Sequoia River Cabin ~ Romantic Rustic Retreat on Kaweah River ~ Close to Sequoia
The Sequoia River Cabin is nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, in a quaint hamlet known as Three Rivers, Gateway to the Sequoias. We are just 5 minutes (5 miles) to the Ash Mountain entrance of Sequoia National Park. Our cabin is ideal for 2 Adults only ~ No Children and No Pets.
Our cute and cozy cabin has a well-equipped kitchen and a propane BBQ off the back deck. The cabin is ideal for a couple. The rear deck is just steps away from the Main Fork of the Kaweah River.
We are conveniently located on Sierra Drive, the main road through town, with the main fork of the Kaweah River just steps from the back deck. The private river setting allows for a true romantic getaway. There is a fire pit by the river to enjoy an evening fire and we do supply firewood.
Relax in the Sundance Spa / hot tub / jacuzzi on the back deck, listen to the sounds of the river and marvel at the Blue Heron and various duck species that call the river home. You just might see some deer at the river's edge.
In the evening, relax in the lounge chairs by the river and be mesmerized by the spectacular star-studded night sky.
In springtime, you can sit on the deck and catch a glimpse of the whitewater rafters and kayakers as they make their way down the river.
We offer plush towels, quality linens and we also provide bath amenities for our guests.
DirecTV and high-speed Spectrum WiFi are available as well.
This historic cabin was originally built as a fishing retreat decades ago and has evolved a number of times since then. In the '70s it was Little Rainbow, the workshop of our local silversmith. After that it became a private residence, and later a trendy coffee house named The Cabin. The Cabin later became The Buckaroo, serving hamburgers and sandwiches.
IMPORTANT ITEMS TO KNOW:
TRAVEL INSURANCE
It is essential for our guests to have travel insurance.
We are in a high Fire Severity Zone. Fire season is typically August-October.
In the event that a travel disruption occurs, we ask that you are covered as we don't issue refunds or extend stays due to usually being fully booked — and recommend you contact your insurer to assist with the cost of disrupted travel arrangements.
PLEASE NOTE: If you choose to not respect our rule for occupancy, which is 2 adults only, there will be a charge of $100 per night per additional person.
As shown in the pictures, we are located on the main road through town and you will hear some road noise at times.
The river behind our cabin is not deep enough for swimming. When it is deep enough for swimming, it is flowing too swiftly to safely go in but makes for excellent river rafting. The water level does get low at the very end of summer / beginning of fall, until we get some rain. You can walk downriver to where the north fork of the Kaweah River joins the main fork to a swimming hole.
PLEASE NOTE: NO VISITING GUESTS. Only the 2 guests who have reserved the cabin are permitted to stay per our insurance carrier, because they only cover the guests in the reservation.
NO SMOKING INSIDE THE CABIN. We are located in an extremely high-fire hazard area.
PLEASE NOTE: NO ANIMALS of any kind are allowed at this property. Members of our family have asthma and are extremely allergic to pet hair/dander. This poses a severe health hazard to hosts' family members and therefore there are no exceptions to this rule. You will be assessed a $400 deep cleaning fee if you bring your pet(s).

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Richard and Jeanie Smith

After coming to beautiful Three Rivers for years whitewater rafting, we decided it was time to leave the hectic life of the big city and enjoy a more relaxed and peaceful way of life surrounded by the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Why they chose this property
After moving from the Los Angeles area in 2013, we had the opportunity to purchase this rustic cabin on the river and offer its charm and beautiful natural surroundings to visitors from all over the world while they visit the Giant Forest, Moro Rock or explore Crystal Caves in Sequoia National Park.
What makes this property unique
It's a very charming, rustic cabin located right on the Main Fork of the Kaweah River. The sights and sounds of the river are both soothing and exciting. The charming little town of Three Rivers has a wonderful sense of community and hosts an amazing array of art, music and Western-themed events.
