SEQUOIA RIVER CABIN

My husband and I rented this cabin for a long weekend over NYE and enjoyed our stay, for the most part. This was our first NYE since our wedding and our plan was to find a cute little place somewhere close to snowshoeing with a hot tub to enjoy after. Biggest disappointment was that the house does not have a large enough hot water heater to fill the adorably gorgeous, non-chlorine tub. This was the main reason we rented the place and it was quite a bummer. We talked to Sharon (owner), and followed her various suggestions, and even tried boiling water to get the tub hot but on a cold afternoon or night there was not chance, water was chilly, not even warm. They did compensate us for the inconvenience and I believe they planned to fix this. If you are renting and care about the tub I'd just recommend that you confirm with them that they've taken care of it.

other Cons: one side is the river, but the other/front of the house is right on the highway--not too busy, but still involved a regular stream of cars flying by very fast, was nervous about the dog and would be nervous with small children; the pots and pans were really old & non-stick coating was peeling off in the food; the place was a bit infected with ants; bathroom had a plug-in heater--was cold most of the time; walls or door enclosing the bed, so if you are planning to use the futon you might like to know that this is technically a large studio, not a one bedroom, so no privacy between the bed and futon; the internet connection is borrowed from the cafe next door and therefore fairly weak.

Pros: unique, cute little cabin, right on the river; allowed us to bring out little dog and has a nice big yard right on the river to play in; well stocked; Sharon (the owner) was helpful and responsive (including when we locked the key in the house b/c it is on a ridiculous giant piece of wood, which was hard to carry around); about an hour from snowshoeing, might be nice to be closer but not too far from the park entrance and I know there are hotels closer but not sure about rentals.

Three Rivers is really just a few places along the highway. There are some fairly descent places to eat, a friendly grocery store with some natural foods. Kind of a funky little stop along the road.

Overall, if the tub is working, I would certainly recommend to a friend (and actually already have done so) , might even return myself, though we would probably be more inclined to explore other options.

We had a wonderfull stay at the Riverside Cabin.
We were so amazed when Dan opened the door and we entered this fantastic place!!
Everything you need was there, the kitchen and bathroom were perfect and ofcourse the best place was outside!!!!!

We stayed 5 nights and really enjoyed our time spent at this cute cabin with all the amenities needed. Backed up to the river, had a nice private patio deck, large yard and great jacuzzi tub on the back deck to enjoy. Convenient to the entrance to the National Park.... we did not know about the construction going on after the entrance....didn't keep us from going the mountain everyday. Just had to leave earlier than expected and plan accordingly. Very nice owners and great communication with us....showed us the cabin and we had all the privacy we needed.
