Photos and Description of the Three Rivers vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 15)

The RIVER VILLA is a three bedroom two bathroom A-Frame house with a huge upstairs loft on 14.5 acres straddling both sides of the main fork of the Kaweah River. The RIVER VILLA is riverfront and has incredible Kaweah River whitewater views as well as stunning mountain views of the High Sierra including Moro Rock, Alta Peak and Eagle's Nest. The RIVER VILLA is located approximately one mile from from the main entrance to Sequoia National Park. The RIVER VILLA is also located less than 1/4 mile from Mineral King Road which leads into the Mineral King entrance to Sequoia National Park (10 miles).

The RIVER VILLA comfortably sleeps 15 people and has numerous amenities including a fully stocked kitchen, a dining room and a living room with 32 inch HD LCD TV with Dish Network, Sirius Music channels and wireless high speed internet. Outside are a covered patio, two picnic tables for dining riverside, various chairs for relaxing, horseshoes and a ping pong table. The RIVER VILLA overlooks an island for much of the year (depending on the water level) and the Kaweah River whitewater rapid known as Bumper. You can swim, fish, hike and explore along our vast stretch of the Kaweah River. Due to its seclusion and location, the stargazing at night is nothing short of spectacular.

As of 2012, the RIVER VILLA has a new Maytag Bravos washer and dryer set, a new Kenmore ultra quiet dishwasher, high speed wifi and telephone with free local and long distance calling within the United States. Each bedroom has a queen bed, overhead ceiling fan and large exterior window (slider with screen). The loft has numerous twin beds and one full (double) bed with three overhead fans.

The RIVER VILLA was built as an A-Frame vacation home in 1971 and has never been occupied as other than a vacation home.

The RIVER VILLA is an A Frame with a block wall exterior and much woodwork in the living room and an exterior covered patio. The RIVER VILLA is a bit Retro but has new carpeting in the downstairs bedrooms, hallway, living and dining room areas. The bathrooms and kitchen also have new tile and laminate wood flooring. The RIVER VILLA is not luxurious but is meant to be a relaxing and comfortable home on the river.

The RIVER VILLA is accessed via a private paved and gated drive off of Sierra Drive and the home sits away from the road and is private and secluded with no highway or road noise (just the sound of the Kaweah River).

About Dennis Villavicencio

My family originally moved to Three Rivers in 1972. I left to go to school and work in San Diego and returned in 2005 with my soon-to-be-wife Stacie. We now have 2 kids (Anna and Maverick) growing up in Three Rivers and the same Sierra Nevada mountains I came to know and love as a kid.

I own and manage two hotel properties in Three Rivers, practice law part time, serve as a volunteer Tulare County firefighter/EMT and run trail races and triathlons when not spending time with family or working.

We were fortunate to be able to purchase the River Villa - it is a comfortable house with a fantastic 14 acres right on the bend of the Kaweah River. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Dennis Villavicencio purchased this house in 2011
Why Dennis Villavicencio chose Three Rivers

Location! Location! Location! Few river properties are riverfront with large tracts of land and views of the surrounding peaks. This property has it all and is also only one mile from the Sequoia Park entrance. It also sits away from the highway on a private, gated driveway so is peaceful, quiet and safe.

River Villa

The property was everything the listing claims. It is a beautiful setting and very private as well. Overall the villa is quite roomy with a vaulted living room and a huge expanse of glass. It was clean, well cared for, and nicely outfitted. The location is great also, very close to the Sequoia park main entrance. It is also close to Mineral King Rd which leads to some great hiking in a more remote part of the park. The management and owner are only a half mile away, and they went out of their way to be helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return or recommend it to others. The town of Three Rivers is small but has most needed amenities. The Gateway Restaurant is a good choice.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind words and detailed comments. You guys really made the most of your time here and got to see a lot of beautiful country during your eight days of hiking. We appreciate you allowing us to be a part of your vacation experience in Sequoia National Park.

Excellent location, great vacation!

I recently stayed here for a full week with a few friends. We had a very relaxing time. The river was a little low but there was still enough water for swimming and fishing. There were deer on the property nearly every evening as well as hundreds of Quail. The mountains surrounding the house were great. Between grilling, relaxing on the covered back porch, exploring the river and swimming I was quite content all week. There was a steady breeze all day long which was perfect for the hot days in late July. The house is conveniently close to a few stores for food runs. If I can I would definitely stay here again. I give this house 4.5 stars out of 5!

Unbelievable!

We totally lucked out when we found this place! Avid VRBO renters, we have stayed in numerous cabins, condos, houses. None are as spectacular as this one. The setting of this humble (in such a perfect way) cabin is truly unbelievable. The views from the enormous windows in the living room are breathtaking and serene. The very large, quiet and private property is located directly on the river and there is hiking, swimming, fishing, rock skipping and exploring right outside your door. If you are looking for a very fancy, renovated rental, this is not for you. This vacation house is well appointed, clean, spacious, etc--but it's also retro in the decor and the furniture is well kept, comfortable and dated. It fit our needs perfectly. We came with three young kids and the in-laws and its proved to be a perfect place for a comfortable reunion in a spectacular setting. And, as the listing states, this rental easily sleeps 15 people (!). The three first floor bedrooms have double beds each and the enormous loft has 8 beds and sleeps 10 up there --seriously. I imagine it would be a great place for a couple of families to rent together. We are already making plans to come back in the summer to swim in the swimming hole.
