Relaxing and unique

Very inviting and relaxing place to stay very close to Sequioa National Park entrance. Cows were our neighbors. I love it. There was a cute baby bunny that hung around and Bettina left us delicious plums to eat.

Great stay while visiting Sequoia National Park

We had a very nice stay here while visiting the national park. The cottage is close to the entrance of Sequoia, and it was a nice place to relax after a busy day. We were going to be arriving pretty late the first day, and the owner was easy to communicate with. She left lights on, and made it easy for us to find the place. She was very kind, and picked us some fresh fruits from the property. I would recommend this property.

Relaxed at Three Rivers

Our 8-day stay at Bettina’s organic farm was stellar. We were initially attracted by the emphasis on sustainability and wildlife (Bettina has an impressive bird list), and our actual experience surpassed even our highest expectations. Bettina was gracious and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Her advice on best places to visit in the parks was spot on. We saw about 22 species of birds, some of which were on Bettina’s property (we especially enjoyed seeing the Great Blue Heron and Great Egret at the pond, and the Anna’s Hummingbirds and bees on her flowers). Added to the birds were some 8 species of mammals, including several sightings of bears in the parks and in Three Rivers. Seeing the giant sequoias was a humbling experience! It was a great vacation that we hope we can repeat at some point.

Beautiful, peaceful, amazing!

My wife’s and my one-week stay was simply amazing. The space offered lots of room, comfort, had a rustic feel, and gave incredible views of the surrounding farm and mountains. Bettina was an absolute joy to meet and was very welcoming and attentive. Fantastic location to visit the Sequoia National Forest. If I could I would give my stay six out of five stars!

Quaint farmhouse

Adorable property with the excellent access to Sequoia national park. The miniature donkeys, Dixie and Cody, and mustang, Bayboy, were my daughter's best friends for the week. What a special treat! The owner was wonderful, very easy to communicate with, and answered/solved all of our questions and problems. Would definitely stay here again!

Loved it!

We loved our stay at the cozy cabin! Of primary importance, all of the beds (and pillows) were very comfortable and each of us slept well. The home was charming, and we really enjoyed our stay. Heat worked well; loved the little separator door between the bedrooms and the living section of the house. Plenty of hooks by the entrance for jackets or wet things. Bettina went above and beyond with fresh fruit from her trees, helpful guidance about the park & local restaurants, and she graciously made it possible for us to visit with some nearby donkeys, horses, and other animals. She is able to unobtrusively add to the enjoyment of the stay and we are glad we chose her property (and met her!). We cooked light breakfast daily. My kiddo enjoyed exploring the property, and the stars, birds, and crickets were all lovely additions. We would stay again without hesitation.

We Loved the Farmhouse!

My family and I stayed at the farmhouse during our trip to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. The house was very comfortable, and the owner, Bettina, was very hospitable. She shared her home, books, toys, garden, and animals with us, and even took the time to answer the many questions that my kids (2 and 5) had even though she was a very busy lady. My kids loved the farm so much that they begged to take days off from visiting the parks so they could stay with the animals. They loved feeding grass and hay to the horse and donkeys; they had "Buddy" the dog accompany them everywhere; they said "hi" to the rooster, hen, cats, and ducks often; and my son loved picking strawberries, tomatoes, and greens from the garden. The little splash pool behind the house kept them cool in the summer heat, and the outdoor bathtub was fun for them and allowed for easy cleanup. The house was well-stocked with all the essentials we needed; it was close to the entrance of Sequoia National Park; and there were many restaurants, as well as a well-stocked grocery store nearby. We all really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again someday.....my son keeps asking if we can just go to visit the farm sometimes even if we are not going on vacation, and my daughter plays "farm" with her animals, who all now have the same names as those on Bettina's farm. :) Thanks Bettina!

Great place to stay for visiting Sequoia National Park

This place is perfect for escaping from urban life! We got to stargazing right in front of the house. The house is also super close to Sequoia National Park so we don't have to wake up earlier to get into the park.

Country Living

It's a little farm. Rustic Wooden home. Clean and warm with Old rooms with character. Nice front porch to drink wine on and look at the full moon that lights up the valley of hills in front of you. To the side of the house is an open field with 100 head of cattle grazing. Two donkey and a horse are on property to entertain you. Will go back again for sure.

A Little Piece of Paradise

I can't say enough about our stay at Bettina's lovely farmhouse - it was the perfect place for our family of four (including two young children) to call home as we explored several nearby national parks. Everything was just as described in her listing, and quite frankly, the house was even lovelier than the photos give it credit. Despite the soaring temperatures outside (+100F), the house was always cool and comfortable, and in the early evenings and mornings, the kids loved puttering around the grounds to pick plums or say hello to the farm animals. Despite a forgetful mistake on my part regarding check-in, Bettina was the loveliest and most generous host - she made our visit feel more like a stay with a beloved family friend rather than an impersonal rental. We unfortunately spent very little time at the house because we were busy out in the parks, but rest assured that you will be very comfortable here and that the town of Three Rivers will take care of most any needs you can think of. The local market was great for picking up groceries, a cute local coffee shop fueled us for long early morning drives, and Reimer's provided the perfect place to enjoy a homemade ice cream treat at the end of a long day. We hope we have the opportunity to visit again, and couldn't recommend a stay at Bettina's beautiful farmhouse highly enough.

