Quiet, beautiful property on a creek. Pet friendly. Nicely appointed. Excellent communication with owner, easy check in and check out. Great location for day trips to sequoia and kings canyon. Would stay again.
The space was great for our family of 5 and our dog. Quiet and in a nature setting, the cottage was a great base for our explorations of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed a peaceful and quiet stay — that’s exactly what Moon River Retreat is all about. You’re welcome back anytime :)
Located off the beaten track by a river, this cabin had three queen sized beds making it very comfortable for three senior ladies. It is also about 30 minutes from Sequoia National Park, and a great place to return to after a long day.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this property. The location is very convenient to local restaurants and to Sequoia National Park. The house has everything you need and also has access to the river which my kids enjoyed.

Thank you Kathy for your wonderful review and sharing your experience. I am happy you and the kids had a wonderful time. Come back any time :)
This was just what we were looking for.
Something close to the national parks but yet a nice quiet place to stay.
Being right outside of the town of three rivers it is close to restaurants and the food store but is off the beaten path so is very quiet and private.
We had a great stay.

It was the perfect size for my family of 4. It was nice and quiet. We had a good time and the river behind the house just hearing it alone was peaceful.
Love the property. Very clean, nice and cozy. The river in the back of the house was beautiful. The owner was very nice and helpful. Our family enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much Trang for your shining review. I am glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. It would b my pleasure for you all come back any time.
The property is spacious, beautiful, very close to the river, and close to the entrance of Sequoia National Park. Check in was very easy. Owner communicates really fast. The place has two fireplaces, a full kitchen - equipped with what you need. The location is very relaxing as you can hear the sound of the river while you eat breakfast and while you sleep. Will definitely go back.

Stayed while on a trip to explore the Sequoia Forrest. The location was perfect. Nestled away from main roads you feel very secluded. Great place to unwind and enjoy nature. Lots of small wildlife so perfect for nature lovers. The cabin had everything we needed. Was exactly as pictured and very clean. Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay in this home. The hosts were quick to respond and very accommodating. The home is very clean, nicely decorated, close to the very small village in 3 Rivers and to the entrance of the National Park (of course it’s a bit of a drive into the park from the entrance to see the main sighs). I would highly recommend this home

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and sharing your experience at my home and in Three Rivers and for recommending my home. Please come back any time, it was a pleasure having you :)
The property is very close to Sequoia National Park, which is what we wanted. We traveled as a family of five (2 parents, 3 kids), and the space was perfect! The kids loved the loft, and my husband and I had our own room to relax in. Everything we needed was there so we could cook or meals in the morning and evening when we weren't at the National Park. The air conditioners worked well and kept us comfortable when it was the mid 90s outside. The space was very clean and cozy and we enjoyed our time.

About the host
Hosted by ladan
We believe time in nature restores the mind and spirit — and we created this space for others to experience the same peace we feel here. We take pride in providing a clean, comfortable, peaceful stay
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Three Rivers for its peaceful beauty, wild nature, and gentle sound of the river. It feels secluded yet convenient — near markets, shops, art studios, and the entrance to Sequoia National Park. It’s the kind of place where mornings are quiet, nights sparkle with stars, and nature is always present.
What makes this property unique
Moon River Cottage is a rare find in Three Rivers: a cozy guest house with true private river access on a peaceful 5-acre property, just a short drive from the entrance to Sequoia National Park. Guests love that it feels tucked away in nature, yet it’s still close to restaurants, shops, and local art studios.
The cottage has a warm, cabin-style feel with a wood-burning fireplace, a loft with two queen beds, and plenty of space for couples, small families, or a few friends traveling together. Outside, you can relax on the deck, listen to the river, enjoy a BBQ, or stargaze at night under the clear mountain sky.
It’s a great fit for nature lovers who want a quiet, comfortable place to come “home” to after exploring Sequoia and Kings Canyon — with the added bonus of your own riverside spot to enjoy.
