About this property
Chic 2B2b Bungalow w/ studio 3 mi to Sequoia NP - Dog Friendly!
Welcome to Three Rivers - gateway to Sequoia National Park! This is the perfect time to escape from the city for a few days and spend some quiet time visiting the magnificent giant trees.
The Blue Oak Bungalow is nestled in the peaceful Alta Acres neighborhood of Three Rivers, only 3 miles from Sequoia National Park. The property is made up of 2 parts; the main house and a cozy detached studio just a couple of steps away. Built in 1956, this charming home masterfully combines the classic architecture from that era with a colorful modern flare that creates the perfect balance of old & new. The owner has lovingly restored, refurnished and redecorated the home with your comfort and enjoyment as a priority. Add to that the fact that he chose a manager whose houses have been voted "Best Vacation Home in Kaweah Country" for five years in a row, and you have the makings for a perfect experience.
The main house opens into a brilliant living room featuring floor to ceiling windows showcasing the Sierra Nevada mountains. You'll find lots of comfy seating, a woodstove, large screen smart TV and amazing local artwork adorning the walls. The open floor plan includes a dining table that will seat six and a full kitchen complete with a brand new gas oven & stovetop, new refrigerator/freezer, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, blender, cookware, dinnerware...you name it. The bedroom contains a brand new Cal King bed, large mirrored closet and a view of the garden and mountain peaks of Sequoia National Park. The bathroom features a wonderful claw foot bathtub with shower curtain enclosure, mirrored vanity, plenty of room, and towel sets for everyone. The temperature of the house can easily be controlled by a Nest thermostat. No matter how hot or cold it is outside, you will be very comfortable inside.
The adjacent studio (just a couple of steps away) is perfect for those in your party that prefer a bit more privacy. Inside you will find a bedroom with a new Cal King bed, outstanding views of the great outdoors, coffee service, mini fridge, big closet, cabinets for your storage and a full bathroom with tub/shower. We provide a double bed size Memory Foam fold-out mattress with linens if you need additional sleeping space in the studio. The studio's climate is controlled by a ductless mini-split offering both heating & cooling in an efficient and quiet manner.
We happily provide unlimited hi-speed internet (Spectrum approx 75Mbps download speed) for our guests who like to stay connected or are on a working vacation. The smart television is not connected to cable or satellite, but does offer Netflix and guests are welcome to access their own accounts as well (don't forget to bring your password).
The front garden is a cornucopia of colorful plants and fun seating areas. A propane BBQ grill is provided.
The town of Three Rivers, population under 3,000, has its own elementary school, several churches, hotels, gas stations, grocery stores, cool restaurants, a brewery, hardware store, a bank, and a handful of unique stores offering local arts & crafts. The town's boundary runs right up to the park entrance so you can't get any closer to Sequoia than Three Rivers if you are looking for convenient lodging while exploring the giant sequoias.
Come, be our guest at the Blue Oak Bungalow where you will feel the warmth of our hospitality, and the memories you take home will be enhanced by your stay in our little neck of the woods.
If you are traveling with four-legged family members, we do welcome them but ask that you follow the guidelines explained in the "Pet Addendum" portion of our Rental Agreement.
**Please trust that we will go above and beyond to exceed your expectations. Thank you for including the Blue Oak Bungalow in your accommodation options.**

Host was amazing great communication. The house was perfect! The beds were comfortable and the showers had great hot water. Wonderful extra amenities and the host was so thoughtful to bake us bread as a welcome gift!
Beautiful place, very clean! It was great watching the local wildlife through the giant windows. The host even left us a loaf of sourdough that was delicious. The suite is great for a secondary, more private, bathroom.
We really loved this retreat. The tidiness, the warmth, and the efficiency of how the property is set up was perfect for us and the pups. Quiet and friendly town with the best subs. greek food, of course Sequoias and Kings National park just around the corner. We plan on heading up again and again. Thank you Host Robin for being so nice and accomadating.
Great place! The separate studio space for the kids ( 3 teenage boys ) was very convenient and overall the house was a great layout for us, especially the large living space open to the table and kitchen. It is also nicely decorated and the bathroom in the main house is huge!
This was a great place to stay! We used it as base to visit Sequioa NP one day and Kings Canyon NP the next day. It was a very pleasant place to stay and had everything we needed. Very quiet and peaceful setting.
Great location, close to the Sequioa National Park entrance and Three Rivers shops/restaurants. Host was incredible. The property is beautiful and peaceful. Amazing place to stay!
We had a fantastic time at this charming bungalow home! The beautiful nature surrounding the property was a true breath of fresh air. The kids loved exploring the area, and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the birds and wildlife right outside the window. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the hosts were warm and welcoming. We’d happily return!
Well-appointed home, and it's so easy to stay here. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. Used a cooler for a full day in the park -- nice perk for those traveling from afar. The bedrooms and bathrooms were extremely comfortable and also well stocked with linens.The outstanding area, though, is the yard. That's where we hung out most of the time. Beautiful light in the early morning and late afternoon. You feel very secluded, and animals scamper through the yard.
Robin was a great host and the location is right near the entrance to Sequoia National Park which was perfect for our trip. Loved the separate studio room. Very cozy.
We LOVED Our stay at Robin’s sweet Sequoia home — it was the perfect home base for us to explore the surrounding nature and have a place that felt comfortable and cozy to return to each night. Everything was super clean, the beds were very comfortable, and there were lots of nice touches, including puzzles, games, and even freshly baked bread. Would definitely stay here again!
This is one of the best run vacation rentals our family has had the pleasure of staying in. Fresh baked bread upon arrival, great communication with the host in a beautifully decorated space. Close to a small town with good options for eating just outside of Sequoia National Park. Incredible stay for our family of five!
We loved our stay! Home was clean and well stocked. It was a great place to come back to after hiking in Sequoia. The backyard and views were beautiful. Thank you for sharing your home!
Totally loved this house and the cottage. Everything about this place deserves a 10 rating. The surrounding grounds were also beautiful. I can’t think of one negative thing about this place. Would definitely stay here again.
My husband and I, and our dog, loved our stay in Three Rivers. The house was terrific and the patio was a great place to hang out, with views of the mountains, birds singing, and flowers blooming. Easy communication with Robin. So many places to explore and hike that were dog friendly. Even one of the restaurants let us bring our pooch inside. Would go back in a second!
Such a perfect place! Loved the separate ‘cottage’ for another couple who joined us for our hiking adventures and the yard had Mountain Views and beautiful night skies!
Great location south of Sequoia national Park. Easy directions, check-in, quiet, nice neighborhood, quiet little town of three rivers with places to eat. Very easy check-in, hostess was wonderful, great decor, super comfortable beds. Perfect for two long-term friends to vacation together, but have their own separate places. One of the best places I’ve stayed on VRBO.
Communication with Robin was outstanding. She always responded back in a timely fashion. The house was exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated, beautiful view, had all things needed. We would definitely stay there again.
Robin was a wonderful hostess. The house feels like a home away from home. We saw so many neighborhood animals throughout our stay, turkeys, cats, birds. The location is very close to the national park entrance and shops in town.
