June 2025 stay: You can’t swim/get in the water at this property. There’s no good or safe entry/exit location to the water. Under couches, furniture, and base boards could use a good sweep and wipe down. Owner/management was easy to work with, and accommodating. I can’t remember if I read this in the posting but none of the bathrooms are attached to bedrooms. The outdoor area was okay. It was just too hot for us to enjoy. Entry to Sequoia National Park was not far from the house. There’s a small local grocery store, but if you need something specific, I recommend stopping at the largest town nearby to get what you need. That’s like 35-40 mins away. Everyone in the little town was friendly!

magical place and I’ve never been until nowHaving the river right in the back yard was absolutely perfect. The home feels like you are in your own little world. Huge backyard! and when you want to leave it you can walk down the street to a Little bar Or take a drive into the park. Also need to find out what mattress’s the host used because it was the best sleep! Spending my 40th bday here was the best way to start a new chapter

This was the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in! It’s 5 miles from Sequoia National Park entrance. There is an amazing ice cream and candy shop two houses over and River bar and grill was next door to the candy shop. We were a family of 12, we all fit comfortably with plenty of seating for everyone! We were right on the river we spent a lot of time swimming in the river! This place had a very nice bon fire area with lots of seating, a screened in deck for those chess tournaments and a casita that consisted of a queen bed and bunk beds it was just 45 bucks for the cleaning fee , so worth it!! The house has gorgeous views with deer and baby coyote daily across the river. The place was very clean and stocked with small things you may need while staying there. We definitely will be back to this place again!!! Thanks for all the wonderful memories

Nice Property but...

The property is nice and a good location. Unfortunately the entire outdoor patio area on the main level was under construction. We called VRBO and explained that we could not allow the kids or adults to go out on that level due to the rebar and wood stakes in place. The house was great, but the unsafe condition was not disclosed at the time of booking and on a Spring Break weekend, finding a new place for all of us was not an option. Very disappointing that the owner and VRBO both didn't seem concerned.

Beautiful House with River Access

Perfect house for the family to get together. Every bedroom has a view of the river. Large hosting area with plenty of seating. The option for the extra studio was perfect for the teens to have their own space but be right there. The river was beautiful to look at and water felt amazing but it definitely was stronger than excepted so be careful with younger ones.

House overall and housekeeping upgrade needed

The house is in a beautiful location with the river behind it very great for entertaining teenagers and kids. The house, however, was filthy. The entire house needs an overhaul: the walls need painting, the floors need a good clean up, bathrooms do too, as well as the stove, the kitchen cabinets. The linens and towels need an upgrade. They should hire an exterminador to control the spiders and huge bugs that live inside the house and scare the heck out of guests. The outdoor spaces were also dirty. We couldn’t hang outside either. An immediate recommendation for the cleaning crew is to leave the ACs on prior to guests’ arrival. It took us at least 10 hours to get to a comfortable temperature. It was a horrible experience with all guests feeling desperate with the filth and heat. Unfortunately, we will not come back to this house despite the beautiful river and closeness to the park. 😞 We were extremely disappointed 😔!

What a location

My wife did all the research and booked this place because it was large enough for our group. I am sure glad she did. This place has the best view/location. Not only are you on the river but you are walking distance to a fancy chocolate and ice cream shop. The place was clean, had plenty of extra blankets and pillows, multiple TVs, WiFi, and some amazing floor to ceiling windows that let you watch the river flow from indoors. There was also plenty of outdoor seating, a picnic area, a bbq and lots of parking in the front. We may come back again in the summer to experience it in the warmer weather and to see more of Sequoia.

Nice property, except for....

This is a fine property that needs some TLC and/or preventative maintenance to bring up to speed. The a/c was inadequate to cool the house and we did have someone come out to clean the condensers, but the system needed to be re-charged or upgraded to be effective. Had there had been curtains in the living room this could have been mitigated. This could or should be an item that is taken care of before the next guests arrive. The septic system had backed up on the last day we were here and fortunately a crew was in the neighborhood to clean the tank. Because of the use this home receives, this service should be done more than once every three months. If the above named items are corrected I would feel this would be a 4-5 star review.

We stayed in July and the weather approached triple digits. The cooling system couldn’t handle it and the temperature inside approached 90 degrees. Not sure what the owner could have done, but the heat took something out of our stay. Beautiful views and nice rooms. No laundry could be found.

Stay anywhere else

The county downgraded the flood evacuation order to a warning a week before we were supposed the check in and the warning remained in place through the duration of our reservation. We called the county’s flood task force hotline and they unequivocally told us not to come. Jasmine (or Andrea or Victoria, her name changed a few times throughout the process) refused to acknowledge the county’s guidance and warnings and refused to cancel the reservation with a refund. We didn’t come to three rivers and she kept our money. I hope she at least spent it on something lavish. I have stayed in dozens of home shares and have had some wonderful interactions and experiences with my hosts. This one is literally the worst. Save yourself the frustration and book a different house.

Great location, well furnished cabin

I loved the location of the property with river access. The view is gorgeous from the living room and deck above where you can hear the river flow. The place is well furnished too. The only thing is the coffee maker was super dirty and we had to clean it ourselves, otherwise kitchen was okay. I hosted my boyfriend’s birthday party here with 12 friends and we had a really good time.

Amazing location and property, but needs some work to be great.

The location an property were great, however there were a few glaring flaws that really tainted the experience. 1) We found a spider so large we struggled to fit it in the glass we trapped it in. We found 5-6 other large spiders and a few cockroaches through out our stay. 2) There was a lot of broken glass on the steps down to the river. This was particularly disappointing since the river was so beautiful. 3) The house is a 4 bedroom property with a 5th separate room available for $40. This was great, but very confusing since the fees added to the total cost when people are added is different than the room fee. You must select the extra room and pay for it separately on Vrbo. This seemed super silly to not roll it into the over $700 of cleaning and service fees we were already charged. It also made check in awkward when the room was not available and we had to scramble to figure out why. 5) The WiFi worked for about an hour over three days. I will give them credit that they tried to reset the router a couple of times, but we gave up asking after a bit. This may have been a service provider issues, but I would not count on the WiFi if you need it. 6) The add lists coin laundry available, but apparently it is behind a locked door. Not really an issue, but could be more accurate. Overall just disappointed, the property was in the perfect location, and the property was updated with a beautiful view. The general house was very clean, but they need to put out some spider repellent and clean up the outside a bit. I really hope I caught the cleaning crew on an off day, but I probably wouldn't not stay there again.
