Chic Historic Cottage in the Heart of 3 Rivers-River Access, Hot Tub, Love dogs!
Maile's Cottage is an historic landmark in the quaint township of Three Rivers. Maile's Cottage affords you incredible accessibility to the main entrance to Sequoia National Park, just a 10 minute drive. Plus, you have the convenience of being able to walk to local restaurants and stores including a coffee shop, frozen yogurt shop, Sierra Subs, Three Rivers Brewery, and a local market all just a stone's throw away. Your private access to the Kaweah River is just across the road! And - you are welcome to bring your family dog with you on your vacation.
The cottage has been lovingly restored and upgraded to provide modern amenities and conveniences while maintaining the original architectural integrity. You will be delighted with the stylish uncluttered interiors and carefully selected vintage furniture and chic decor, all created by a professional Interior Designer whose specialty is boutique hotels.
The spacious living room has an original iron stove and wood burning fireplace, comfortable leather sofas, large flat screen with Blu Ray player and internet for downloading movies and accessing Netflix (not connected to cable or satellite). You will need to bring your password. There is also a large selection of DVD's. The kitchen overlooking the private rear garden features granite counter tops, farm sink, and quality appliances. Adjoining the kitchen is a dining room with vintage wood dining table and seating for up to 6 people. There is also a bright and sunny breakfast area with large sliding glass doors opening onto the rear garden.
The outdoor living environment is equally enchanting. Relax or dine in the large private rear garden which features a gas BBQ and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy al fresco dining. Relax in our brand new private hot tub. Sip a glass of wine under the old olive tree in the front courtyard while watching the sun set beyond the local foothills and majestic peaks of Sequoia National Park.
Accommodations on the ground floor comprise a master suite with a king size bed, large closet, and glass sliding doors opening onto a private patio. The modern master bathroom has twin vanities, a toilet, and a walk-in shower with river pebble floor.
The second ground level bedroom features a brand new King bed and closet.
A family bathroom downstairs features a pedestal vanity, toilet and shower/bath combination.
Upstairs is a huge loft-style bedroom with a queen size bed, a full size bed, and a twin bed. Because it can get pretty warm up there, we have installed (Aug 2025) a ductless mini split which affords quiet and efficient cooling. This is in addition to the whole house central air conditioning and heating.
The experience of staying in a super chic historic cottage with highly desired amenities while enjoying one of America's great national parks will make for a vacation you will never forget.

Lovely, comfortable, clean house! Very conveniently on the main road in Three Rivers but very quiet - especially at night, it was peaceful and we slept well. The hot tub hadn't arrived yet, but there's a spot for it. Host was an excellent communicator, very prompt and super friendly. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
We had an absolutely wonderful time at this cottage! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage is exactly as pictured: stylish, comfortable, and full of character. The space was clean, well-appointed, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The kitchen was equipped with great appliances and made it easy to prepare meals, and the outdoor space was perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxing. We also loved that it was pet-friendly, so our fur baby could enjoy the trip too! The location was perfect for exploring the area and soaking in the natural beauty around Three Rivers. The host’s attention to detail and warm touches really made this place stand out. Very close to the downtown area that we walked, but also tucked away enough that it was quiet!Overall, this was one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in — we left feeling refreshed and already talking about our next visit. Highly recommended!

Great location walking distance to local brewery. The cottage had everything we needed, beds were comfortable and the place was spot less. We visited Sequoias and had a day on the lake.

We loved this cottage. We felt completely at home and had everything we needed. Grocery store, restaurants and gas stations close by and only 10 minutes to the entrance of Sequoia National Park.

It was a pleasure hosting you and I’m glad that the Cottage felt like your home away from home. Thank you so much for taking excellent care of it.
The house was perfect. It was very clean and the owner went above a beyond in stocking all of the little extras we may have needed or forgotten to bring. The outdoor seating and dining area was so nice!
Maile’s Cottage was cute and cozy and had all the amenities we needed. You can’t beat the location 6 minutes from Sequoia National Park. The house was super clean and we loved sitting out on the patio in the evenings.

Our family had a wonderful visit to Three Rivers. This cottage is a good place to stay if visiting the Sequoia NP. It is well equipped, and Robin is an awesome hostess. There are nice local restaurants very close, and the park is easily accessible. Our family highly recommends if staying in Three Rivers.

Lovely character cottage, great location
Really nice place, well appointed with plenty of room. Just a few miles from the park, great coffee across the street at Antoinette’s. Would love to come back and spend more time in the area.

Had a great 3 night stay for our family of 5. Upstairs sleeping area was great for the kids, loved the movie selection for a family movie night after a day in the National parks and my kids loved playing in and around the house. Highly recommend for any family looking for housing.
