Sequoia River Cabin ~ Romantic Rustic Retreat on Kaweah River ~ Close to Sequoia

The Sequoia River Cabin is nestled in the Sierra Nevada foothills, in a quaint hamlet known as Three Rivers, Gateway to the Sequoias. We are just 5 minutes (5 miles) to the Ash Mountain entrance of Sequoia National Park.

Our cute and cozy cabin has a well-equipped kitchen and a propane BBQ off the back deck. The cabin is ideal for a couple. The rear deck is just steps away from the Main Fork of the Kaweah River.

We are conveniently located on Sierra Drive, the main road through town, with the main fork of the Kaweah River just steps from the back deck. The private river setting allows for a true romantic getaway. There is a fire pit by the river to enjoy an evening fire and we do supply firewood.

Relax in the Sundance Spa / hot tub / jacuzzi on the back deck, listen to the sounds of the river and marvel at the Blue Heron and various duck species that call the river home. You just might see some deer at the river's edge.

In the evening, relax in the lounge chairs by the river and be mesmerized by the spectacular star-studded night sky.

In springtime, you can sit on the deck and catch a glimpse of the whitewater rafters and kayakers as they make their way down the river.

We offer plush towels, quality linens and we also provide bath amenities for our guests.
DirecTV and high-speed Spectrum WiFi are available as well.

This historic cabin was originally built as a fishing retreat decades ago and has evolved a number of times since then. In the '70s it was Little Rainbow, the workshop of our local silversmith. After that it became a private residence, and later a trendy coffee house named The Cabin. The Cabin later became The Buckaroo, serving hamburgers and sandwiches.


IMPORTANT ITEMS TO KNOW:

TRAVEL INSURANCE
It is essential for our guests to have travel insurance.
We are in a high Fire Severity Zone. Fire season is typically August-October.
In the event that a travel disruption occurs, we ask that you are covered as we don't issue refunds or extend stays due to usually being fully booked — and recommend you contact your insurer to assist with the cost of disrupted travel arrangements.


As shown in the pictures, we are located on the main road through town and you will hear some road noise at times.


The river behind our cabin is not deep enough for swimming. When it is deep enough for swimming, it is flowing too swiftly to safely go in but makes for excellent river rafting. The water level does get low at the very end of summer / beginning of fall, until we get some rain. You can walk downriver to where the north fork of the Kaweah River joins the main fork to a swimming hole.


PLEASE NOTE: NO VISITING GUESTS. Only the 2 guests who have reserved the cabin are permitted to stay per our insurance carrier, because they only cover the guests in the reservation.


NO SMOKING INSIDE THE CABIN. We are located in an extremely high-fire hazard area.


PLEASE NOTE: NO ANIMALS of any kind are allowed at this property. Members of our family have asthma and are extremely allergic to pet hair/dander. This poses a severe health hazard to hosts' family members and therefore there are no exceptions to this rule. You will be assessed a $250 deep cleaning fee if you bring your pet(s).

Fantastic find! We had some much needed downtime. We could walk to food and walk home after drinks. We were lucky enough to see a bobcat in the river.

Just like the scenery, pictures do not do this cabin justice. It is very beautiful and well maintained. Owners are very responsive and the cabin is stocked with anything you may have forgotten. Leaving was tough, but I hope to stay here again in the future

A private luxurious retreat
We love everything about this beautiful cabin by the river. The owners have made their cabin a private luxurious retreat! The cabin was well stocked with anything we could possibly need. The setting by the river is beautiful and we had our own private sandy beach. The interior is tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer!

Wonderful Cabin
This place was perfect for some relaxation after doing three National Parks. Unfortunately the road was closed to the closest Sequoia entrance but we had a great stay. This one has all the little extras to make it easy to just want to hang out and catch up. The hot tub was perfect after our long hikes. Hosts were great and provided quick responses and awesome detailed information about nearby attractions and restaurants.

Perfect find
This was the perfect cabin for a weekend getaway from LA! We wanted a cozy spot close enough to Sequoia NP for easy access to the park. This place fit the bill, and then some. The hosts are communicative, helpful, responsive, and thoughtful. The property is clean with every amenity you could want. The park entrance is a short 10 minute drive up the road and the pre-heated hot tub is a welcome sight after a day of trekking through sequoia groves. We hope to be back soon and definitely recommend this cozy cabin to others looking to visit the area.

Highly recommend and we hope to have more experiences like it in our future travels. We’d not hesitate to book again if we are near 3 rivers. Thank you for an exceptional first Vbro experience!

Absolute beauty
Fantastic place to stay and relax. Everything is just so. The river is beautiful, do get the chairs out and sit in it cooling off and listening to the river go downstream. Sun beds, outside dining, great jacuzzi. Inside is equally impressive. Kitchen, coffe, kettle, bottle of wine on entering, chocolates. Nothing bad to note, great place.
