Over the years, we’ve welcomed guests from all over the world and have built a reputation for impeccable cleanliness, clear communication, and thoughtful touches that make a stay feel effortless.
When we’re not hosting, you’ll find us hiking Sequoia trails, kayaking rivers, or exploring new destinations. We’ve designed Sequoia Sanctuary to be the kind of place we look for when we travel: private, peaceful, and well-stocked, with beautiful views and zero compromises on comfort.
We’re hands-on when you need us, invisible when you don’t, and always ready to share local tips to help you make the most of your time here.
We look forward to hosting you and helping you create memories in one of the most breathtaking places on Earth.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this location because it offers the best of both worlds! Seclusion and proximity. Tucked away on a private street just minutes from Sequoia National Park’s main entrance, it’s a peaceful escape with uninterrupted valley views, abundant wildlife sightings, and in winter and spring, the soothing sound of the Kaweah River roaring below.
From here, you can watch deer graze at sunrise, spot hawks circling overhead, and stargaze without city lights. In the cooler months, you’ll enjoy the view of the river winding through the valley; in warmer months, it’s a tranquil base for hikes, swims, and park adventures.
The neighborhood’s privacy, panoramic scenery, and connection to nature are what make it truly special. It's the perfect setting for unwinding after a day exploring one of the most breathtaking destinations on Earth.
What makes this property unique
Perched high on a private hilltop, Sequoia Sanctuary offers a rare blend of total seclusion and effortless access to both nature and convenience. From nearly every window, you’ll enjoy sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Kaweah River Valley, and in spring, the powerful roar of the river below becomes a soundtrack to your stay.
Wildlife is part of the daily scenery here. It’s not unusual to spot deer at sunrise, foxes passing through at dusk, or hawks soaring overhead; all without leaving the property. Direct access to nearby hiking trails means you can step outside and explore, while the main entrance to Sequoia National Park is just a 10-minute scenic drive away.
After a day of adventure, you’re only 10 minutes from the heart of Three Rivers for groceries, dining, and local shops; making it easy to enjoy both the peaceful privacy of the hilltop and the conveniences of town. It’s a setting that feels a world away, yet keeps everything you need within reach.
