Staying on the river is very cool. The room was well cared for and all we needed. The deck and areas by the river are very welcoming. Thank you!

Fun stay!
Our stay was beautiful and relaxing. The room was awesome and just perfect. Fishing and the water, beat the heat. And watching the rafters go by was fun too!

The property is totally unique and everything they claim to be. The river is perfect, the facilities are clean, well maintained and well supported. For what it is, you cannot do better. If you want someone to carry your bags, order room service, clean the room every day, say good morning as you leave, this is not the place for you. If you want to relax in a really cool place, this is it.

GREAT Lodge at a Great Place and First-Class host
We had a wonderful stay at an amazing place right at the river. Can't be better. We had breakfast every morning right at the river. And a vine on our terrace every evening, also with river view. Mars, the owner took great of us. She responded always and right away. First-Class host!!! The place is just 15min from the Parc entrance. What else do you need 👍👍👍

This small hotel is ALL about location! To anyone who thinks it is too expensive you are paying for the absolutely beautiful grounds, privacy and access to the river for swimming, fishing or just relaxing. We rented room 2 that was facing the river. It was very cozy with a comfortable queen mattress, a day bed, a little refrigerator and a microwave. It was all that we needed since we spent most of our time outside. There were several restaurants about a 5 minute drive away. The hotel is on the main hwy to the sequoias but felt like we had driven into the backroads. We will visit again just to be here and enjoy sitting by the river all day. I would not stay here with small children but older kids will enjoy exploring the grounds. We met only the housekeeper (I think) and she was very polite. It was lovely listening to the river and watching the stars at night. We were the only guests there which made it the best vacation ever!

I have stayed at the Rio Sierra River house on more than one occasions & this property everytime has been absolutely amazing. The rio Sierra river house hosts the best spot on the river to swim or just enjoy a tranquil morning sipping your coffee or tea. I highly recommend this spot to everyone for any reason, you will not be disappointed. Conveniently located in walking distance to a number of stores,restaurants, and is only a 4 minute ride to the Sequoias national park entrance. Book as may nights as your heart desires you will leave wishing you could stay longer.

Would not stay there again because its over-priced
Quirky decorations but the owner Mars does an excellent job with her guests. She strives to make your stay a good one. Things I liked about the property: 1. the river views although the water was running so fast, we couldn't go near it with my small children. 2. the beds are so comfortable with quality bedding. 3. Excellent service. Mars met us from the second we arrived and was attentive to our needs. Her staff, too, is great. Disappointments: The ice maker in our unit did not work and we had to keep going back to the office to get ice. They gave us a small container of ice each time which was not sufficient. 2. the price is outrageous. Although our booking on Hotels.com stated the breakfast was free, Mars offered it to us for $18/pp. No thanks. The cost of the room was not worth it. The hotel is on a busy street and doesn't fit a 5 star cost.

Magical place to stay.
My family stayed here to be close to the Seqouias. This BnB was more than amazing. The house is adorable and right next to the river and in the center of Three Rivers. Our room was clean, spacious and had the most amazing view of the river. The staff were very friendly and prompt to assist us with anything. Some might even call this BnB magical... we will definitely come back and highly recommend this to anyone.

The Rio Sierra Riverhouse was in a great location for us to make our home base while spending three days in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Mars was a wonderful hostess, our room (the Panorama Room) was clean, well appointed, and had a great view. It was so nice to sit outside in the late afternoon and evening and enjoy the river and relax with a book. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun place to stay while at the National Parks.
