Quirky house in a great location

Fun, quirky house in a great location. Pros...location! Well-stocked. Good communication with owner. Flexible floorplan for families. Cons...swimming hole is not at all private. House could use a deep cleaning and dusting. Bedding is not great. All in all a good property.

Great place to stay!

We had a large group of family stay for a few days. Loved the location and the house. It was very comfortable and enjoyable and well stocked with everything we needed. We especially loved the balconies on the river, although the river was a little loud this time of year. Beautiful!

New Year Celebration !!!

Everything was great! We had an amazing time. The property is right next to the river and, when windows are opened, you can either wake or sleep to it. About 5 minutes from the Sequoia national Park entrance. If you buy a pass, it’s good for seven days.

Breathtaking Views

While this location is quite dated and could use a deep scrubbing, the positives so much outnumber the minor negatives that this would absolutely be a place we would not only recommend to others, but would return to if we came back to this area in the future. The location to the entrance of Sequoia is amazing and makes your trip easy and convenient. Everyone from the Three Rivers community were so pleasant, welcoming and willing to help. Thanks for a wonderful family vacation!

Perfect family house and location

We had a five night stay with our grown children and our grandchildren, wish it could have been longer. Great place for a family gathering. We cooked/made all our meals in, good kitchen & had everything needed. The house and views are amazing, proximity to the river for cooling off was perfect as was quick access to the National Forest. Only reason for knocking a point off of cleanliness was due to a technical problem we learned the housekeepers and owner were already on; owner was very responsive. If we get the opportunity we will happily return.

Three rivers castle house

Overall our stay was positive. The location is outstanding. Close to the park entrance. Right on the river. Turkeys both mornings. Plenty of beds. The issue we had was that there was a miscommunication between management and cleaning crew. We checked into an unclean house and had to spend our first evening cleaning and doing laundry. Our first evening of two was pretty much wasted. After we got things cleaned up our stay was great. The cleaning lady came by and was super nice and sorry that we were subject to an uncleaned house at check in. The host did refund us the cleaning fee but I didn’t feel that just a cleaning fee reimbursement was enough. If it was my place I would have reimbursed at least half if not all of the first day. Oh well.

Deer and turkeys and dogs, oh my!

It's an older house with lots of character. We did get barked at by the neighbor dogs every time we went outside but we had wild turkeys and deer visit, so it made up for it. The constant sound of the river was fantastic! Plenty of parking, enough space we weren't tripping over each other. Fridge is glitch, needs replaced and door doesn't open all the way so drawer space is limited. Door shelves are breaking or missing barrier bars. Doesn't like to stay closed. We are an old and large family, the stairways were a bit steep and narrow but we just had to take them slow. Kudos to the 1/2 bath right by the front door! We had a great weekend with family up in the mountains with great views. A fun place to stay for a few days

Just what we needed

Such a great property! The view is to die for and the location near the national park was fantastic. Getting to the swimming hole is a little treacherous but totally worth it. Bring a ripe and you can lower stuff down then get yourself down. So appreciative of this property.

Family getaway

House did not meet expectation as it mention in the description. House supply was not met as it stated. Left us a small amount of dish soap didn’t last us for our 3 night stay. My family Ioves to cook the dish soap was gone the first day. We had to stop at the store to get more to last our stay. The breaker keeps triggering we can’t even use the ac wall unit or charged our phone in the third floor. It was so hot up there no one sleep in there until it was cooler in the evening. Wi-Fi totally sucks. Was not able to connect the tv to the Wi-Fi we went 4 days without Netflix or YouTube. My guest rather go sleep early. The bbq grill lit up in flame and burn my husband hand. They left a whole bowl of oil and a bowl of ashes inside the grill that was not dumped out so the oil lit up in flame. We had to clean it before even can use it. We came back from a day of hiking and found a ac tech waiting outside. We weren’t aware of it and weren’t notify that someone was coming. It was very disturbing. The washer and dryer take up over an hour to wash and dry 1 load of clothes and it dispense a small amount of water to wash the clothes under the large load. The water level was not even half and does not reach to the level of the clothes. Had to re wash my clothes when we got home. Was not able to get a hold of the host due to the poor Wi-Fi connection. Only connection I can get was on my way up to the top of the mountain where I can only get an amount of small cellular connection. The only thing I enjoy at this house was the view of the river. It was spectacular other then that I would not come back to this property or would not recommend.

