Not great for little kids
This unit is located behind an apartment complex/stores. When we arrived the door code did not work. They stressed that we likely wouldn’t have cell signal and luckily I had enough to call them to get a new door code otherwise we’d have to turn around and find cell signal. Really poor first impression. The house is quirky and cute, but not good for little kids. I contacted the host prior to ensure that there was pool/door alarms and she said she would make sure there was some. There wasn’t. I spent the entire trip sleeping with one eye open worried about my three year old. It said there is river access but lots of signs warning not to go on the neighbors property with a very confusing map so we never found the river. The pool and hot tub were very dirty. The house itself looked like it’s been abandoned for several months before we arrived, cobwebs everywhere, drip stains in the tubs and showers. There is missing outlet covers and light switch covers in numerous spots. There is a hole in the wall covered by a tapestry. The one shower had pressure so hard it was excruciating and the other didn’t have enough. Mostly I’d let that stuff slide but for the amount we paid it definitely did not live up to my expectations. It was not restful after hiking sequoia because I was SO worried about my toddler. I can’t recommend this property in its current state.

Fabulous retreat
Our stay at this Three Rivers home was so peaceful and pleasant and just what we hoped for. The home was clean, well stocked and just as advertised. For entertainment we drove up to the a sequoia National forest and hiked on three different days. Also stopped in for lunch at Sierra Subs - the best! And the Pizza Factory for dinner - also amazing! We would stay here again.

California retreat
This was a great home! Everything was clean and exactly as depicted in the pictures. The owner was responsive to questions and helpful. The beds were very comfortable with nice bedding. The neighborhood was excellent! Made for a perfect getaway!!! The outside pool was beautiful. It would have been nice to turn off the waterfall to the pool as our group was older and some were hard of hearing and this made sitting by the pool difficult. There was a great book with suggestions inside on places to eat and hikes. I would definitely come back to this home! Thank you!!

Perfect location
Great location. Down the street from the market and very close to everything Three Rivers has to offer. Close to the park, if you’re interested in checking out Sequoia. 2nd stay at this property and it has everything you’ll ever need in a vacation rental. Highly recommend and we’ll be back again.

Had a nice stay
This property is quirky and really interesting. We enjoyed seeing the wide variety of art incorporated. The location is excellent-near many restaurants, river & Sequoia NP. We had a great time. That being said, there were several issues. The dryer and ice maker did not work, but the host was very responsive. They replaced the dryer next day while we were out and offered to reimburse for ice (we didn’t really want to bother with that), so stuck with warm drinks for the duration. The pool, spa & patio were great features and a highlight of our stay. We enjoyed the pool floats that were included. Some downsides: ~listing pointed out the wall above spa for projecting movies, but a projector wasn’t included. That should have been more clear, in my opinion ~ice maker didn’t work; middle burner of grill didn’t work ~electric wiring in the property is odd. Multiple switches we couldn’t find or couldn’t figure out what they were for ~husband didn’t like that it’s a condo - got the impression from the listing that it was a stand alone home ~there is an insect problem-ants in the utility room sink & multiple dead bugs around the home, including a roach ~some features seem to be under construction, and others definitely need maintenance ~cleanliness wasn’t the best The responsiveness of host was a definite plus side, and brought our rating up to 4 stars - we were so grateful for the prompt replacement of the dryer.

Mini resort is perfect location for Sequoia visit!
The condo was perfect! It was clean, spacious and was the perfect place to re-energize after our visit to Sequoia. The pool and hot tub were great! Unfortunately Sequoia's Three Rivers entrance was closed while we were here but it is very conveniently located for that entrance. Highly recommend staying here and we would definitely stay here again!!

Great getaway close to sequoia national park
We had such a fun time at this rental - great layout for 3 couples, well equipped kitchen, awesome pool and hot tub, very private despite its proximity to town. It’s also very close to the entrance to sequoia national park although road closures limited our ability to venture far, still some good trails within reach. The property is a bit older and there are some minor things that could use upgrading but overall a fantastic stay, highly recommend it.

Amazing Housing on the River
We were very fortunate to stay at this lovely house at Three Rivers. House was clean, big rooms, and great decorations. Kitchen had everything we needed. Pool and hot tub worked great. Amazing views of the river. Quaint little area with a cute market 100 yards away with all types of groceries and drinks. Definitely would stay again and recommend.

Beautiful getaway
This home is truly lovely, comfortable and so much fun. The back yard is a retreat all by itself! It’s close to a market & sone small shops. My favorite part is that there’s just a short walk to a glorious stream. The home is quiet and beautiful. There’s not any phone service, unless you have att which makes reaching out a little tricky, but there’s great Wi-Fi that can be used. We had a wonderful time.

