About this property

Ready to escape the city? Sequoia Falls, a luxury retreat on the river awaits..

Sequoia Falls, a riverfront zen retreat home in Three Rivers, California is the ultimate base camp for exploring the Sequoia National Park, the ideal meeting place for families and friends, and a creative sanctuary for those seeking inspiration and renewal. Total of 4 bedrooms/ 4 bathrooms - the main house has 3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms; the private detached guest house has 1 bedroom/1 bathroom. (8 guest max) We offer high-speed Spectrum cable internet (up to 1Gig download!) with expansive Wifi and Apple TV's for streaming.

We are located 3.5 hours from Los Angeles, 4.5 hours from San Francisco, 70 miles from Fresno Yosemite International Airport, and 3 miles from the entrance to Sequoia National Park. If you've not seen the Sequoias, now is the time! https://www.sequoiafalls.com/blog

VIDEO at the end of the PHOTOS tab. Sorry, but NO WEDDINGS or SPECIAL EVENTS.

Three Rivers is perched in the Sierra Nevada foothills at 1200ft, so it does not snow at the property during our mild winters. However, when you take the drive up into the Sequoia Park (5000ft+), it becomes a Winter Wonderland. Play in the snow and explore the Sequoias in the day, and then come down to your riverfront retreat for S'mores and hot chocolate around the campfire. Winter is a perfect time to getaway!

The home is located on a former gathering site of native American Indians, as evidenced by the mortars carved into the granite boulders and the pestle found on the property years ago. Today this beautiful spot continues to serve as a communal place for humans to reconnect with nature and each other. Perched above the Kaweah River and floating among a variety of oaks, the home has the feel of a Big Sur-inspired Japanese treehouse.

Sequoia National Park, America’s second oldest national park, is a must do day trip. No visit is complete without walking among the giant sequoias, including the General Sherman, believed to be the largest (and among the oldest at 2,300–2,700 years) living trees on the planet. Whether you pack your own picnic lunches (or pick them up from Sierra Subs, our local Yelp-Top 100 rated sandwich shop), having a picnic in Sequoia Park is an unforgettable experience. You can also opt for lunch at the Wuksachi Lodge, located just a few miles past the turn-off for the General Sherman tree.

Once you've walked the trail to the General Sherman tree, hiked the steps to the soaring peak of Moro Rock, explored the Crystal Cave and strolled through Crescent Meadow (and likely spotted black bears grazing), then it's time to come down the mountain where your luxury compound awaits: cook out on the grill, enjoy a nice bottle of wine, and roast S'mores around the campfire. After marveling at all the stars, you can retire to your private, well-appointed suite and let the river lull you into a restful sleep.

Tranquil and Beautiful

This was our first VRBO rental, and we were blown away with the details of a home away from home. The location is perfect to visit Sequoia and it was truly memorable being on the river. The kids loved it. The owner was very easy to communicate with. I highly recommend the property.

Hostess with the Mostess

Chris was absolutely one of the best hostess I have encountered. He kept me well informed before and during my trip. He provided such a wealth of information about his property and activities me and my family could do while on vacation. His communication was quick, concise, and always pleasant. I wanted to play games with my family and Chris went out of his way to make sure we had plenty of games even purchasing new ones for us. He also worked with me to allow us to check in early and check out late, which gave us more time to stay at his beautiful property. I only wish we stayed longer, as none of us wanted to go home. If you are looking for a property to relax, enjoy nature, and get away from the hustle and bustle, this is the property for you. Thank you Chris for allowing us to bring in the New Year with beautiful memories and scenery.

Had everything (and more) that we needed, layout of house is exceptional, so many places to relax on the property, river frontage is prime, stocked with games and activities for whole family.

Spectacular river front home with gorgeous design and abundant amenities.

Attention to design details, gourmet kitchen with all the appliances, tools and spices you would want. Private bedrooms and baths, luxurious beds and plenty of gorgeous gardens and outdoor spaces to relax in. 3 miles to the entrance to Sequoia National Park and all of its glory. Relaxing at night around the fire pit with the roar of the river was just perfect! 10 stars!

Amazing Property!

