This place was perfect for us, close to Sequoia National Park and it had everything we needed. The view of the river was beautiful and listening to the river at night was just perfect.
Good communication with clear check in and out instructions. Location is great if you look to explore sequoia national parks but not camp in the park. Enjoyed the large selection of DVDs to watxh with the kids in the evenings and playing the the river.
It was a great place to stay for our family to go to Sequoia National Park due to our size and the number of bedrooms required. Great communication from the owner leading up to and during our stay. Wish it would’ve had one more bathroom and shower on the lower level.

Pros: great location to Sequoia Nat’l Park, beautiful location/view of the river, charming home! Cons: could use a good deep cleaning, needs septic system pumped as we had a septic smell in the basement area after showers/laundry, and did not appear to have smoke detectors (could see where they’d been but were missing).
This home was exactly what we were looking for. We were able to enjoy well needed family time and had enough room to feel comfortable and fit everyone. The views are amazing and it is so close to the park! Such a great location.
We had a large group of family stay for a few days. Loved the location and the house. It was very comfortable and enjoyable and well stocked with everything we needed.
We especially loved the balconies on the river, although the river was a little loud this time of year. Beautiful!

The house fit our two families (9 total) comfortably. Amazing swimming hole just steps away, safely enjoyed by kids of various ages. The host was very responsive to any issues to arose.
Everything was great! We had an amazing time. The property is right next to the river and, when windows are opened, you can either wake or sleep to it. About 5 minutes from the Sequoia national Park entrance. If you buy a pass, it’s good for seven days.
While this location is quite dated and could use a deep scrubbing, the positives so much outnumber the minor negatives that this would absolutely be a place we would not only recommend to others, but would return to if we came back to this area in the future.
The location to the entrance of Sequoia is amazing and makes your trip easy and convenient. Everyone from the Three Rivers community were so pleasant, welcoming and willing to help.
Thanks for a wonderful family vacation!

Quirky house in a great location
Fun, quirky house in a great location. Pros...location! Well-stocked. Good communication with owner. Flexible floorplan for families. Cons...swimming hole is not at all private. House could use a deep cleaning and dusting. Bedding is not great. All in all a good property.
We had a five night stay with our grown children and our grandchildren, wish it could have been longer. Great place for a family gathering. We cooked/made all our meals in, good kitchen & had everything needed. The house and views are amazing, proximity to the river for cooling off was perfect as was quick access to the National Forest. Only reason for knocking a point off of cleanliness was due to a technical problem we learned the housekeepers and owner were already on; owner was very responsive. If we get the opportunity we will happily return.
All was so clean and good except for the refrigerator, freezer works very well, but down part did not kept the milk cold enough.
Thank you for your service
It's an older house with lots of character. We did get barked at by the neighbor dogs every time we went outside but we had wild turkeys and deer visit, so it made up for it. The constant sound of the river was fantastic! Plenty of parking, enough space we weren't tripping over each other. Fridge is glitch, needs replaced and door doesn't open all the way so drawer space is limited. Door shelves are breaking or missing barrier bars. Doesn't like to stay closed. We are an old and large family, the stairways were a bit steep and narrow but we just had to take them slow. Kudos to the 1/2 bath right by the front door! We had a great weekend with family up in the mountains with great views. A fun place to stay for a few days
Overall our stay was positive. The location is outstanding. Close to the park entrance. Right on the river. Turkeys both mornings. Plenty of beds. The issue we had was that there was a miscommunication between management and cleaning crew. We checked into an unclean house and had to spend our first evening cleaning and doing laundry. Our first evening of two was pretty much wasted. After we got things cleaned up our stay was great. The cleaning lady came by and was super nice and sorry that we were subject to an uncleaned house at check in. The host did refund us the cleaning fee but I didn’t feel that just a cleaning fee reimbursement was enough. If it was my place I would have reimbursed at least half if not all of the first day.
Oh well.
Such a great property! The view is to die for and the location near the national park was fantastic. Getting to the swimming hole is a little treacherous but totally worth it. Bring a ripe and you can lower stuff down then get yourself down. So appreciative of this property.
House did not meet expectation as it mention in the description. House supply was not met as it stated. Left us a small amount of dish soap didn’t last us for our 3 night stay. My family Ioves to cook the dish soap was gone the first day. We had to stop at the store to get more to last our stay. The breaker keeps triggering we can’t even use the ac wall unit or charged our phone in the third floor. It was so hot up there no one sleep in there until it was cooler in the evening. Wi-Fi totally sucks. Was not able to connect the tv to the Wi-Fi we went 4 days without Netflix or YouTube. My guest rather go sleep early. The bbq grill lit up in flame and burn my husband hand. They left a whole bowl of oil and a bowl of ashes inside the grill that was not dumped out so the oil lit up in flame. We had to clean it before even can use it. We came back from a day of hiking and found a ac tech waiting outside. We weren’t aware of it and weren’t notify that someone was coming. It was very disturbing. The washer and dryer take up over an hour to wash and dry 1 load of clothes and it dispense a small amount of water to wash the clothes under the large load. The water level was not even half and does not reach to the level of the clothes. Had to re wash my clothes when we got home. Was not able to get a hold of the host due to the poor Wi-Fi connection. Only connection I can get was on my way up to the top of the mountain where I can only get an amount of small cellular connection. The only thing I enjoy at this house was the view of the river. It was spectacular other then that I would not come back to this property or would not recommend.
Despite coming on winter season we were excited to wonder around the river. House was spacious enough for my family, enough beds, plenty of ventilation. Loved the view from each bedroom, kitchen, living room. It was just an amazing time.... will definitely visit again...
This is such a great house. Pictures and words do no justice. Very clean and extremely well stocked. Plenty of linens, dishes and books. Crockpot, rice maker and coffee pot available. Keep in mind there are 3 flights of stairs. Main floor is the living/kitchen/dining/half bath area. Top floor Master bdrm and bottom floor are 3 bdrm's and full bath. Plenty of space outside to relax and admire the river. A short but steep walk down to the swimming/fishing hole. We did catch 1 fish.
Close to markets and Sequoia yet far from the busy city. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Tennison!

Why they chose this property
Three Rivers is a very special place, and for some a hidden California gem! Nestled in the foothills, you can be at the sequoia trees within 45 minutes, or be on the lake in 15...the nights are star-filled, the weather is always amazing, the hum of the river slides you into immediate relaxation! The town has a population of roughly 3,000 people, so it is small yet still provides many necessary amenities...a few restaurants, two markets, gas stations, art galleries, video store, gift shops, organic farm, and more...the house is a couple of miles from the entrance to Sequoia National Park and one mile from entrance to Mineral King! The Kaweah Lake is a man-made reservoir lake which provides for great bass fishing, recreational water skiing, jet skiing, houseboat rentals and more.
What makes this property unique
The 'White House' has its own private swimming hole, perfect for sunbathing, swimming and fishing! The house was built with views in mind...most windows and decks face east toward the park. The granite rocks at the entrance to the house have the original 'grinding holes' by the local Indian tribe, the Potwisha, who would grind acorn into maze, their most common food! The house is awesome in many ways...it was built with entertaining in mind, there is a very nice flow of spaciousness and can support many guests comfortably, or be the perfect getaway for a couple! FYI AT&T is only cell service in Three Rivers, but the house does have wifi and a landline!
