About this property

Blue Jay

BLUE JAY is a great 'BnB'. Named after the Blue Jay birds that live here. There's lots of deer too! The home is set up very nice and its's hosted by a very experienced local 3R team. We promise you will love it at The Jay!

Three Rivers is a great little town in the foothills on the way to the Sequoia National Forest. 

From the furnishings to the cleanliness and the personal touches throughout the home the 'Blue Jay' is a large 3 bedroom - 2 full bathroom home nestled in the hills right in the center of Three Rivers and yet it is conveniently located only 3.4 miles from the Park entrance.  We offer you a new kitchen with everything you will need to cook in house. Plus, lots of local info and tips from our Host which include where to go if you just prefer dining out! 

The bathrooms are always clean, and we provide you with plenty of fresh, clean towels. We also supply you with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. 

The beds are top of the line queen size and include all new linens. These beds are comfortable! We also use hypoallergenic pillow and bed protectors for your safety and comfort. The couches, and the dining room table for 6, are very comfortable as well. 

Yes, there is a large HD-TV with very good Wi-Fi.  It is good enough to stream movies 24/7 so we include free Netflix for you!

During your stay, you will have complete access to the home and privacy as well.

Peaceful respite, beautiful wildlife, excellent host!

The Blue Jay was the perfect landing pad for our family's June trip to Sequoia. The place was very clean, super well-equipped, comfortably furnished, and so peaceful! We loved watching the quail and squirrel families in the backyard. The house is nice and close to the Park entrance and the cute town of Three Rivers (we loved Tony's Taverna on Wheels!). To top all that off, Mark is the best host we've ever had at a vacation rental. Extremely communicative, responsive, helpful, and kind. Overall, a wonderful experience from start to finish!

This house is the perfect location for a visit to Sequoia National Park. There is also a great hiking trail within the neighborhood. Thoroughly enjoyed dinners on the patio. Saw wild turkeys and deer right off the patio. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home in a serene setting

My family and I stayed for only one night after visiting the park. Mark provided us with step by step directions in case that GPS failed (which it did). We were able to find the place with ease and enjoyed stepping into a home that was exceptionally well cleaned and welcoming. Although our stay was short, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in a very warm, cozy, and welcoming space. Thank you!!! We will return and hope to stay for much longer!

Great stay

The property was very clean and comfortable. Mark was very thoughtful to text me on the day of checkin to make sure I copied down the instructions. Mobile network was a problem, which he warned me in advance, so we came prepared. The recommendation to hike to salt creek was the best. My family enjoyed the walk and kids had fun in the nice little creek. The property is in a perfect location to drive up the mountain to see the giant groove. Overall it was a beautiful and a pleasant stay.

Wonderful, close to the NP, house

The house was clean, stocked with basics, also had snacks and a bottle of wine for us! The living area was great to watch movies with my family. There were 2 bathrooms, which made it easier for us to all get ready. There were deer and California Bluebirds that were on the property, especially in the am. The stars at night were so visible due to not a lot of street lights. We loved our stay at this house!

Excellent Location

Traveled from Sarasota, FL for a family vacation to Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon. Stayed at the Blue Jay and had an enjoyable experience. The Blue Jay was in an excellent location, only a 15 minute drive, to the entrance of the park. Mark was very responsive when we requested extra supplies as well as instructions to check in. The house/property was well maintained and in a quiet neighborhood. We had plenty of towels and the kitchen was well stocked. We were also provided with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in each bathroom. The beds and pillows were so comfortable! This was greatly appreciated after long days of hiking. Thank you for making our vacation amazing!

Definitely a Return Place.

Our only difficulty was the street sign name change was a bit confusing, especially arriving after dark because there are no lights at the cross road exchange. Next time we know to bring more groceries as we didn't see any places to shop for them nearby. But the house had everything we needed except: more blankets, we wanted to get cozy on the couch will watching TV & didn't want to keep turning the heater up & couldn't use the fire place. Also, an Air Fryer would be useful for faster meal preparation.

Perfect Sequoia National Park House!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Jay Hideaway! It was even better than the pictures. The house sits at the top of a quiet cul-de-sac and was just minutes from the Sequoia National Park entrance. We've stayed at a lot of vacation rentals but this was arguably the cleanest house we've ever stayed at. Some of the highlights our group enjoyed were the big L-couch and giant TV in the living room (perfect for movies after a long day at the park), the farm-style bench at the large Kitchen table (6 of us played Monopoly with lots of room to spare), and the outdoor patio table and grill. There's a lot of other things you'll appreciate in the house including big bathrooms, comfortable beds, large empty walk-in closet, adjustable shower heads, and a washer and dryer. If you're going to Sequoia NP, you have to visit Moro rock -- breathtaking views!! Thanks for hosting us Mark! We truly appreciated your attention to detail with this home and hope to come back again soon.