This Three Rivers house is a gorgeous mid-century modern ranch that is beautifully appointed. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen, laundry & baths are well stocked. We so enjoyed relaxing on the porch & listening to the sounds of the river. It was so fun exploring along the beach & river rocks. Chris, the host, was very quick to answer any questions we had leading up to our stay. He provided very detailed and useful info about the property. He also provided info about nearby grocery stores, Sequoia NP, restaurants, etc. We have stayed in many rental properties over the years and this is by far our favorite one ever.

A little slice of Heaven

Where do I start? From the moment of walking in it was a wow from everyone that was with us. Don’t worry about packing anything other than clothes and a few adult beverages They supply the rest If you want a great spot that’s close enough to the covenant of a store but feel like you have the entire river to yourself then this is the home for you!

Beautiful property

This was a great escape for my family. The house and lands were so we'll maintained and clean! The river was mellow enough that my 7 and 9 year old could swim and walk upriver (with life jackets). The rocks on the property were so fun to climb. We spent so much time outside, which was exactly what we needed. Due to COVID, we decided not to leave the property at all, and we made all of our meals in the wonderful kitchen provided. The only downside of this property was that our stay was way too short!

You'll Never Want To Leave...

Our family traveled from around the world, and our time at this AMAZING home exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, it was evident that the attention to detail was impeccable. Every aspect of the property is thoughtfully curated to ensure each guest's experience is both comfortable and luxurious. The unique decor and artwork, both inside and outside the property, created a truly unforgettable atmosphere. One of the highlights of our stay was the abundance of spaces for relaxation and enjoyment along the river. Whether it was lounging on the deck, gathering around the fire pit, or simply soaking in the serene surroundings, every moment spent outdoors was a joy. Waking up each morning to the breathtaking location on the river was a rejuvenating experience for all of us. The tranquility and beauty of the surroundings truly set the tone for each day and created memories that will last a lifetime. This home is a perfect family getaway for anyone seeking a luxury retreat in a breathtaking setting. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to stay here and cannot thank our host, Chris, enough for his hospitality. We will highly recommend your home to our friends and family, and we hope to have the opportunity to return in the future. Thank you again for an unforgettable experience. This home will feed your soul!

Paradise Found!

There are special properties and then there are SPECIAL properties—this one is one of the best. Dreamy inside and out, with every comfort already in place, Sequoia Falls exceeded all our expectations and getaway hopes. Initially we could not stop gushing to each other about how ideal, gorgeous, and well-executed everything was...and then—even better—after several days and nights we actually got used to it. By the end of our four night stay, we all found ourselves truly (truly!) relaxed. It’s been a bonkers year. Like everyone, our family was overdue for some serious decompression. Sequoia Falls: thank you. Listening to the river in the sunshine, moonlight, and fresh air was immensely grounding...downright healing. I’m a native Californian who has lived all over the state. This spot is the best of Nor Cal + So Cal, the perfect overlap, the oasis I’ve been looking for all my life. Afternoons were warm enough to sunbathe on the rocks (our six and seven year olds LOVED exploring) and nights were cold and cozy, perfect for sitting around the fire hanging out. We dug all three of the fire places, especially the little campfire on the “beach,” where the firewood had already been expertly placed in the ring for our enjoyment. The house itself was chic and luxurious—Cedarwood essential oil diffuser, amazing beds, impeccable lighting. Beautiful design throughout, splendidly curated books and games...I could go on and on. We cooked all our meals and were pleasantly surprised to find a wide variety of bar and kitchen equipment in very good condition. As far as vacation rentals go, this is rare—not something to take for granted! Knives were sharp, cast-iron pans were seasoned, cupboards and pantry more abundantly stocked than any place I’ve ever stayed. Plus, a personal welcome letter with an accompanying platter of organic, local produce (including two kinds of fresh lettuce; Romanesco; butternut squash; fresh potatoes and apples) was another above-and-beyond way to spoil guests. Chris and his team are hospitality experts. Literally nothing could have improved our stay. A+ ! P.S. Our pals, a couple with a pooch, joined us halfway through and stayed in the guest house. They raved about that adjacent spot as well!
