We stayed at this cabin in the month of December. We had 14 people in our group and managed everybody to sleep on a bed. Very nice cabin and a view a river that flows by below the hill. The cabin is just a couple miles to the entrance of the Sequoia National Park. The cabin was cleaned and also all the rooms upon arrival and very spacious also. The host of the cabin responded rapidly when we had problems to fix to make everybody comfortable. I would recommend to my friends and family to stay at this cabin again.

June 2025 stay: You can’t swim/get in the water at this property. There’s no good or safe entry/exit location to the water. Under couches, furniture, and base boards could use a good sweep and wipe down. Owner/management was easy to work with, and accommodating. I can’t remember if I read this in the posting but none of the bathrooms are attached to bedrooms. The outdoor area was okay. It was just too hot for us to enjoy. Entry to Sequoia National Park was not far from the house. There’s a small local grocery store, but if you need something specific, I recommend stopping at the largest town nearby to get what you need. That’s like 35-40 mins away. Everyone in the little town was friendly!

magical place and I’ve never been until nowHaving the river right in the back yard was absolutely perfect. The home feels like you are in your own little world. Huge backyard! and when you want to leave it you can walk down the street to a Little bar Or take a drive into the park. Also need to find out what mattress’s the host used because it was the best sleep! Spending my 40th bday here was the best way to start a new chapter

This was the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in! It’s 5 miles from Sequoia National Park entrance. There is an amazing ice cream and candy shop two houses over and River bar and grill was next door to the candy shop. We were a family of 12, we all fit comfortably with plenty of seating for everyone! We were right on the river we spent a lot of time swimming in the river! This place had a very nice bon fire area with lots of seating, a screened in deck for those chess tournaments and a casita that consisted of a queen bed and bunk beds it was just 45 bucks for the cleaning fee , so worth it!! The house has gorgeous views with deer and baby coyote daily across the river. The place was very clean and stocked with small things you may need while staying there. We definitely will be back to this place again!!! Thanks for all the wonderful memories

Nice Property but...

The property is nice and a good location. Unfortunately the entire outdoor patio area on the main level was under construction. We called VRBO and explained that we could not allow the kids or adults to go out on that level due to the rebar and wood stakes in place. The house was great, but the unsafe condition was not disclosed at the time of booking and on a Spring Break weekend, finding a new place for all of us was not an option. Very disappointing that the owner and VRBO both didn't seem concerned.

Beautiful House with River Access

Perfect house for the family to get together. Every bedroom has a view of the river. Large hosting area with plenty of seating. The option for the extra studio was perfect for the teens to have their own space but be right there. The river was beautiful to look at and water felt amazing but it definitely was stronger than excepted so be careful with younger ones.

House overall and housekeeping upgrade needed

The house is in a beautiful location with the river behind it very great for entertaining teenagers and kids. The house, however, was filthy. The entire house needs an overhaul: the walls need painting, the floors need a good clean up, bathrooms do too, as well as the stove, the kitchen cabinets. The linens and towels need an upgrade. They should hire an exterminador to control the spiders and huge bugs that live inside the house and scare the heck out of guests. The outdoor spaces were also dirty. We couldn’t hang outside either. An immediate recommendation for the cleaning crew is to leave the ACs on prior to guests’ arrival. It took us at least 10 hours to get to a comfortable temperature. It was a horrible experience with all guests feeling desperate with the filth and heat. Unfortunately, we will not come back to this house despite the beautiful river and closeness to the park. 😞 We were extremely disappointed 😔!

What a location

My wife did all the research and booked this place because it was large enough for our group. I am sure glad she did. This place has the best view/location. Not only are you on the river but you are walking distance to a fancy chocolate and ice cream shop. The place was clean, had plenty of extra blankets and pillows, multiple TVs, WiFi, and some amazing floor to ceiling windows that let you watch the river flow from indoors. There was also plenty of outdoor seating, a picnic area, a bbq and lots of parking in the front. We may come back again in the summer to experience it in the warmer weather and to see more of Sequoia.

Nice property, except for....

This is a fine property that needs some TLC and/or preventative maintenance to bring up to speed. The a/c was inadequate to cool the house and we did have someone come out to clean the condensers, but the system needed to be re-charged or upgraded to be effective. Had there had been curtains in the living room this could have been mitigated. This could or should be an item that is taken care of before the next guests arrive. The septic system had backed up on the last day we were here and fortunately a crew was in the neighborhood to clean the tank. Because of the use this home receives, this service should be done more than once every three months. If the above named items are corrected I would feel this would be a 4-5 star review.
