About this property

Chic 2B2b Bungalow w/ studio 3 mi to Sequoia NP - Dog Friendly!

Welcome to Three Rivers - gateway to Sequoia National Park! This is the perfect time to escape from the city for a few days and spend some quiet time visiting the magnificent giant trees.

The Blue Oak Bungalow is nestled in the peaceful Alta Acres neighborhood of Three Rivers, only 3 miles from Sequoia National Park. The property is made up of 2 parts; the main house and a cozy detached studio just a couple of steps away. Built in 1956, this charming home masterfully combines the classic architecture from that era with a colorful modern flare that creates the perfect balance of old & new. The owner has lovingly restored, refurnished and redecorated the home with your comfort and enjoyment as a priority. Add to that the fact that he chose a manager whose houses have been voted "Best Vacation Home in Kaweah Country" for five years in a row, and you have the makings for a perfect experience.

The main house opens into a brilliant living room featuring floor to ceiling windows showcasing the Sierra Nevada mountains. You'll find lots of comfy seating, a woodstove, large screen smart TV and amazing local artwork adorning the walls. The open floor plan includes a dining table that will seat six and a full kitchen complete with a gas oven & stovetop, new refrigerator/freezer, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, blender, cookware, dinnerware...you name it. The bedroom contains a brand new Cal King bed, large mirrored closet and a view of the garden and mountain peaks of Sequoia National Park. The bathroom features a wonderful claw foot bathtub with shower curtain enclosure, mirrored vanity, plenty of room, and towel sets for everyone. The temperature of the house can easily be controlled by a Nest thermostat. No matter how hot or cold it is outside, you will be very comfortable inside.

The adjacent studio (just a couple of steps away) is perfect for those in your party that prefer a bit more privacy. Inside you will find a bedroom with a new Cal King bed, outstanding views of the great outdoors, coffee service, mini fridge, big closet, cabinets for your storage and a full bathroom with tub/shower. We provide a double bed size Memory Foam fold-out mattress with linens if you need additional sleeping space in the studio. The studio's climate is controlled by a ductless mini-split offering both heating & cooling in an efficient and quiet manner.

We happily provide unlimited hi-speed internet (Spectrum approx 75Mbps download speed) for our guests who like to stay connected or are on a working vacation. The smart television is not connected to cable or satellite, but does offer Netflix and guests are welcome to access their own accounts as well (don't forget to bring your password).

The front garden is a cornucopia of colorful plants and fun seating areas. A propane BBQ grill is provided.

The town of Three Rivers, population under 3,000, has its own elementary school, several churches, hotels, gas stations, grocery stores, cool restaurants, a brewery, hardware store, a bank, and a handful of unique stores offering local arts & crafts. The town's boundary runs right up to the park entrance so you can't get any closer to Sequoia than Three Rivers if you are looking for convenient lodging while exploring the giant sequoias.

Come, be our guest at the Blue Oak Bungalow where you will feel the warmth of our hospitality, and the memories you take home will be enhanced by your stay in our little neck of the woods.

If you are traveling with four-legged family members, we do welcome them but ask that you follow the guidelines explained in the "Pet Addendum" portion of our Rental Agreement.

**Please trust that we will go above and beyond to exceed your expectations. Thank you for including the Blue Oak Bungalow in your accommodation options.**

**In light of the tremendous effect COVID-19 has had on the travel industry, we strongly encourage you to consider purchasing CFAR (Cancel For Any Reason) travel insurance. On our end, we will continue to clean and disinfect the house to the highest standard possible. We want to assure you that the health and comfort of our guests is of primary importance to us. We always provide an exceptional level of cleanliness, but we are intensifying our efforts to ensure nothing is overlooked.**

Just what we needed

After the fires in Los Angeles we wanted a relaxing weekend alone in the mountains with fresh air. We got exactly that. The drive up was beautiful, check in couldn’t have been more clear, the property is beautiful, and kitchen is fully stocked. My husband and I relaxed in the backyard with our babies and watched the sunset, grilled dinner each night and enjoyed the string patio lights that gave it so much charm. The wild turkeys and quail are fun to watch (although our dog thought otherwise lol).The bed was comfortable and they even provided a pack n play saving us some space when packing. Next time we go back to Sequoia we will stay here again, I can’t imagine staying anywhere else.