The house is full of the most interesting, rustic and eclectic decor. Things I would never think of putting together but somehow it works and the house is beautiful. It’s smelled like lavender when we arrived and all it was cozy and clean. The bathrooms, linens and kitchen were all very clean. The owner is very nice and responds to your questions right away. My kids loved this place and they did not want to leave. I would stay here again. Beautiful inside and out just a lot of little critters! Bring bug spray.

This farmhouse was a magical spot for us to relax near Sequoia National Park. The property was ideal with plenty of space inside & out. We loved the horse, donkeys, dog & cat and even enjoyed viewing the neighbors cows! Our host Bettina is a gem, she was helpful, hospitable & engaged. There’s a market nearby and a well equipped kitchen so we were able to cook some meals. The farmhouse is also very close to restaurants, coffee shops & an antique store. We were very happy to relax on the farm between jaunts to the park. Guests even have the privilege of enjoying Bettina’s organic fruit! I definitively recommend a visit to the farmhouse & hope to return!

Gorgeous Expansive Oasis -- love!!!

We feel so fortunate to have stumbled across this incredible property and owner! Bettina was fabulous and took care of every last detail for the comfort of our stay. She generously provided us with bounties of fruit from her trees and most all of the products in the house are non-toxic and natural. Her home is perfect for a family with children and the air conditioning units both upstairs and down provided a welcome respite from the warm days and a long adventure up at Sequoia National Forest. Her beds are so comfortable, water pressure is great, well-equipped kitchen and beautiful spacious common area that feels natural and beautiful with large picture windows all around to enjoy the outdoors from inside. Plenty of things for the kids to do. Little brook in the back and patio area to sit on outside, lots of herbs that you are welcome to pick; we saw rabbits, played ping-pong, there are lots of games in the house, and even a television with Netflix if you feel the need. Wonderful energy, so home-y. Went out on the little pond in the rowboat, our children spent a lot of time with the donkeys and horse, and Bettina even let our daughter help with feeding and caring for them. We had a wonderful relaxing time away from the big city; would highly recommend to anyone and we will definitely be back. So grateful for this place 💗

Charming home near Sequoia State Park

Excellent place to stay. Very spacious place with cozy charm. Well furnished with eclectic antique looking furniture. We ate breakfast outside in the backyard enjoying the serene sounds of a babbling Brook. Bettina was very attentive and shared some of her delicious apricots and mini plums. She also has a mini fire pit and ping pong table and tetherball available. Musical instruments inside too. Great place for adults and kids. Bettina’s dog, Buddy, is super sweet! Of course there are little critters (spiders and other insects) around bc it’s on a farm but other than that, it was a great hidden gem in an excellent location. So close to the Sequoia Park entrance. I highly recommend!

We loved this property! It was perfect for our one week family trip to visit Sequoia National Park. The house is rustic and charming, with lots of interesting stuff to keep the kids entertained. The AC worked great. The setting is green, natural, and quiet, with a nice pond and small creek, fruit trees, and herbs. The kids loved greeting the animals each day.

Relaxing Christmas vacation

My husband and I visited this amazing farm with our 3 year old this week. We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. The house is spacious, super comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. The grounds have donkeys, a horse, Kittys, ducks and a dog. Our daughter would love seeing them get fed and would go say hi to all of them everyday . Ms Bettina is the best hostess. Our daughter loved her. She had some really good apples picked out for us as a welcome gift and gave our daughter some thoughtful gifts for Christmas. Super sweet! She was readily available to answer any questions we had. We made multiple trips to the park in our week long trip but we were perfectly content at the farm on the days we couldn't make it up to the park. It was a wonderful , relaxing vacation ! We will definitely be back :)

Wonderful place inside and outside!!

Staying here in the labor day weekend was really amazing for us. If you want to add another exciting event on Sequoia visit, staying at this farmhouse is one of best options. We enjoyed relaxing barefoot in the spacy room, seeing so many stars on the deckchair by the creek and strolling around the farmhouse. Nice restaurants and café are in the neighborhood. Our favorite was to buy a fresh pizza at Sierra Subs and bake it in the farmhouse. Last, I cannot forget to say that our 2.5 year old daughter really loves the farmhouse. When we were in Sequoia park, she said “I wanna go home!!” It meant she wanted to go back to the farmhouse!! There are many goods for her like dolls, blocks and instruments. She really loved to meet duckies, a horse, donkeys, a dog and cats every morning. Especially, duckies were her new friends!! They were so friendly to our little baby. We were lucky to meet Bettina. She was really helpful and let us enjoy to pick some fruits and leaves at her garden. This place made our days!!
