Srey was an excellent host. Great communication providing helpful information regarding Sequoia National Park and Three Rivers. The river surrounding the property was as we hoped. Watching the sunset on the mountains the first evening a bonus. The cabin was clean and cozy.
It was as advertised. The highlight for us was the short 2 minute walk to the decks overlooking the river. Just a great spot to end the day. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable. The host was very timely the one time we needed something. All and all, very nice. Next time we are in the Three River area, we will try to book the place again.
We just spent a wonderful week here as our basecamp for Sequoia and Kings Canyon, and we couldnāt have asked for a better stay. The location is ideal ā minutes from the park entrance, close to all the local Three Rivers spots, and the Kaweah River runs right through the property, which was honestly our favorite part. Nothing beats coming back from a long day of hiking and unwinding by the river. Srey was an exceptional host: before our trip she sent us a thoughtful guide packed with restaurant recommendations, hikes, rafting outfitters, and grocery tips that made planning so much easier ā it felt like having a local friend mapping out our trip. The cabin itself is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped; the propane BBQ got plenty of use and the kitchen had everything we needed. Highly recommend to anyone planning a Sequoia trip.- Prajwal & Sneha
Booked this for a solo getaway while family was traveling elsewhere with friends. Their trip ended up being canceled due to weather at the last minute and we ended up being 4 instead of 1. We had plenty of room and we were able to cook meals. Such a great place. Srey was a great host and she provided links to other houses in the area for a return visit with more room as we plan on returning to this amazing area.

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you guy had a great stay!
Fabulous, nature lovers retreat. Loved sitting on the deck reading, listening to the sounds of the River. The little house was very comfortable, clean, and spacious for my husband and I. We went to Sequoia & Kings Canyon and wished we would have stayed a couple more days just to enjoy the Little house. The management team was very professional and very helpful. Wish we could give the place more stars.

Thank you so much for everything!! It was truly an honor getting to host you both. š
It was a great, comfortable stay. Images a bit misleading, we thought the river balcony was right on the river not a walk away. Overall a great stay anyway.

Thank you so much Rachel!! It's truly a blessing to have wonderful guests like you. Thank you again for staying with us!!
The property is lovey and would stay here again. Only about 20 minutes from Sequoia National Park entrance. A short walk from the cabin to the decks on the river provided relaxing evenings to the sound of the river.Srey, the host, provided us with detailed information about the property and while we didn't see or speak to him during our stay, I was confident he would quickly respond should we need anything.Highly recommend
The cabin is cozy and whe really enjoy the place, the sound of the river was relaxing!! Is near to the National Forest, whe really enjoy and love our family trip š

About the host
Hosted by Srey Vivo
We love traveling to the beautiful Sequoia National Parks so much that we had to have a home in Three Rivers. We are very outdoorsy and adventurous. We like hiking, kayaking, river rafting, hanging out at the lake, exploring nature, etc..., and so Three Rivers was the perfect location to accomplish all these things, and more. When we began remodeling this Cabin Retreat we took a lot of pride in making it special. We didn't just paint over the cedar wood siding, but we meticulously stained it. We took our time to put together something special in the property that even though your in natures elements, you can feel safe, clean, comfortable and cozy in a newly remodeled property on the River. We put all new Furnishings from the couches, chairs, tables, beds, everything. We installed crystal white quartz countertops. We just put in new gravel all around the perimeter. It is something amazing and absolutely beautiful
Why they chose this property
This property is absolutely amazing. It has many trails, with streams, ponds, and falls. It is literally a slice of paradise.
What makes this property unique
This property is truly amazing. It has two amazing decks overlooking the South Fork of the Kaweah River. (which always has water flowing through it year round)
This property is very unique because as the drought has affected California for the past 3 years and many river homes dry up, well we are fortunate to say they we have NEVER dried up (knock on wood) because of where we sit on the South Fork River. So if you are staying with us be assured that anytime of the year that you will experience water flowing through our River on our property (which cannot be said for all properties in three rivers that advertise a river flowing through it).
