About this property

A Very Sweet Retreat: The S Fork River is flowing. You can see, hear & touch it!

  • You will enjoy yourselves in this spacious 2 story home with mountain views in the friendly neighborhood of Cherokee Oaks. We are only one mile from Lake Kaweah and you will find it is a lovely drive thru our town and along the Kaweah River to the Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Park entrance. Included is the South Fork River that flows behind the house. The rivers and streams flow because of all the rain and snow melt we have each winter in the Mountains that house the giant Sequoias. Don’t miss out.
    This home away from home has a spacious fully equipped kitchen and all new appliances including custom kitchen cabinets and a beautiful granite topped island for those who really enjoy cooking. The back patio houses a BBQ for enthusiasts as an option to the stove. Table too.
    There is a built-in entertainment center beneath a gorgeous wood and wrought iron staircase which takes you to the balcony area where you can sit and relax and look over the railing to the living room below. There are two spacious master suites, one upstairs and one down. A laundry room is also available.
    The upstairs master bedroom opens to an expansive deck that is great place to sit back and gaze out over views of the surrounding mountains. Seasonally you can enjoy the sound of the South Fork River and the stars are out in masses on a clear dark night. The large downstairs second bedroom with patio access is also very nice and comfortable. The third bedroom is off the master bedroom, smaller but suitable for children or a couple, we have two air mattress for extra guest upon request, three bathrooms, everyone has plenty of room to get ready for a day or evening of activities.
    When the rain has arrived in the fall and the South Fork River is flowing we see/hear the river's mighty flow. The sound of the river will delight you while enjoying time on either of the patios. Think Rain!
    Make this your Sweet Retreat and experience the open spaces this luxurious home away from home offers. Book now!!

Very welcoming host. Great communication. Lovely home with all the amenities needed. Very organized. The two and a half restrooms came in handy for our party of 5. Super quiet and peaceful area with nice and quiet neighbors. Great for getting a good night sleep. The kitchen space is very pleasing for cooking up a nice meal and having a nice conversation.

The house was wonderful and the riverside view was beautiful. The only complaint was a broken refrigerator but the host was quick to respond with coolers to help us through our stay. We understand that sometimes unfortunate events happen and no one is at fault. The hosts were very responsive to our needs during our stay.

The property was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We expected a bit more amenities for the price. For example, they did have coffee available but no sugar or sweeteners. They did have shampoo and hand soap available, but no bath soap. The backyard was impressive, but they could have cleaned off the leaves off chairs. While the property is very nice, it is a bit dated. Overall it was nice, but based on other reviews I read, it seems that the owners are not on top of the property as they once were.

The pictures make you think this place is the best VRBO you'll ever comes across. It will be.

Esther and Linda were super prompt anytime we had a question. There's a river right outside the home. Yes, a river. The inside of the home is amazing. They have plenty of beds and the entire home is completely modern. The bathrooms have decked out showers and the living room is super spacious for hanging out. In the morning, we made coffee and just sat outside taking in the river. Sequoia is really close by. If I ever come to Sequoia again with a group, this is where I'm staying.

Gorgeous home & beautiful area made wonderful fall family getaway!

This home is stunning! It is also perfectly clean, very comfortable, and was better stocked than any other rental we’ve ever stayed at. The bathrooms have plenty of toiletries, there are games and a karaoke machine and the open chef’s kitchen has everything you could ever need! We loved the sounds of the river and enjoyed our morning coffee outside each morning. The location to the park is great. We definitely plan on returning!
