Rio Sierra Riverhouse - Three Rivers, California

Pieter Bouwmans

We stayed at the Riverhouse for three days as part of our Seqouia trip. What a unique location this is, directly at the Kaweah river with beautiful views. The master suite was very nice, plenty of space and good facilities. The garden was maintained every day and service was provided immediately when needed. We enjoyed swimming in the river, having our breakfast in the morning sun and meeting the other guests at the water side.

Mars, thank you so much for this unique experience.

You won’t find a better place to stay and enjoy Sequoia! Such beautiful riverfront/beach front rooms you’ll want to spend all day enjoying this place. We chose studio 2. Peaceful and scenic. Close to restaurants and a short drive to the park. You’ll love it!

We spent three days at the Bird Watch cottage and were delighted by all the wildlife that visited the yard. It is wonderful to have river access nearby and to be so close to Sequoia National Park. Mars, the host, is very friendly and has thought of every little detail like big fluffy bath towels, and extra blankets in the closet for the bed… to make your stay feel like you’re right at home.

Time and Nature have sculpted this magical spot along the Kaweah River. Proprietor, Mars, and her staff have tended to every comfort for an unforgettable stay near the gateway to Sequoia National Park.

We recently returned here for a second stay and certainly will not wait another ten years between visits!

Our mother/daughter getaway was the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Of our three days, we spent two never leaving Rio-Sierra Riverhouse (except for an exceptional dinner at The Gateway and delicious ice cream treats at Reimers). Those days of luxuriating in and next to the river were as healing and rejuvenating as communing with the big trees in Sequoia the other day.

We can't recommend this place enough!!

Note: Our first visit, years ago, was in April when the river was too strong for swimming or wading beyond dipping toes. This second visit, mid-August, afforded us swimming and floating, always staying conscious of the current, of course!

This place was ADORABLE! Great location, superb communication, quaint, clean and well stocked. Our room was right outside the river and we slept to the water sounds every night. We could not have been happier. Will definitely stay here again.

We just spent 3 nights at Rio. Most beautiful place! The interiors and the landscaping are so beautiful! The spot on the river is the best I’ve ever seen. So easy to check in. Clean and comfortable. Close to town. So great!!!

We had a lovely stay at the Rio Sierra Riverhouse for a last minute trip up to Sequoia National Park. The property is a short drive to the national park entrance (after which there is a long and twisty drive up the hill to get to the big trees!). As well as enjoying seeing the national park, we really enjoyed our time spent at the property which has great views and some lovely outdoor seating areas that overlook the river. Our room was very comfortable, and they provided a bed for our 7 month old baby which was very kind of them. We very much hope to come back one day!

Our room was spotless and comfortable. Surrounded by a stunning view of the mountains and a sweet, beachy river spot to swim in. Consistent and thorough communication throughout our stay. Keurig with coffee pods made the mornings brighter, too.
