THE RIVER AND THE 2 DECKS::
You will find a beautiful trail that lead you to our picturesque river with endless boulders!! There you will find two large decks over the river and sitting areas along the river. This area is absolutely breathtaking!
The Southfork River is beautiful all year round. Like all natural rivers the  Rivers has high seasons and low.  In the spring and early summer it is high and fast moving. As summer wanes the river slows and lower but never completely dies up. We are fortunate to have water year round so you will always enjoy the soothing sounds of the river. Children must be chaperone at all time especially near the river.  Please be cautious of current, especially during winter and early spring.
(The 2 decks are located at the river area. The river area where the decks are is just a short stroll  from the house.)

AROUND::
The Sequoias and surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains are some of the best that California has to offer. Centrally located, the house is about 15 minutes drive to the main entrance to Sequoia National Park station and both Slick Rock recreation areas and King’s Canyon National Park, and just a 10 minutes from Three Rivers town restaurants and shops. A nature lovers paradise, there are plenty of areas to hike, bike, fish, and swim; and during the summer months, world-class white-water rafting and kayaking. Lake Kaweah, surrounded by the golden hills of California’s lower Sierra Nevada mountains, is just five miles downstream and a hot spot for boating and fishing.

LOCATION::
Three Rivers, California. Nearest Airport: Yosemite/Fresno International (1 hr/70 miles)

Three Rivers
Our family had a great time at the River House. The property was gorgeous and we all enjoyed walking to the River, sitting on the porch looking at the mountains and listening to the sound of the River. The house was good and comfortable. The kids loved the game room. Just a few things would have made the house a 5, too, but we would definitely stay there again. Had that peaceful, easy feeling!

Very good secluded stay outside Three Rivers
This location is about a 15 minute drive up a small mountain road from the main town of Three Rivers. The house itself is nice and clean, with two main bedrooms and a third living room or sun room in the front of the house without a closet that has been transformed into a third larger bedroom with 2 queen beds.There are no bunk beds in the house, in spite of a picture of bunk beds on the listing. The kitchen is not well appointed with pans that would be thrown away by someone who was expected to use them regularly. However, overalll the house is a nice size for 6 people and the location is very nice, just a short walk from a beautiful deck by the river.

Perfect SNP Retreat
Our group of 8 had a wonderful stay at this property, including 4 kids ranging from 6-11 years old. The house was clean and nicely laid out so that we didn't feel at all crowded. We were able to make several family-style meals in the kitchen. Our kids LOVED the arcade games in the sun room and would go running to relax after long days of hiking. The quick access to the decks and river was great for a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. The host's communication leading up to our trip was top-notch, and even when we had a small power outage during our stay, he kept us well informed of the issue and even had his staff bring us ice to keep everything in our refrigerator cool. The nighttime view of the stars was breath-taking. We loved feeling remote, yet able to get down into town and to SNP relatively quickly. Everything about our experience was A++!!

Prime time family time!
Visiting family 1 mile down the road. The home was great for accomadating our family from Oakhurst and New Jersey. 8 of us stayed, plenty of room. The kitchen was well stocked and the dining area large enough to host family meals for 10. The listing is accurate, the river was beautiful and the host's were easy to communicate with. We will definitely rent again on another family visit.

Fantastic home base for Sequoia and Kings Canyon!
Great property in a great location! We had a group of 6 and it worked really well. 1 of the bedrooms is a bunk room that would accomodate a larger group/family well. Three Rivers was an awesome place to visit with great food - all guided by our tremendous host. From the moment we committed to the trip, our host was communicating at a super high level to ensure the stay was all we imagined - and more. Coffee on the deck by the river was fantastic!

Great Home in a Beautiful Spot
The home was really nice and the property and surrounding land were even better than the pictures. Our kids really liked the game room and we were able to have fun down at the creek. Owners were great and helpful leading up to and during the trip. Internet is pretty slow due to how remote the property is, so I’d recommend taking advantage of being isolated and just not plan on relying on internet access much. I’d definitely recommend this to any families looking for a relaxing getaway, with good access to nearby activities

Relaxing by the River
From booking, we had excellent communication with the owner, providing us recommendations, advice, and check-in information for our stay. The house is beautiful with the open floor plan and areas to relax. There is plenty of comfortable seating and we found ourselves relaxing by the river or chatting and playing cards on the back deck of the house. The kitchen was setup with everything we needed to cook, even with dishes for our kids. I loved how open it was with the windows overlooking the back yard and into the game room. The beds were comfortable with pretty linens and pillows. There were plenty of towels (large bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths) for everyone. We did not use the washer and dryer but loved that it was available. Overall, the house was incredible, the host was amazing, and the location was perfect for visiting Sequoia.

Wonderful property and great host
The host was a great communicator. There were no issues with the home. The property is fantastic. We saw all kinds of wildlife, enjoyed the river, and got to town and the NP easily. Days were full of outdoor activities and evenings were cooking, games and time with family and friends. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 kids. Wish we had stayed 5 nights instead of only 4. Thank you for sharing your home. Sequoia and Three Rivers draws me back time and time again. It’s such a peaceful, beautiful place.

About the host

Hosted by Srey Vivo

Host profile image
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 House 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.
