About this property
River Oasis with Plenty of Family Fun
This location is a family-friendly property with almost an acre of riverfront enjoyment!
We have outdoor games such as ladder ball toss and corn hole. There is a large open part of the backyard for general running around…maybe playing a favorite family game or throwing a baseball or football back and forth. Directly behind the house are giant boulders that qualify for “King of the Mountain” status for the young and young at heart!
Best of all is the river just below the outside dining patio. Just walk down a few steps, and you can wade in the whitewater middle fork of the Kaweah River. You can watch rafters and kayakers float past you at certain times of the year.
We have a wide variety of birds, and watching their antics as they dart and fly through the trees along the beach is fun. We always consider it good luck to see the great blue heron fishing from a boulder or flying up or down the river. Deer and even bears walk through occasionally. (We have black bears here, which are usually very timid; it’s a thrill to see them foraging for acorns and lunging up a tree.)
Gravel walkways surround the house and encourage you to enjoy the natural beauty of this spectacular location from every angle. The rock gardens and giant boulders allow you to sit quietly and listen to nature and your thoughts.
This privately owned, single-family home is 800 square feet and sleeps six. It has one full bathroom, two bedrooms—one king and one double—and a full-size convertible sofa in the living room.
It also boasts a washer and dryer in the outside laundry room (if you have used all your beach towels or shorts!).
We have a newly remodeled kitchen with granite countertops stocked with all the necessities, including a dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, blender, and toaster. There are some spices and spice blends to stir your creativity into making meals right in your own vacation home. In addition, there is a gas grill and a covered patio table for dining. There is also a fabulous rocking swing for two or three people to sit and watch the river go by!
The sunny dining nook offers a nest to enjoy your outdoor views. Its cheery coral color scheme will light up your meals and offer a lovely space to sip your beverage if you don’t feel like going outside.
Oak paneling, redwood shelving, and lace curtains give the living room a friendly atmosphere. The flat-screen television is compatible with mobile devices, Netflix, and complimentary WiFi.
We are within walking distance of our famous Candy Store, the River View Restaurant, and the Beef Jerky stand. On the weekends, the River View Restaurant has live music. You can walk over and watch the band or listen to the band from the back patio.

Family of 6, great place for easy access to Sequoia NP and fun games and outdoor space for kids and grown-ups. The ice cream shop next door was a nice bonus.
Great location right next to a cool bar and restaurant, Riverview! Comfortable home, had everything we needed. Lovely outside area. Highly recommended!
A truly unique view and access to the river. My sons (3 and 6 years old) loved running around the property, tossing rocks into the river, and watching white water rafters. Being able to walk to the candy shop was an extra perk!
We had the best time at this river house with my husband and 3 kids. Huge yard to play in and literally on the river. Also in between a bar/grill and candy/ice cream shop which we absolutely loved. House is clean and super functional. Also right near the entrance of Sequoia. Highly recommend.
We loved it here! Sheila was so responsive, and check-in was very easy. The property was just as described and so beautiful. Plenty of space on the deck to relax and room down at the river for 1 or 2 people to put their chairs in the water. We will definitely be back.
Almost everything was perfect and the beds were simply perfect ! My only complaint is there was not an ounce of comfort in the living room . The location was amazing and the view was so amazing !
Had an amazing weekend in Three Rivers. Son got married in the park. Absolutely stunning location for a wedding. Adult sons enjoyed spending time in the river. Close to park and close to great restaurants in Three Rivers. Beautiful patio with views for morning coffee.

Great backyard setup and amenities for private family entertainment. The lack of cellular signal was not any issue with reliable wi-fi network.
Comfortable and cute, right on the river! Being able to just walk out back and sip coffee in the morning while enjoying the river and the birds was awesome. Nicely appointed. Gated property was a nice plus. The only negative is that the restaurant immediately next door has live music for HOURS on Sunday evenings. Definitely recommended.
We were here for a wedding.
We loved the home and property. My favorite was the sound of the river and the ability to go sit on the rocks to sip a drink and enjoy the views.
The house was cute, quaint, had all the necessities and was very welcoming. Property was well kept and clean. Walkable to a few places nearby and all other places were within a 1 minute drive.
The house was great. The backyard has river access and my youngest daughter had a blast playing with the 1 inch long fish in the river. The location was perfect We felt safe and it was only a 12 min drive to the sequoia park entrance. We did not spend a ton of time at the house because we wanted to spend our time at Sequoia and Kings Canyon National forest. The time we did spend at the house was great. The beds were super comfortable and the backyard was huge. Our oldest daughter loved all the lizards there. Great family memories were made there.
I must start by saying when I booked this place I was solely going off location and reviews. The pictures listed did not do justice to this adorable place. It is located on the river, able to walk outside the door and watch the water rush by for hours. The interior is understably mature, but also full of character and beautiful design touches. It is on a sizeable plot of fully fenced land, with an access gate, mature trees and a view to die for. We are an adult family, including a couple from the East Coast. It was truly a trip to remember and we could all agree that this property was one of the best accommodations we have ever stayed in, which was the cherry on top of a perfect trip to the Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks. Book this place, you will not regret it.

We loved the river, running through the back of the property. Grandson loved playing down there. The house was very nice. The furniture in the living room was somewhat sparse, but I understand. The queen bed unfortunately, was so uncomfortable. My daughter couldn't sleep in it. Thank goodness for the sofa and the trundle bed. I loved everything about the house except the cleaning fee which was outrageous. For $180 a day cleaning fee they should have cleaned all the bugs out of the lighting fixtures. The remote control for the gate did not work. So it was a little bit of a hassle. Every time we went in and out. great location near the sequoias we would definitely love to stay here again.
Great place to stay. The whole place was clean inside and out. You have a river in the back yard. It was fun and overall a great experience staying for 2 nights.
Our stay at River Oasis was wonderful. The house was clean and great communication. We enjoyed the river and the location between grill and candy shop. We are already planning to come back. Thank you for a perfect getaway!
