Just Ok

Well the pictures made it look different than it was. The river was quite a little walk away from the house. The property manager was very nice but I have to say that the house was kinda run down. Couches very old and a little stale smell in the house. We had to leave because my husband was having an allergic reaction to something. Didn’t really get to give it a chance but I really thought it was going to be more than it was. Sorry

Perfect stay minutes from the park!

My family absolutely loved our stay at the ranch!! Julia was so accommodating and the perfect host, we had the pleasure to met her and learn about her property, family and the area. Julia steered us in the right direction for dinner just down the road. We had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. Our kids loved the horse on property and walking down to the river to wade in the water after a long day in the park. Everything about our stay was positive! We would stay here again and recommend to our family and friends!

A thin slice of heaven

We had an amazing stay at Kaweah River Horse Ranch. The accommodation was clean and cool, which was welcome with the heatwave outside. The house has everything you need, a well-equipped kitchen, spacious bathroom and comfortable beds. A selection of board games entertained us in the evenings, and the hot tub was a welcome soak after a day on the trails. The river is the cherry on top! Beautiful water to wash off the stress of the day! We can’t wait to come back for a longer stay to explore more of what sequoia has to offer.

Great escape!

After camping in the park for a couple days, we ended our trip with a few nights at the ranch. The A/C was appreciated, the river was beautiful and cool, and we loved giving the horses their treats. Thanks Juli for the great advice on things to do and places to eat. You were so helpful!

Not all bad-Refund was quick

We arrived and we knew it was going to be hot but the description said it was air conditioned and it had a pool. No pool and both window unit air conditioners were not working properly. With 110 outside and 93 inside we knew we couldn't stay here. The river was nice but you had to walk by a green mosquito infested pond to get there. Yes there is a horse on property along with a lot of droppings! I would not recommend staying here.

Wonderful quiet getaway

First of all, Julia, the owner is just an incredibly wonderful person. She went above and beyond in making sure our stay was comfortable, relaxing, and that all of our needs were met throughout our stay. The property was absolutely amazing, we got to fully experience day to day ranch life along with all the comfortable amenities of a resort. After a very peaceful night's sleep, we were able to wake up every morning to be greeted by Bobby, the resident horse, as we made our way down to reflect by the river with our morning coffee. After making the short drive to spend the day at Sequioa NP hiking, we were able to return back and soak our sore muscles in the soothing jacuzzi before turning in for the night. Thank you so much Julia, for being such an amazing person and sharing all of your life experiences as well as your beautiful property with us. We truly look forward to coming back again in the future.

Multi home

The ranch was cute, and the owners friendly. I might have misread the VRBO page, but it wasn’t clear to me that we would be sharing the space. I assumed it was meant for larger groups, but because we were smaller we’d be getting our own rooms to stay in (or at least our own beds). I found the page confusing, so I wasn’t caught by complete surprise when it wasn’t what I expected. We ended up in one half of the building and had another group staying in the small building the next night. It wasn’t a problem, and we all enjoyed our time.

Slice of paradise!

We couldn’t have loved our stay here anymore! It truly is a slice of paradise and Juli is an amazing hostess. I am really glad we chose this house instead of a hotel. It was the perfect amount of space to spread out for my husband and I and our two teens during our recent trip to Sequoia. The location is only 12 minutes or so from the park entrance! We even went on a whitewater rafting trip and ended up in Juli’s backyard. Three Rivers is a small town with lovely people. Juli was there for our checkin and provided us with a nice basket of treats for us and the resident horse :) She gave suggestions on where to shop and things to do. We loved our daily visits with Robbie and our nightly soaks in the hot tub as well as our backyard fire pit. Hot tub towels and firewood were both provided which was super nice. The house was equipped very well and the beds were super comfy. My only suggestion would be to add a hair dryer to the bathroom. I would recommend this place 100%. Thanks Juli for the great stay!

Excellent Stay

I must say - this was probably one of the nicest BNBs I've stayed at. They had everything ready to go; all the amenities that you'd have at a resort to having snacks available to feed the horse on the property. The little things like that made it that much more family oriented. My 10 year old daughter was with us, so she significantly enjoyed that. We had our own private access to the river which was the greatest part of the stay. The water was cool getting in, then nice and perfect warm when getting used to it. Just plain awesome. We were able to build a fire for smores (the wood was already there and supplied), we had a BBQ & they even supplied the coals! My family and I live in Visalia, and just wanted to take a short trip to Three Rivers. I would stay here every time if given the opportunity. Communication with the owners was top notch! Thank you for everything, and I hope we can stay again.