Fantastic Villa Hideaway
My family was stunned that I found such a great place...I'm known for not being a trip planner, but Sequoia was my destination so I had to do put in the work. This was always my first choice among the 5 or 6 links I sent out to the family, some of them driving up from Arizona and us from the Bay. The family finally decided on another place, but their decision came too late and the other property was booked from under us....boo hoo. /s When everybody walked into this place, their jaws hit the floor. I was getting congratulated for finding an amazing place, a new first. The pool area was a huge success and we spent 95% of our awake time there. In fact the pool and spa won out on our second full day and we decided to skip the park and stay on the property and play in the water. The kitchen and common area is lots of fun with a open layout good for conversation while meal prep. Beds nice and soft. But it's all about the villa style pool area...private, fun, relaxing, and just a super high enjoyment level for my family. Our only mishap was getting cable TV to work, but it wasn't a impact on our stay. Maybe a little steps card/display with steps to get it running would have help. The nice gentlemen who came to correct the problem had it working in no time. I just couldn't figure the right combo on my own. oh there are a couple of half dollar sized frogs that like to talk smack to each other all night by the pool. The secret to get through their loudness is to get a lot of time playing in the pool and you should be tired enough to drift off to sleep. 10/10 would stay again.

The property exceeded my expectations in every way. It is so beautiful, inside and out. We were here for a family wedding and the location was perfect. It was so close to the entrance to Sequoia National Park that we even managed to get a short trip through the park between wedding activities. It was well appointed and comfortable, with all of the kitchen utensils we could want. There were even beach towels for the pool. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful Outdoor Area
We loved the outdoor area for this home. After hiking in the National Parks, it was so relaxing to soak in the hot tub and cook steaks on the grill. A covey of mountain quail paraded right past the fence! A light went out, and Pam had it fixed before we could return that day. If you enjoy the outdoors in a beautiful setting, this the place to stay.

Awesome place for a weekend getaway
The house was awesome! It was clean, well equipped and had a lot of room to stretch out. The pool gave us a welcome respite from the heat and was very well used. The house is very close to a grocery nd a couple of restaurants which is pretty convenient. Best of all, Sequoia National Park is only ten minutes away. All the bedrooms have their own en suite baths which meant no waiting! The owners kEpt in touch and gave clear instructions on check in/out procedures, what to expect and where to go (and no go). I can go on and on but you have to book this place and experience it yourself.

Hidden Gem
My 3 children and I had the most amazing time at the Par 3 in Three Rivers. The location is perfect; within walking distance to the market and several restaurants. A very short but scenic drive to Sequoia National Park, Lake Kaweah, and lots of cute shops. The property felt like home & had everything we needed and then some. The pool and spa were amazing after hiking and during the heat of the day. Most appreciated were the property owner's communication & flexibility! Definitely recommend this property for anyone considering.

Amazing - Do Not Miss an opportunity to stay here
I can't say enough about this villa. It's incredibly well designed, appointed and stocked with what you need for a very relaxing time away. Everything looks good and works easily. We have stayed in a number of bnb's and vacation homes - this one has the best kitchen I've seen. You will not find anything missing in preparing a family feast. Additionally, without being specifically childproofed, it was very safe for our 1 year old as she learned to walk during our stay, particularly in the living room space. Our 4 year old loved being in the hot tub, playing around between all the rooms, biking outside in the cul-de-sac and has made us promise to go back. You can really feel the home has been loved and cared for by the owners, and that makes the stay extra special. Highly recommended.

Great family stay
This home was the perfect meeting space for us (SF) and our kids (LA) to meet up. Just about four hours from both directions. 10-15 minutes from the Sequoia Natl. Park entrance, we enjoyed exploring that park and Kings Canyon together. Spectacular scenery! The home worked perfectly for the five of us. Made good use of the well-stocked kitchen and outdoor areas, cooking, baking, grilling and basically just enjoying being together. The pool was a bit chilly but not enough to keep the most hardy of us from enjoying it and we all enjoyed the hot tub. The owner was extremely responsive to all of our questions. Highly recommend!

Great time, amazing property.
My family and I had a great time staying at this home. We had big plans to be in the river, go to the parks, and go hiking. Somewhere along the line everything changed and we spent 90% of the time in the pool! Many times throughout the week the question "why did we ever stay in a resort?" came up. This was just so much more comfortable and private. Thank you Pam and Greg for your hospitality. We are already planning our next trip.

Perfect summer vacation home
Our experience with this vacation home was beyond great. The property looks even better in reality than on the pictures. Everything was super clean, the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, and there were plenty of pool towels, which was great! We were 4 adults and 4 kids (one 2-year old and three 6-year olds) and there was plenty of room for all of us. The pool was perfect for the kids - they spent most of the day in it as it was so hot. We liked that the property is very secluded so we didn’t encounter any other people, which was ideal in COVID times... Really close to the park entrance which is also very convenient if you want to go out for a hike. Pam responded right away when we had questions, so we felt very well taken care off 😀 I would go there any time again. Thanks Pam! This was a summer highlight for us and our kids!

I’ve spent nearly 40 summers in 3R. I’ve rented everything from motels to cabins to houses on hills. By far, this is THE BEST rental I’ve had the pleasure of staying in. The entire family (ages 20-51) rated this the best overall. The house itself is well laid out, giving everyone enough privacy. We spend most of our time in the kitchen and outdoors and both of these areas didn’t disappoint. Kitchen is perfectly stocked. The outside patio is spacious and you really do feel like you’re in a resort. My favorite, however, is the river being just a short pathway away. We spent our mornings having coffee on the water’s edge and our afternoons swimming with the fish, turtles and frogs. This summer, the water is lower than it has been in several years, but it was still swimmable. Pam was a gracious host and checked in regularly. Looking forward to reserving next summer and many more after.
