We are a pet friendly property but we do require an additional $65 per pet(\*).

VISITING SEQUOIA NATIONAL FOREST The Sequoia National Forest is one of the best and easiest-to-access outdoor areas in Central California. Filled with dramatic mountains, lush trees, hidden hot springs, and roaring rivers, Sequoia National Forest is a true California gem for those who love the outdoors. Not to be confused with Sequoia National Park, Sequoia National Forest is free to visit and offers many incredible hiking and camping options. This National Forest is a great weekend alternative if you want to experience seeing granite tower peaks and giant Sequoia trees without waiting in long lines or paying big entrance fees. \*\*\*Here are 8 of the best day hikes in Sequoia National Forest: Trail of 100 Giants Dome Rock Trail Johnsondale Bridge River Trail Unal Trail Isabella Peak – Coso Mine Loop Trail Remington Hot Spring Trail Mill Creek Trail Kern River Trail \*\*\*Visitor Tips Before diving into the hike details, here are a few tips for visiting Sequoia National Forest: There is limited to no reception at many of these trails. Before you head out on any of the hikes we suggest that you download an offline route on AllTrails or Maps.Me hiking apps to avoid getting lost or taking the wrong turn. It’s free to visit and hike in Sequoia National Forest (except for the Trail of 100 Giants that does require a small fee for parking). When heading on these hikes be sure to bring extra water and check the weather before leaving. The temperatures at Sequoia National Forest can be extremely hot, especially in the summer. I’ve underestimated the weather in this region before and it can lead to dangerous situations. If you’re hiking near water sources, I also recommend bringing a Sawyer water filter so you can replenish your drinking water. Bring mineral sunscreen, lip balm, polarized sunglasses, and a hiking hat as our California summers just keep getting hotter and hotter. I always pack a first aid kit, headlamp, and a portable phone charger, even on quick day hikes. It’s always best to go prepared! \*\*\*Sequoia National Forest is also very dog friendly. Here’s a couple of things that I bring along when hiking with my dog: 2 Hounds No Pull Harness. I love this harness because it comes with multiple clip-on points providing more comfort for my dog and extra control for me when hiking. Collapsible dog bowl. A collapsible bowl is very handy for hiking as it folds small and is lightweight so it can easily fit in a small backpack. RUFFWEAR dog boots. The sand along these hikes can be burning hot especially in the summer months. I always keep these dog hiking boots in my backpack in case the sand gets too hot for my dog to walk on. Biodegradable poop bags. Dog’s waste can be harmful to wild animals and nature. It’s always good practice to bring extra poop bags and carry dog waste out on day hikes. These waste bags are also biodegradable – even better for Earth. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Microwave - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/124000000/123820000/123810200/123810170/2000f1a7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sequoia Oaks Ranch Guesthouse in Three Rivers Three Rivers - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=123810170&PinnedHotelID=123810170&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/88000000/87580000/87578200/87578179/w1242h1656x0y276-3a0d8bc0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Forget your worries in this serene country guest house.

The surrounding outdoor area had a lot of potential to be nice but instead was cluttered with junk and school busses. The tiny pond also had a lot of potential but again felt like you were “relaxing” in a junk yard. I knew it wasn’t going to be the Hilton but the photos make it appear much larger than it actually is. It was a quick overnight stay and it served as a place to sleep, but that was about it for us. ##### Erika J.

Without that I could not watch tv or use my phone. I had already gone to town to pick up dinner when I found this out or I would have sent an email while I had sevice. Fortunately I got a sandwich for dinner as there were no utensils. I never did locate a pond as the grass was too high to gostrolling through this time of year. ##### Teresa S. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Patricia 21 May 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Place could be nice. Shower was unsanitary and low water pressure. Pictures on site were deseptive. Outside had junk and parked school busses with junk. Yard not been mowed in a long time. Pond was not safe and messy.Rooms ok. Host very nice. ##### Patricia Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ---