So relaxing!

This is such a great house. Pictures and words do no justice. Very clean and extremely well stocked. Plenty of linens, dishes and books. Crockpot, rice maker and coffee pot available. Keep in mind there are 3 flights of stairs. Main floor is the living/kitchen/dining/half bath area. Top floor Master bdrm and bottom floor are 3 bdrm's and full bath. Plenty of space outside to relax and admire the river. A short but steep walk down to the swimming/fishing hole. We did catch 1 fish. Close to markets and Sequoia yet far from the busy city. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Tennison!

We had a large group of our family staying there and everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed the location of this home. The convenience of being right outside the park was great. We enjoyed playing in the river with the days being so hot. The house was clean snd well stocked. Thank me owner was responsive and accommodating.

Lots of room in house

House was nice enough. Cleanliness was not up to par. AC filters have long been overlooked. No new filters on site. Would not recommend for young children because of dangerous drop off on back of property. We didn’t have young children with us so we weren’t concerned. Private swimming hole was nice. A bit of a hike to get to. Neighbor is obviously not a fan of this home being rented as a vrbo and voiced his opinion on the subject. He made it very clear where we were allowed to swim ect. We didn’t hang out in yard as not to upset neighbor. Plenty of sleeping space for our 12 guest. Overall it’s a nice place to stay for a few days. Homeowner refunded us $100 for filthy ac filters. (With Covid concerns I’d change them after each guest for sure) Beautiful view from home. But if your family likes to hang outside like we do, this would not be the ideal home for that.

Great for a large family!

Stayed with four families and all of our children. Everyone had a balcony they loved for coffee in the morning or drinks in the evening. The children loved being right next to the river. The house was stocked better than any VRBO I’ve ever stayed at. Dish soap, hygiene products, toilet paper. I was shocked. There was coffee & creamer and extra bedding. If you’re taking a large group into Sequoia this is definitely the house for you.

White Castle was all we hoped it be!

Family reunion with our daughter/family and our son/family (11 of us total). The house was perfect with plenty of room. The views from each window were breath-takingly beautiful! We all loved the architecture and colorful tiles in the bathrooms. The downstairs bath was great as the make-up table, toilet and shower were separate allowing the use of 3 individuals to use independently. The only negative was the difficulty of getting to the river. I have RA and couldn't descend the trail down but the other 10 members did and enjoyed cooling off after hiking in the Sequoia's at the end of the day. Thank you Tennison for sharing your home with us and always responding quickly to our questions!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Three Rivers is a very special place, and for some a hidden California gem! Nestled in the foothills, you can be at the sequoia trees within 45 minutes, or be on the lake in 15...the nights are star-filled, the weather is always amazing, the hum of the river slides you into immediate relaxation! The town has a population of roughly 3,000 people, so it is small yet still provides many necessary amenities...a few restaurants, two markets, gas stations, art galleries, video store, gift shops, organic farm, and more...the house is a couple of miles from the entrance to Sequoia National Park and one mile from entrance to Mineral King! The Kaweah Lake is a man-made reservoir lake which provides for great bass fishing, recreational water skiing, jet skiing, houseboat rentals and more.

What makes this property unique

The 'White House' has its own private swimming hole, perfect for sunbathing, swimming and fishing! The house was built with views in mind...most windows and decks face east toward the park. The granite rocks at the entrance to the house have the original 'grinding holes' by the local Indian tribe, the Potwisha, who would grind acorn into maze, their most common food! The house is awesome in many ways...it was built with entertaining in mind, there is a very nice flow of spaciousness and can support many guests comfortably, or be the perfect getaway for a couple! FYI AT&T is only cell service in Three Rivers, but the house does have wifi and a landline!