Paradise in the Mountains

Where to begin?? There is so much to say about this absolutely wonderful place. For starters, the house is immaculately decorated and very cozy. Ample space and you feel right at home. Robin is a phenomenal host. The town of Three Rivers has a lot to offer despite its small size. Access to the national park is literally minutes away and you can reach some of the best sites within an hour. My family and I will be back!

relaxing stay in beautiful location!

this property is even better in person than the photos. We had a fabulous time in the yard watching the birds and deer. There's lots of nice seating areas and lighting for the evening. The inside is updated and has everything you need- down to puzzles and games. AC handled 95+ degree days easily. Close to everything in town and the park but very quiet and restful.

Overall one of the best

Great location south of Sequoia national Park. Easy directions, check-in, quiet, nice neighborhood, quiet little town of three rivers with places to eat. Very easy check-in, hostess was wonderful, great decor, super comfortable beds. Perfect for two long-term friends to vacation together, but have their own separate places. One of the best places I’ve stayed on VRBO.

Sequoia getaway

Greeted with a welcome sign and some fresh baked bread! Very scenic view of the foothills/ mountain. Nice open, airy house full of light. Relaxing area outside to sit. Got to see wild turkeys, quails and woodpeckers which my dad enjoyed. The bed was very comfortable so slept well. Thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Great Location

We loved Blue Oak Cottage. The decor was lovely and the set up was perfect for adults who wanted to be together yet wanted privacy as well. There is a lovely clawfoot tub that is kind of a big step to get into so if there are any disabilities that could be a challenge but there was a bathtub mat for slippage. Loved seeing the family of deer walk by.

Lovely Home Close to Sequoia NP

We stayed here for 3 nights over the Fourth of July to do some hiking in Sequoia and King’s Canyon. The house is in a great location, with easy access to the park as well as Three Rivers dining. It was spotless and well stocked with blankets, cookware, and everything else we needed. The beds were very comfortable as well. Highly recommend!

Sequoia Stay

We had a wonderful stay while visiting Sequoia National Park. The house is in a great location for getting to the park. The house is great. Very comfortable. We had everything we needed. We did not utilize the detached room, but walked over to check it out. It was very nice. The views are beautiful from the back yard and there are lots of interesting plants. We watched a turkey walk through the back yard one evening and a deer across the street the next day. So cool! Our host left loaf of fresh baked bread which was delicious and so very thoughtful. What a lovely personal touch! We highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful Home and Great Location

Robin is a great host. Her property is decorated well, spacious, and has a nice outdoor area. It’s near a nice town that has good coffee and food, right on the river. Our stay was great. The home has many windows, and privacy so that no one can see in. Something to note is that there are some windows that have no blinds. You will likely wake up with the sun if you do not have an eye mask. I would definitely stay here again.

Home away from home

Blue Oak Bungalow was a delightful place to stay for four nights with friends. It was within 8 minutes of the Ash Mountain entrance to SNP. The property is somewhat secluded on a quiet residential street. The landscape and terrain had several different seating areas with their own personality for our enjoyment. The separate cottage gave both couples privacy and the cabin was a welcoming community area for meals, games and entertainment. Robin was very responsive through text communication and gracious with our unexpected needs. She welcomed us with freshly baked bread and thoughtful welcoming touches. We would return here in a minute if visiting the area again in the future.

My sister, brother-in-law and I greatly enjoyed our stay with Robin. The house and cottage were clean, welcoming and comfortable. We greatly appreciated the fresh bread waiting for us, the turkey visitors, and loved the artwork on display! It was a perfect location as a base for exploring Sequoia National Park and we loved our hikes - particularly Little Baldy, Moro Rock and the Congress Trail.

This home is so beautiful. The decor is very classy. We didn’t worry about breaking things the whole time. Homemade bread waiting for us was so so nice. We used the bread for a few days even. Nice amenities and consumables for us to use. The cottage as a separate space was really nice. The outside space had a lot of different options. Beautiful views. Even wild turkeys wandering the property. Very close to Sequoia Ntl Park.
