Did not want to leave! Perfect everything!

From the minute we walked in the door…we were in heaven! We all felt like we walked into my mother’s home with the vintage vibe…but modern, zen-like, and every detail thoughtfully coordinated. The kitchen was perfect…the bedding heavenly…the pool glorious…I would change nothing! Communications with Kelly were timely, helpful, and so pleasant! Our adult daughter described our stay as magical…could not agree more. We will return and only tell our favorite people about this lovely home!

Midcentury Marvelous

Beautifully maintained property and very well appointed. Clearly, this place is a labor of love. We so enjoyed our time in three rivers mostly because of this house. It smelled and sounded like a spa when we walked in, which set the tone. I took pictures of all the amazing linens and have even already purchased the waffle bedspread that was in the primary bedroom!

Perfect Sequoia base camp

This house was a perfect oasis to get away from city life, and was a great base camp for our day exploring Sequoia National Park. The decor is incredibly beautiful. A/C worked well and pool was refreshing- both important features when it hits 110 degrees out! We will definitely be back.

Stay here if you get the chance

This house and surrounding property is stunning, and walking into calming diffusers and music was such a thoughtful touch. We enjoyed our time at the house, in the nearby Three Rivers, and in Sequoia/King's Canyon National park.

The Artist Oasis was a dream!!!

My favorite VRBO I've ever stayed at. Meticulously and beautifully curated, with no detail overlooked, this home was so comfortable and you can tell the owners have taken into consideration EVERY detail to make sure the traveler's needs are fulfilled and then some. The perfect base after adventuring in Sequoia. The views from the backyard are gorgeous, and the pool was the perfect treat after a long day in the park. We felt right at home and can't wait to come back! 100% will be back.
