Photos and Description of the Three Rivers vacation house rental
4 bedrooms, 4 baths + private decks & river views (sleeps 7-8 max)

As seen in Sunset magazine, Wall Street Journal and the New York Times!

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright student, Frank Robert, Kaweah Falls is a modern rustic retreat home tucked away at the base of the Sequoia National Park in the cozy Sierra Nevada mountain town of Three Rivers, CA—an easy 3.5 hrs. from LA, 4.5 hrs from SF, and 1+ hr from Fresno Yosemite International airport.

A finalist in Dwell magazine's 2010 'Houses We Love' competition, the home bridges a regulated water flume leading to a private sandy beach and a year-round active waterfall. While sipping wine at the bar you can watch rainbow trout swimming below through a glass-bottomed floor.

This one of-a-kind vacation home makes the ultimate escape from the city, the ideal writer's retreat (finally finish that novel or screenplay) or simply a place to recharge, far away from the hustle and bustle

Plan your escape to Sequoia!: Kaweah Falls is the ultimate base camp for your exploration of the Sequoia National Park.

(from Visit Sequoia website) 'California's Sequoia National Park is an unspoiled treasure of some of the most striking scenery in the world. From its towering giant sequoia trees and soaring mountain peaks to cascading creeks, flowering meadows, and star-studded evening skies, you'll be inspired by this breathtaking national forest vacation destination.

Established in 1890, and recently featured in the Ken Burns PBS documentary 'The National Parks: America's Best Idea', Sequoia National Park is California's first national park and America's second oldest. With more than 1 million annual visitors, Sequoia National Forest is a popular destination for guests from around the world.

At Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks, you’ll find the five largest living giant sequoia trees in the world.'

Come see the largest living tree on Earth! : The General Sherman tree is estimated to be between 2300-2700 years old, and if you've never seen it, a day trip is a must. (Kaweah Falls is located 2 miles from the entrance to Sequoia Park.)

'Often referred to as one of California's best national forest family vacation destinations, Sequoia offers a myriad of year-round visitor attractions and recreational activities. Spring and summer offer sensational hiking, horseback riding, fishing, and cave tours. Winter boasts some of the finest cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snow play to be found in the Sierras. And throughout the year, Sequoia National Forest features ranger naturalist programs, nature walks, visitor centers, and interpretive museum exhibits to please all ages and interests.'

Experience the magic of Kaweah Falls: After you've enjoyed a memorable picnic amongst the towering Sequoias in the Giant Forest, climbed the steps to the soaring peak of Moro Rock (where you can see Russia!), and strolled through Crescent Meadow and likely spotted black bears grazing, then it's time to come down the mountain where your luxury compound awaits: cook out on the grill, enjoy a nice bottle of wine, and roast S'mores around he campfire.

After marveling at all the stars (more than you've likely seen before), retire to your cozy chambers and let the waterfall lull you into a restful sleep. For adventure seekers, white water rafting in Three Rivers is world-class (May-July); or if your idea of adventure involves a hammock and a good book, you'll be right at home. If you plan your visit in late summer, there's no better place to take a dip than Kaweah Falls. And if you're one that likes to get away, but just can't disconnect, not to worry: you can check email and surf the internet from your private river deck.

This trip was a very relaxing vacation. The outdoors is so beautiful! It's like camping and then not having to get in a tent! NICE!! The home is so beautiful and comfy. The best of both worlds.

We are 6 friends that spend a good week together each year to enjoy each others company. Friends are precious. We got in the water (BURR), roasted marshmallows ATE and slept. What more could you ask of life. It's the best!

Thank you so much for having us here. It's amazing!

We were all amazed by the mid-century architecture

Submitted: April 30, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Our first time at Kaweah Falls. We came to celebrate my brother's 66th birthday--which was belated from last year's 65th. Three couples had a great time; 2 couples from LA and one couple from Northern CA. My brother is a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture so this was a way of honoring that interest. We were all amazed by the mid-century architecture and the details that carried through out the home. Thank you for making this wonderful place available to us!

Our third magical visit to beautiful Kaweah Falls

Our third magical visit to beautiful Kaweah Falls, this time with our good friends from Colorado. We so enjoyed sharing this special place with them over Easter. Fires going all day long, S'mores & horseshoes, and of course, the beautiful river. We absolutely love it here. Thank you, Chris.

"...your slice of paradise ... stole my heart!"

"...your slice of paradise ... stole my heart!"

We were honored to be guests #92 in this magnificent river retreat! Of all the places our family has stayed, including Jamaica, Hawaii, Big Sur, your slice of paradise is the one that stole my heart! ... The whole of this Hagenston family found their heaven here; from reading peacefully near the riverfront and napping to the roar of the river to wondering at the beauty and gleefully exploring every amazing crevice, everyone greatly enjoyed their week here, no matter how long we really waited to stay ("forever"). Personally, my favorite part was the rocky river bordering the sandy beach. I spent so much time hopping across the rocks with Dad and splashing in the cool water, and I enjoyed every second! The wildlife and overall nature was beautiful ... This whole place really blessed my vacation time, and we all hope to come again! the Hagenstons, guest #92 3/23-30, 2013

...Kaweah Falls has brought us solitude.

Submitted: March 21, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Here we are, back again, as the 89th guests!

It's hard to put into words how much this wonderful retreat means to us. After suffering great sadness after the loss of a family member a few months back, Kaweah Falls has brought us solitude.

The sights and sounds of this beautiful setting, as well as the gorgeous home and amenities have offered us rest and rejuvination

Thanks for everything Chris!

xoxo We love you,

When I first opened the gate and walked down the stairs with my friends. We came down and had our first view of our home for the next 4 days. We were amazed by what we saw, it was beautiful. My friends began to thank me and tell me I had made the best choice ever.

It is a place where you can get lost. I had many moments taking me back to my childhood, just sitting and gazing at the water, trees and just taking everything in.

It is the type of place that you want to keep to yourself, but I would highly recommend to my family & friends.

I look forward to the opportunity of visiting this lovely place in the near future.

Stayed 3 nights at this wonderful, relaxing house! We cooked some amazing food and had a fire every night by the river. Took several hikes and relaxed during the day by the river. Looking forward to going back someday.
