Beautiful Cottage near Sequoia with EV charger, fireplace
If you are seeking a well designed and outfitted home base for your couple’s retreat then Redtail Cottage should not be missed. It is a “Guest Favorite” with five star reviews given by every guest since it first listed in 2018. The setting is leafy and beautiful, close to the village shopping but remote and just a few miles up the road from Sequoia National Park. Guests tell of breakfasts on the private deck while watching quail families and bunnies romp on the private road; and dinners watching the sunset after grilling on the front porch just outside of the kitchen door. The Cal-King bed is wonderfully comfortable and the high end linens and black out curtains guarantee a fabulous rest after long hikes in the National Park. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, oven, microwave, full size frig, dishwasher, coffee/tea service area and all the expected accessories with helpful spice selections. There are two AC/heat units on separate thermostats and even your own private washer and dryer with all the supplies. There is a darling English replica propane fireplace, two smart tvs and even a Tesla series 2 EV charger (TeslaTap adaptor is in the cupboard for universal charging). The free wi-fi is yours alone so you can download and share your pictures with friends and family and sign in to your video accounts. The cell service is also good so work or play Redtail Cottage offers you all of the comforts of a well designed one bedroom/one bath separate home in 780 square. Feet.

Our stay was memorable, to say the least. The cottage is immaculate, well stocked and needing nothing, just your memories. Linda was extremely receptive to all needs and provides a great experience. We really enjoyed everything and hope to be back soon!!!

My husband and I felt right at home. The bed was comfortable and we had all the conveniences of home so that we may cook a meal or relax on the couch next to the fireplace.
Comfortable bed and roomy cabin and very quiet. The location was great for visiting the Sequoias, maybe a 10 min drive to the gate. Well stocked kitchen and cabin. Everything you need for your stay. It was nice and cool inside when we arrived. Quick response from our hosts whenever we had a question. There we no sidewalks to walk around the town at night, but this is true of the whole town of Three Rivers as far as I could tell. We had a great stay. I would not hesitate to stay again. The destination charger was great to have!!!
Had a great stay. The check in process was super easy and the place was very cozy. It was clean and super well stocked. It also was an easy ride to the National Parks. I would highly recommend this place!
Perfect place! Host were most helping, this place had everything we needed and was also quiet. Staying here created a perfect getaway for my girlfriend and I for the weekend. I will definitely be staying here again.
Lovely comfortable cottage. Super clean and very well equipped. Great location for visiting the National parks and a quiet spot to return to at the end of the day. Check in and out very simple. Thank you, we had a wonderful stay.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Close location to 3 rivers proper and entrance to Sequoia. The cottage is stocked with all your basic needs. It was a perfect size for our family of 3.
This is a lovely, well-appointed, well-supplied cottage, a short distance from the main road (but far enough to avoid road noise), that was just as advertised. We had a fine five day stay.
My husband and I stayed for a week and loved everything about it. The cottage is clean, beautiful, and in a wonderful location. Quail, rabbits, and wild turkeys right outside (rainbows, too)!
We enjoyed our stay here in Three Rivers. The cottage was as described - clean, cozy, and well stocked with any item one could possibly need. The location was peaceful and close to Sequoia NP. Communication with the owners was easy, and information was readily available in a provided binder. I would recommend this place to family and friends.
Beautiful little cabin outside of sequoia national park. The majestic sequoia trees were the highlight of our stay. The hiking and local sites were also a wonderful part of our experience. A beautiful few days in a beautiful part of the country for a very memorable experience.
Fantastic cabin right next to Sequoia National Park
We stayed in the cabin for three nights, and found it to be a fantastic place to stay. The cabin was clean and comfy. It was well equipped with everything that you could want for your stay. And it's located within a few miles of Sequoia National Park, so you can easily go hiking and exploring every day during your stay. The owners were super, and made sure we had a great time. This is definitely the place that we'll stay during our next trip to Sequoia.
We had a wonderful stay. Linda was a great host with information for us when we needed. The house was well stocked and we felt very welcomed. Three Rivers is close to many wonderful hikes, and we would definitely come again. Highly recommend.
Fabulous standalone cottage, beautifully outfitted and in a perfect location near the park entrance. We brought our EV which was only possible because of the Tesla Destination charger right outside the cottage.
Thanks!
Thanks
Linda and Tom provide this cute cottage with an array of amenities, maybe the best we’ve seen in a VRBO. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. The cottage was sparkling clean, the bed super comfortable. The washer/dryer a big plus. A cute deck to enjoy the scenery and quiet of the mountains
The proximity of the cottage to the entrance of Sequoia National Park is only 8 miles. Staying in this nice cottage and not a hotel or motel is my preference for sure. The cottage has a great kitchen so we made breakfast and dinners every night and the bed is extremely comfortable. Tom and Linda were great host!
Great Stay in Three Rivers near Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park
Great little cottage in Three Rivers near Sequoia
and Kings Canyon National Parks.
The cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed. We were10 minutes away from the Sequoia entrance. The town had a few cute restaurants and great coffee shops as well as a fantastic frozen yogurt place.
Linda and Tom provided everything we needed and were gracious host.
My wife and I would highly recommend this place for your stay.
This was the perfect place for us to stay in order to visit Sequoia National Park. After being out all day, it was nice to come back to this cute cottage and relax in front of the fireplace. We had everything we needed to cook in the well stocked kitchen and the surrounding area was quiet. We enjoyed the local historical museum and restaurants and brewery. I would like to visit again because we couldn't see the whole park due to snow. Thank you Linda and Tom!

About the host
Hosted by Linda Drouet and Tom Marshall
I am a retired house designer and have lived in Three Rivers since 1986. We built Redtail Cottage in 2009 as a guest house for our parents who lived there until 2017. After a transformation in 2019 to a premier vacation rental Redtail Cottage is available to VRBO guests seeking an exceptional home base for hiking Sequoia National Park.
I am a California native growing up in Long Beach/Lakewood. I studied at UC Berkeley and UC Irvine where I earned a bachelors degree in Social Science before attending graduate school in business at UC Irvine I love art and travel and my two vacation rentals reflect that. (see also my Redtail House VRBO 2569704).
Why they chose this property
Three Rivers is a small village with friendly people situated at the entrance to Sequoia National Park.
