For Families That Want To Bond!

Foosball, ping pong, river access, lounge on the back patio, BBQ, socialize, and play some corn hole! This place is meant for families that just want to bond.

Located in a small family friendly subdivision where you can listen to the sounds of the river in the backyard and stare at the stars while relaxing on the patio. We have a game room, living room, large kitchen, and three bedrooms for everyone to spread out Come check us out!

The space

Three Bedrooms, two bathrooms over 1600 square feet of house space plus a large backyard patio for family to gather.

This home is located in a subdivision, which means that you will not be secluded from other people. The benefit to being in the neighborhood is that it is one of the few areas in Three Rivers where it is safer to take an evening stroll or bike ride.

You are allowed to access the river directly behind the house but you are not allowed to walk up and down the river bank. Everything is private property, please do not trespass. The River is seasonal and not guaranteed to have water year round.

Other things to note:

There is no smoking on the property, inside or outside due to complaints from the neighbors. Any signs of smoking, vaping, etc. will result in a $250 fine/cleaning fee.

This is a quiet family friendly neighborhood therefore we do not allow parties or late night social gatherings. Quiet hours are 9:00 PM to 9:00 AM. You will be removed immediately without a refund from this location if we receive any complaints from the neighbors.

The river is all private property, please do not trespass on our neighbors properties! Obey the signs! River is Seasonal!

Great time with family
Beautifully decorated and updated home with a great outdoor space to enjoy the backyard river which was in full flow (early May). We enjoyed moving between sitting in the shaded spots of the backyard to watch and listen to the river and also spending time relaxing in the game room with the French doors open so we could hear the river while playing family games together. Very fun and relaxing stay!

This was our 3rd time at the property. The backyard of this property is amazing, with the river running in your yard. The inside of the house could use some TLC, but overall good.

Beautiful Home on the River
Our family had a wonderful time visiting. Check-in was easy. The backyard is so inviting and the patio overlooking the river is beautiful. The kitchen is big and fully stocked. We had fun playing cards at night in the game room. The kids enjoyed the foosball table and ping pong table. The only thing we didn’t prefer is that the master bathroom doesn’t have a door, just a shear curtain which the kids didn’t like due to no privacy. Overall a fabulous stay!

Great Stay!
Our family enjoyed our stay at this home. There was plenty of room for the four of us! The house was well stocked for our stay. We made breakfast daily and grilled steaks on the patio BBQ. My husband and I enjoyed our morning coffee outside listening to the sound of the river. The AC and fans were definitely needed for the high temperatures we experienced during this July trip. The house is close to everything. We spent a day in Sequoia National Park, rented a boat on the Kaweah Lake, and visited some of the local businesses. We had a great vacation!

Enjoyed Our Stay
Overall, we had a great time! We visited Sequoia National Park, went to the local honey holes to enjoy the river, walked down to the river from the house to catch fish and frogs and got to enjoy local ice cream. It would have been a much better experience if we weren’t in the middle of a drought and it was the heat wave weekend. Nonetheless, fun was had by all!!

Cozy house with lots of room and a great backyard
Great place to stay with a family. House advertised as described. Spacious with good heating and hot water. Beds were comfortable. Loved the foosball and the outdoor ping pong table (even in winter!). Large bay window looking outside at the river and mountains. Very close to south entrance of Sequoia National Park. Only downside but out of control of the owner was that internet connection was spotty bc of the unusual wet weather. There is wifi so when signal is strong wifi is available. There’s a village market 1.5miles down the street. It’s very pricey but is a decent grocery store with meat, produce, dried goods, frozen and alcohol aisles.

Wonderful retreat near Sequoia National Park
This was a lovely house for our family to stay a few nights. Nice, quiet neighborhood and good location. Beautiful backyard with a number of visiting birds in the AM. All the games were a great touch. Everything inside was recently updated and clean. Only nitpicks/suggestions were a couple rather minor items in disrepair (like a closet door or door handle). The kitchen could have been better supplied for a longer term stay, but nothing was absent that was listed. We would definitely stay here again!

The most peaceful back yard ever!
This was a very beautiful house overall. Nice kitchen. No dining table so that could be a little inconvenient for some. For us it was fine. The back yard was the BEST! I can only imagine how amazing it would during summer/spring/fall season. My husband was disappointed that it did not have the steam shower like it showed in the pictures. Hopefully they will update the pictures. Overall it was a great place.

Photos and Description Didn’t Do It Justice...
This property was better than I expected from the listing. I had high expectations but they were exceeded once we arrived and saw the house and the incredible back yard overlooking the stream. The stream happen to be running while we were here which definitely led to the ambiance. Communication with management was incredible. Responsive and helpful throughout. We will be back. I highly recommend this property, especially for larger groups such as our group of seven.

Very nice and comfortable for family of 7
House was clean and spacious. Kitchen was great if you want to prepare your own meals. Patio space was beautiful for hanging out! Does not have a large dining table to seat all for meals but between seating space next to kitchen and patio space it was not a big deal. Sequoia and King's Canyon are wonderful, plan on doing a bit of driving as it takes an hour to two and half hours to get to various parts of the parks.

Lovely time at the river!
Wonderful five days at this house. Great location with an incredibly stocked kitchen and linen cabinet which was key four our family of five including three young children. The owner even left a little surprise for us which was much appreciated. Our only comment would be to balance the baffles for the heat as some bedrooms were cold while the master was way too hot even after I adjusted the vents. We would definitely recommend and hope to come back soon!
