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)

BEST TIME TO VISIT:: Year round

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!

Memorable Stay

We really enjoyed our time staying at this property. It offered enough space for everyone in our family and provided a great background to make family memories. It was located near to the National Parks and other activities of interest and we loved spending time in the secluded, private river out back. Highly recommend!

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.
