Sequoia River Cabin ~ Romantic Rustic Retreat on Kaweah River ~ Close to Sequoia
The Sequoia River Cabin is nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, in a quaint hamlet known as Three Rivers, Gateway to the Sequoias. We are just 5 minutes (5 miles) to the Ash Mountain entrance of Sequoia National Park. Our cabin is ideal for 2 Adults only ~ No Children and No Pets.
Our cute and cozy cabin has a well-equipped kitchen and a propane BBQ off the back deck. The cabin is ideal for a couple. The rear deck is just steps away from the Main Fork of the Kaweah River.
We are conveniently located on Sierra Drive, the main road through town, with the main fork of the Kaweah River just steps from the back deck. The private river setting allows for a true romantic getaway. There is a fire pit by the river to enjoy an evening fire and we do supply firewood.
Relax in the Sundance Spa / hot tub / jacuzzi on the back deck, listen to the sounds of the river and marvel at the Blue Heron and various duck species that call the river home. You just might see some deer at the river's edge.
In the evening, relax in the lounge chairs by the river and be mesmerized by the spectacular star-studded night sky.
In springtime, you can sit on the deck and catch a glimpse of the whitewater rafters and kayakers as they make their way down the river.
We offer plush towels, quality linens and we also provide bath amenities for our guests. DirecTV and high-speed Spectrum WiFi are available as well.
This historic cabin was originally built as a fishing retreat decades ago and has evolved a number of times since then. In the '70s it was Little Rainbow, the workshop of our local silversmith. After that it became a private residence, and later a trendy coffee house named The Cabin. The Cabin later became The Buckaroo, serving hamburgers and sandwiches.
IMPORTANT ITEMS TO KNOW:
TRAVEL INSURANCE It is essential for our guests to have travel insurance. We are in a high Fire Severity Zone. Fire season is typically August-October. In the event that a travel disruption occurs, we ask that you are covered as we don't issue refunds or extend stays due to usually being fully booked — and recommend you contact your insurer to assist with the cost of disrupted travel arrangements.
PLEASE NOTE: If you choose to not respect our rule for occupancy, which is 2 adults only, there will be a charge of $100 per night per additional person.
As shown in the pictures, we are located on the main road through town and you will hear some road noise at times.
The river behind our cabin is not deep enough for swimming. When it is deep enough for swimming, it is flowing too swiftly to safely go in but makes for excellent river rafting. The water level does get low at the very end of summer / beginning of fall, until we get some rain. You can walk downriver to where the north fork of the Kaweah River joins the main fork to a swimming hole.
PLEASE NOTE: NO VISITING GUESTS. Only the 2 guests who have reserved the cabin are permitted to stay per our insurance carrier, because they only cover the guests in the reservation.
NO SMOKING INSIDE THE CABIN. We are located in an extremely high-fire hazard area.
PLEASE NOTE: NO ANIMALS of any kind are allowed at this property. Members of our family have asthma and are extremely allergic to pet hair/dander. This poses a severe health hazard to hosts' family members and therefore there are no exceptions to this rule. You will be assessed a $400 deep cleaning fee if you bring your pet(s).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had expectations that were exceeded. It was perfect for us. The setting and amenities, inside and out, were amazing. We almost felt guilty for being so relaxed. Thank you very much, we will definitely be back.
We had an amazing time. We had just missed a winter storm so most of the forest was closed. Which was disappointing but we made the most of it and had a nice time. The rental was amazing. Would def rent again.
Everything was excellent, house, river, surroundings, once all the switches were identified we were in awe of the experience. The house was clean and well stocked, furewood was provided. Just a great place to get away to.
Lovely little cabin on the river. It is the most high-tech rustic cabin we have stayed in and has lots of spices etc in the kitchen, which is well equipped. Richard and Jeannie are awesome hosts and we had a lovely time. Note that it is on the road to Sequoia so there is some road noise, but we did not find it too bad even in August.
Everything was better than advertised. The personal care items were high quality, the spa was fantastic and the place was very charming and clean. If you’d stay there I don’t see how you could be disappointed. Definitely a 10. The deer along the river were an added bonus.
The cabin was amazing. Richard and Jeanie thought of everything a guest could possibly want and need. From the comfortable bed and linens to the paper and kindling already set to go in the fire pit, to the gorgeous well well-stocked kitchen, everything was perfect. The cabin is modern, but has a very cozy vibe. Having the hot tub on the porch was an added bonus. Of course, the river in the back of the property was sublime. The only negative was the noise from the highway. You can hear it in the house and while out by the river during heavy traffic times. I came to the area for solitude and self-care and was able to achieve both of those things in the beautiful Sequoia River Cabin.
Richard and Jeanie have thought of absolutely everything. It’s the most beautiful cabin in the most perfect spot!!
This is our third time staying here and it’s such a wonderful vacation!!!
This was an amazing little spot with the perfect view. Very relaxing!!

This cabin exceeded my expectations. It is beautiful inside and out. It's a lovely, private and quiet location. Great for couples looking to get away from it all for a little while!
This was such a perfect cabin for my husband and I. The location was perfect to visit Sequoia National Park. And being right on the river was so fun. We saw deer walking right through the back yard. The amount of extras at this location was amazing. They had a regular coffee maker and a nespresso both stocked with coffee and pods, there was snacks, robes, slippers, and high quality kitchen utensils. The bed was insanely comfortable and the host was very responsive. The hot was amazing after a long day of hiking. Check in and out was a breeze. I would stay here again in a second.
Well equipped kitchen, touches of hospitality and comfort everywhere, very clean and a wonderful hot tub at the end of the day. This is an excellent river house! We will return!

This place was perfect for just my fiance and I, this place is just stunning. We loved the communication between the owners and just the cabin all around. Definitely will recommend others and would be coming back!
We thoroughly enjoyed every single day at this cabin! We truly felt like we were alone on an island. The hosts thought of EVERYthing!! We hope to be back one day ❤️
This was the most amazing magical little cabin!! My husband and I stayed for my 50th bday and to visit Sequoia National Park. The hosts are so accommodating and spare no expense for the comfort of their guests. It’s immaculately clean, organized, and has everything you need and more. The linens on the bed and towels are amazing. The bed is ridiculously comfortable, and I haven’t even touched on the spectacular outdoor amenities. There is a beach on the river, hot tub, and fire pit just out your back door!! It’s just the perfect little place. We can’t wait to visit again!!
Wow wow wow!
Fantastic hosts, fantastic cabin! Chilled beer mugs in freezer, ultra organized, uber clean, high end amenities with charming decor… and don’t even get me started on the view… :)
Would return in a heartbeat!
You guys…. This is the most amazing home away from home you could ever imagine.
The details, the decor, the amenities, the cleanliness was all top notch. Super close to the park and nearby food. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here. We WILL be back!!

About the host
Hosted by Richard and Jeanie Smith
After coming to beautiful Three Rivers for years whitewater rafting, we decided it was time to leave the hectic life of the big city and enjoy a more relaxed and peaceful way of life surrounded by the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Why they chose this property
After moving from the Los Angeles area in 2013, we had the opportunity to purchase this rustic cabin on the river and offer its charm and beautiful natural surroundings to visitors from all over the world while they visit the Giant Forest, Moro Rock or explore Crystal Caves in Sequoia National Park.
What makes this property unique
It's a very charming, rustic cabin located right on the Main Fork of the Kaweah River. The sights and sounds of the river are both soothing and exciting. The charming little town of Three Rivers has a wonderful sense of community and hosts an amazing array of art, music and Western-themed events.
