We loved this property. It's a fantastic location, very close to the park entrance and also not too far from restaurants in Three Rivers. The house has funky charm and more decks than I've ever seen on a VRBO.Great place to get back to nature. Also, there were so many pillows and blankets everywhere to make it feel even cozier.Check in was seamless.I am already daydreaming about my next stay here

Perfect location for visiting and beating the queues into Sequoia National Park. Great views of the surrounding countryside and a large and comfortable home.

The house had everything that we needed and the host even had it stocked with smaller items that we could have forgotten while packing for our trip. The various outdoor spaces and open layout for hanging out with friends / family and playing lots of games was amazing. Kitchen had everything I needed for making big meals and the location was perfect. Great town, great house, great host, great trip!

John’s Place was a comfortable and well stocked home just outside the southern entrance to Sequoia NP. It was a perfect place to return to each evening after a day spent in the parks. We especially loved the pool and how great the communication was with Robin.
