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.)

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.

We stayed here as a family of four (two boys age 6 and 8) and had a wonderful time! The boys loved both the game room and playing by the river. The backyard space is serene and beautiful— and the views from in the home are incredible as well! The rooms/beds/bedding was really comfortable. The host is super responsive, communicative, and will provide answers before you even think of the question. We loved our stay!

Sequoia and family
The property was beautiful and nicely kept. It is a bit inside so hard to find specially if it is late in the day. The natural surroundings and starry night make up for it though. The beddings can be updated and the kitchen can be better stocked for the first day of stay. Overall a very pleasant and relaxing experience.

Great place to stay
My family really enjoyed staying here. It was so close to the Sequoia National Forest and the house was beautiful with a river running close by. My kids loved the arcade games and surrounding area to explore, my husband and I loved the patio and eating our meals outside and sitting by the river drinking coffee.

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++!!
