About this property

Perfect Family Retreat on 24 Acres with River and Enchanting Location


Redbud Trail Retreat is nestled among the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, on the South Fork of the Kaweah River. This property offers the utmost in privacy and seclusion while being less than 10 min. from the quaint town of Three Rivers & 15 min. from Sequoia National Park.

The large 5500 sq ft residence is set on 24 magnificent wooded acres of blue oaks and redbuds overlooking its own unique piece of the South Fork of the Kaweah River. Keep an eye out for the local deer, stroll our olive grove or just marvel at the majestic mountain vistas.

The property is comprised of a two-story house with the utmost in luxury and comfort with an adjacent cozy cottage. Central heating/cooling and a flexible mix of rooms with private patios ensures privacy, comfort and accommodation for any combination of guests. The newly remodeled kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances ready for the heartiest of meals. Adjacent is a dining area seating up to 12, central to a generous and lofty living area with wood burning fireplace and veranda with breathtaking views of Blossom Peak. The outdoor living environment is equally enchanting with a fabulous lagoon pool, fireplace and rustic outdoor dining area with gas BBQ - all with a beautiful river view.

The ground floor also has a master suite with a king bed and a master bathroom with large jetted bathtub, generous shower, Swedish Sauna, separate toilet and bidet, walk-in closet and an extra vanity area. On the ground floor there is another bedroom with a Tempur-Pedic queen-size bed and outdoor seating area. The third ground floor bedroom includes two queen beds, sitting area and private patio. There is also a full bathroom, a full laundry room with state of the art appliances and a separate library room.

Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, one with a Tempur-Pedic Queen bed and one with a king bed. Both have walk-in closets and private balconies. There is a central bathroom with separate vanity area.

The adjacent cottage is completely private and only steps away from the main house. It offers rustic charm, knotty pine ceilings and walls, and a wood burning stove. It also has central heating and air conditioning. There is a queen bed in a nook area, a lounge dining area, living room with convertible sofa, a separate bedroom with two twin beds, a veranda and a bathroom.

Although the residence is superb, it is the outdoors that is the big attraction. Sip coffee on the huge veranda overlooking the lagoon style pool and watch the river running below, or enjoy meals on the rustic barbecue deck, marveling at the majestic mountains. In winter, huddle by the outdoor fireplace sipping wine while gazing at the incredible night sky. In summer, relax by the pool, dipping in to cool off now and then. Take nature walks on the property through the blue oaks, along the river frontage or through the olive grove, all the while being on the look-out for our friendly deer.

You will love vacationing at Redbud Trail Retreat so much it may be difficult to tear yourself away to see Sequoia National Park and other attractions.

If you can leave your compound, the area offers an abundance of activities year round.

Amazing, remote location for adults.

Beautiful property, far off the beaten path. Children would have to be very well-supervised here, as there are plenty of serious hazards, even close in to the house.

Excellent Stay

We were a group of friends who came for an annual reunion. This was one of the best places that we stayed in over the years. The beds were comfortable, the house and kitchen were well-stocked with everything we needed. The setting was beautiful with a short walk to the river.

Great time at the Redbud Trail Retreat

Great location that allowed us to spend time in the nearby Sequoia and King's Canyon National Parks. Lots of space for the entire group of us to eat together and enjoy the scenery. The pool was just the right size to relax in after a long day's hike. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Beautiful Property and Gracious Host

Robin was extremely communicative and endlessly accommodating- she even set our group up with a vehicle to negotiate the creek passage, which was flooded from the recent rains. The property itself was perfectly private and even more scenic than the pictures showed. Would definitely stay at Redbud again.

Amazing time with friends very relaxing. The house was big enough that we were never crowded( there was 7 of us) Perfect location to parks. The Sequoia’s are amazing but the best part of the trip was hanging out at the house with friends

wonderful place for a family week together

The house was absolutely wonderful for our group of 13 from ages 4-late 60s. We had plenty of space to spread out. There was a separate cottage for the family with two small children. The kitchen is beautifully outfitted and perfect for group cooking. The sunset reflecting in the pool is to die for.

Happy Birthday to Me: PERFECT PLACE

I invited 11 family members to come to Three Rivers for a few days. The house is far better than the pics: so much room. The kitchen handled many bodies well, with plenty of everything for big cooking. So often Rentals will advertise sleeping for certain number, but the table seating doesn’t match. This place has a huge table inside and another outside on the patio.. So many chairs! The pool was too hot during the day, but the evenings were glorious. River was shaded in the afternoon. Spotless. Quiet. Private. Stunning valley view. I’m so thankful for all the memories.

Highly Recommend

After an extensive search for an ideal property for a small professional retreat for 3 nights, we selected this property for its location, beauty, size, number of private bedrooms, gathering space, kitchen, views etc. The property has a wonderful Cabin feel, fabulous views, private, cozy, sparkling clean. It met and exceeded everyone's expectations and, without a hesitation, our group consensus is we highly recommend this property!

Wonderful Home for my Family!!

This was an excellent stay for my whole family. Plenty of room for everyone and tuck back in the canyon at three rivers, so there was plenty of wildlife to enjoy. I only wish we would've stayed for the duration. The only thing I missed on the listing is that two rooms are connected downstairs, which created some light drama during the room selection. Other than that, it was easy to get into, the host was great.

Beautiful location, outstanding Lodge, thoughtfully designed

Your beautiful lodge and accommodations were just what we hoped for and needed to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with family and close friends. Everyone was amazed at how thoughtfully the floor plan and rooms were designed, from spaciousness to zone A/C, the perfect location of the beautiful outdoor pool, the large dining table on the veranda facing the woods and river, and the large lodge-style visiting, game-playing, DVD-watching space! The main kitchen too! Everyone loved it on their day to cook! Best of all the closeness to Sequoia National Park was wonderful.

Post Deluge Adventure

This house was wonderful...fully stocked with bedding, blankets, paper goods, cooking supplies & seasonings, as well as wonderfully furnished and comfortable. The rains of 2023 made it all the more adventurous with the beautiful sound of the South Fork of the Kaweah River playing its music in the background, not to mention the its power over the doings of mankind. This is a must for anyone looking to visit The Sequoia & Kings Canyon NPs.

Relaxing, beautiful family retreat

We had a fabulous trip to Three Rivers. The property is so beautiful, right on the river with stunning views all around. My family was kept busy enjoying the many amenities the property offered including swimming in the wonderful pool, reading in the hammock by the river, and taking scenic walks. There is also a game room with ping pong, darts and a pool table! The kitchen was stocked with every utensil/pot/pan you could need to cook fabulous meals. We loved eating out on the deck enjoying the sound of the river, the scenery really connected us with the beauty of nature.

About the host

Hosted by Robin Castro

Host profile image
Originally from Australia and have been in the hotel business for many years, so you can count on us to have everything just right. We love the outdoors and discovered the Three Rivers area while looking for a private 'off the grid' property to retreat to periodically from our busy schedules - a place to be able to enjoy with family and friends with easy access to the great outdoors of the Sierra Nevada.

Why they chose this property

Redbud Trail Retreat is one of those rare properties in the Three Rivers area that has vast views, river frontage , seclusion, and absolute peace and quiet.

What makes this property unique

Located near the base of dramatic Blossom Peak, the house enjoys seclusion, privacy and inspirational views of mountains and the river valley. A house offering extreme comfort, space and amenities. Your only neighbor is a family of deer that occasionally graze outside the kitchen window or the wild turkeys that wander by. The olive grove and the river are always enjoyable for a stroll.
This property has a certain energy about it that you 'drop into' the minute you arrive.
We Love It!
