"River Retreat House" - River With Two Decks, BBQ, Firepit🔥, near Sequoia Park

We're excited to host you at our River Retreat House. The home is tucked away on a quiet road where you can truly play, relax and recharge. You will find a beautiful trail that lead you to our picturesque river with endless boulders! There you will find two large decks. The home gives you amazing sunrises and sunsets.Our hope is that you love every part of your stay from the quiet stillness of the trees, to animals/bird watching, to enjoying and playing in the river and stargazing at the open sky. About 10 miles to Sequoia National Park.

The space
:: 1 Bedroom (2 beds) /1 Bathroom
::  2 Decks over looking river (The river area is a two minute walk from the home)
:: Outside oasis with outside furniture and dining table, bbq, and a propane firepit.

THE VIBE::
Perfect for people seeking inspiration and renewal in Nature.

THE SPACE::
Walk through the front door and find a gorgeous view of the mountains all around!
Side doors lead out to the back patio where you can find your own private backyard seating areas, outside dining table and bbq and a propane firepit. 
Take a stroll on the property and head down the path to access the river. The walk is a short distance from the house. We are also only 20 minutes from the amazing trails at the end of south fork (like lady bug trails).

THE HOME::
Our home is located in a 6 acre parcel nested in between trees and gorgeous river. The property is full of wildlife, birds, butterflies, wild flowers and wild berries. It is the perfect spot for a family to get into nature and recharge.The kitchen has full size appliances, white cabinets, quartz countertop and a walnut bar table with four bar stools. It is a beautiful place to cook your meals and enjoy the mountain view. It has a fridge and freezer, 4 burner electric stove with oven, coffee maker, blender and all needed cooking and baking utensils. The bathroom a beautiful simple modern space. It has wooden floor, a white cabin and plenty of towels and amenities. There is a TV and DVD player with cable and board games.
Outside space is so serene and peaceful.
The whole backyard is  surrounded my mountains views. You can hear the river from the cabin. There is a fire pit, ample sitting area with outside dinning table and a bbq. It is the perfect spot  to unwind from your day at the park.

RIVER::
THE RIVER AND THE 2 DECKS::
You will find a beautiful trail that lead you to our picturesque river with endless boulders!! There you will find two large decks over the river and sitting areas along the river. This area is absolutely breathtaking! The Southfork River is beautiful all year round. Like all natural rivers the  Rivers has high seasons and low.  In the spring and early summer it is high and fast moving. As summer wanes the river slows and lower but never completely dies up. We are fortunate to have water year round so you will always enjoy the soothing sounds of the river. Children must be chaperone at all time especially near the river.  Please be cautious of current, especially during winter and early spring. (The 2 decks are located at the river area. The river area where the decks are is just a short stroll  from the house and shared with only one other home)

AROUND
The Sequoias and surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains are some of the best that California has to offer. Centrally located, the house is about twenty minutes drive to the main entrance to Sequoia National Park station and both Slick Rock recreation areas and King’s Canyon National Park, and just a 10 minutes from Three Rivers town restaurants and shops. A nature lovers paradise, there are plenty of areas to hike, bike, fish, and swim; and during the summer months, world-class white-water rafting and kayaking. Lake Kaweah, surrounded by the golden hills of California’s lower Sierra Nevada mountains, is just five miles downstream and a hot spot for boating and fishing.

LOCATION::
Three Rivers, California. Nearest Airport: Yosemite/Fresno International (1 hr/70 miles)

BEST TIME TO VISIT:: Year round

DISCLOSURE:
The River Cabin shares the " river area" only with The Contempory River House which is an occasional vacation rental also host by us. These are the only 2 private vacation houses on the 6 acres property, so if you have a larger party and would like to rent out both houses then feel free to ask.  
If you have more family and friends that wants to join then the larger house can accommodate that too. Please note that both homes are completely separated from one another . There is a fence between each homes and both homes
have their own parking and backyard oasis space. There is definitely privacy between the two homes. We strive to make your time with us a relaxing and a memorable experience.

Srey was an excellent host. Great communication providing helpful information regarding Sequoia National Park and Three Rivers. The river surrounding the property was as we hoped. Watching the sunset on the mountains the first evening a bonus. The cabin was clean and cozy.

We just spent a wonderful week here as our basecamp for Sequoia and Kings Canyon, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The location is ideal — minutes from the park entrance, close to all the local Three Rivers spots, and the Kaweah River runs right through the property, which was honestly our favorite part. Nothing beats coming back from a long day of hiking and unwinding by the river. Srey was an exceptional host: before our trip she sent us a thoughtful guide packed with restaurant recommendations, hikes, rafting outfitters, and grocery tips that made planning so much easier — it felt like having a local friend mapping out our trip. The cabin itself is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped; the propane BBQ got plenty of use and the kitchen had everything we needed. Highly recommend to anyone planning a Sequoia trip.- Prajwal & Sneha

It was as advertised. The highlight for us was the short 2 minute walk to the decks overlooking the river. Just a great spot to end the day. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. The host was very timely the one time we needed something. All and all, very nice. Next time we are in the Three River area, we will try to book the place again.

Booked this for a solo getaway while family was traveling elsewhere with friends. Their trip ended up being canceled due to weather at the last minute and we ended up being 4 instead of 1. We had plenty of room and we were able to cook meals. Such a great place. Srey was a great host and she provided links to other houses in the area for a return visit with more room as we plan on returning to this amazing area.

Fabulous, nature lovers retreat. Loved sitting on the deck reading, listening to the sounds of the River. The little house was very comfortable, clean, and spacious for my husband and I. We went to Sequoia & Kings Canyon and wished we would have stayed a couple more days just to enjoy the Little house. The management team was very professional and very helpful. Wish we could give the place more stars.

It was a great, comfortable stay. Images a bit misleading, we thought the river balcony was right on the river not a walk away. Overall a great stay anyway.

Thank you for your review! I'm glad you had a comfortable stay and that everyone had a great time. Regarding the river balcony, I appreciate your feedback. However, I would like to clarify that our listing description does explicitly state that the river is a short walk from the cabin. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and we hope to have yoi back soon.

The property is lovey and would stay here again. Only about 20 minutes from Sequoia National Park entrance. A short walk from the cabin to the decks on the river provided relaxing evenings to the sound of the river.Srey, the host, provided us with detailed information about the property and while we didn't see or speak to him during our stay, I was confident he would quickly respond should we need anything.Highly recommend
