The DaVidgil House is located approximately 5 miles from Lake Kaweah, 10 miles from the Entrance to Sequoia National Park (which is home to the world's largest living things - Giant Sequoia Redwood Trees), 255 miles north of Los Angels, 265 miles south of San Francisco, and 225 miles east of the Pacific coast. In other words, centrally located for your vacation needs.

About Lona

This house was built by an artist, designer, woodworker, the daughter of a building contractor; and an environmental scientist, artisan builder, and the son of a water/civil engineer. With eyes for detail, an artistic bent, and the love of nature, DaVidgil House is well appointed, luxurious, and unlike anything else.

Lona purchased this house in 1983
Why Lona chose Three Rivers

This property has a perfect location nestled in the Canyon with the South Fork River running right through it. The wild life is abundant and the natural surroundings majestic and gorgeous.

What makes this house unique

The benefit of staying at the DaVidgil House is not only the luxurious ambiance, but how centrally located it is, in as far as it is conveniently close to town, Sequoia National Park, Lake Kaweah, and numerous other sites while remaining remote and peaceful in its location.

The perfect oasis away from the huzzle and buzzle!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 10, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
There are much positive things to say about The DaVidgil House. Where to begin? My boyfriend and I were in need of a getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. My boyfriend found The Da Vidgil House listed on VRBO. After looking through the pictures, he knew it was the perfect oasis away from the huzzle & buzzle. He rented it for 4 nights (Sunday – Wednesday). It was our first trip to Three Rivers, CA and we absolutely enjoyed our stay.

When we arrived, Lona and Greg were there to welcome us. That was a nice welcoming feeling. Oh not to forget there were also Latte the dog and Kaylee the cat to greet us as well. Sorry, if I’ve misspelled the cat’s name. Oh, Kaylee likes to be petted.

The inside of the studio exceeded my boyfriend’s expectations. The photos didn't fully capture the quaintness of the place. The bed was comfortable. We were able to get a full 8 hour sleep and on some days more.

There’s a kitchen in which we cooked dinner every night. There’s also a wood stove for additional warmth. Lona had shown us how to use it. We used it everyday and it kept the place feeling nice and toasty. According to Lona, it’s best to use oak wood.

The deck next to the lake was my boyfriend’s favorite spot. The lake provided a sense of tranquility, an inviting feeling. He sat on one of the chairs and read a book.

Lona told us the story of The DaVidgil House. It’s a fascinating one. Anyone who is interested should ask Lona.

What to do there? Drive up to the Sequoia National Park. A 7-day pass costs $20. Or, it’s $30 for an annual pass to both Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

What else to do? Stop by at one of the fruit stands to purchase a bag or box of oranges.

Where to obtain hiking trail information and map? Three Rivers Museum. Where to eat? Anne Lang's Emporium. Where to buy ingredients if cooking dinner? Village Market.

We are happy to have known Lona and Greg. They are very warm people. Fantastic host. Went out of their way to ensure that everything was available to us.

The DaVidgil House is the perfect place for a peaceful vacation getaway. We left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. If seeking tranquility, serenity, and relation, then we highly recommend The DaVidgil House.

Beautiful and Relaxing Place

My husband and I just returned from spending three wonderful nights at the DaVidgil House. The location is great for exploring Sequoia National Park during the day and then returning to a peaceful and relaxing environment where you can enjoy the beauty of 3 Rivers surrounding you. The accommodations are well cared for and they have everything you could possible need for a great weekend get-away...very romantic!
We travel a lot and except the best...we were NOT disappointed and would recommend this wonderful home!

What a gorgeous secret find!

My boyfriend and I stayed for the weekend in November. You are ten minutes away from the beautiful Sequoia Park and trees. We got to hike all day then come back to a tranquil, fairytale setting. We woke up with a beautiful view of the mountains.

What a treasure! Lona was gracious, but we had all the privacy we needed. We used the fireplace every night and the ambiance was romantic and cozy. Would highly recommend the DaVidgil House to all. And if you get the chance, ask Lona how the house was lovingly put together by her father and Lona.

Amazing place, amazing owners, amazing scenery

My family booked a last minute trip with Lona to stay and visit the Sequoias over the Christmas/New Years season and we couldn't be more pleased. The studio was an amazing find and such an architectural wonder. The place is well put together as a cozy studio with wonderful artwork and architecture everywhere. Even in the middle of winter we stayed warm and cozy with a heater and wood burning furnace.

The house is also situated on a wonderful large lot right along a fork of the Kaweah river. The water is directly below the nice deck that faces south for wonderful coffee or dinner relaxation.

As for the Sequoias, they are about a 40 minutes drive (over an hour with chains in the winter) but it's an easy drive. We actually preferred staying in Three Rivers outside the heavy snow with an easy and beautiful drive up the mountain at any time. Plus, the gate to the sequoias is about a ten minute drive away and from there, you have tons of hiking and activities all over the place.

So, in conclusion, we'd stay again in a heartbeat and recommend this place to anyone. It's a nice place for 2-4 people and as the title says, the studio, the owners and the Sequoias can't be beat.

One-Of-A-Kind

5 of 5
Submitted: November 11, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
My wife and I have had the opportunity to stay at many inns, bed-and-breakfasts, and private rentals in many states and several countries. DaVidgil House is right at the top as a unique, great experience for anyone traveling near Sequoia National Park. From the interesting architecture, to the thoughtfully-appointed accommodations, to the enchanting river-side grounds, this place is one-of-a-kind.

The first floor rental is extremely spacious, well equipped, and terrifically decorated. The owner is delightful and helpful in every way possible. And the beautiful grounds are not only dog friendly, but dog heaven.

But all of those advantages are minor compared to the overall ambiance. Not many people have the creative vision and energy to create such a welcoming environment. As soon as one enters the grounds, one realizes that the owner is an artist who has put a lot of thought into intricate details that make this much more a unique home than a rental. Memories of many places run together. Not so with DaVidgil House.

Go. You will not be disappointed.
