggestions for dining in town. We would choose to stay here again when coming back to Sequoia National Park

House is very spacious with modern amenities. Host was very welcoming, providing much info about Three Rivers' food and necessities prior to our arrival. It was a plus that there were snacks and wine as welcome gifts. If you are staying to visit SEKI, the deck has a great view of Moro Rock and the Sierras.

We stayed two days at the Shady Knoll and absolutely loved it. From the open communications with our host to the wild turkey that decided to pay us a friendly visit on our first morning. The house is wonderful, the location is not only convenient, but breathtaking. The host made everything easy and the house was exactly what we were looking for. If/when we make another stop at Sequoia, we’ll schedule our trip around the availability of this house.

This home is ideal for visiting the nearby parks. The views are breath-taking and the decks provide a comfortable place to sit and sip and marvel. We enjoyed the well-equipped and provisioned kitchen, the living area was ample and cozy and the bedrooms comfortable and large. Overall, we felt this home well-deserved its 5 star rating.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Anselmi

Host profile image
I have been living in Three Rivers for 10 years now so I know the area well. My back ground is in home construction, project design and re model. I have spent most of my life south of the grapevine in San Diego and Orange counties where I worked for over ten years at two very private Country Clubs. I find that experience very helpful for hosting this BnB.
I love living here in Three Rivers! My motto, as your host, is best described with a quote I like very much. "You can get anything you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want"!
I really do enjoy helping our guests get the most out of their time here in Three Rivers.
Book with us, you won't be disappointed!
Best regards. Mark

Why they chose this property

The 'Knoll' is all new inside and very comfortable.
The views of the mountains from the back deck and the town of Three Rivers from the front yard and deck are fantastic!
