The house is located right outside the entrance to the park in a great location. Everything was just as described and the property was inviting. Mark, the owner, was very helpful and provided suggestions for dining in town. We would choose to stay here again when coming back to Sequoia National Park

House is very spacious with modern amenities. Host was very welcoming, providing much info about Three Rivers' food and necessities prior to our arrival. It was a plus that there were snacks and wine as welcome gifts. If you are staying to visit SEKI, the deck has a great view of Moro Rock and the Sierras.

We stayed two days at the Shady Knoll and absolutely loved it. From the open communications with our host to the wild turkey that decided to pay us a friendly visit on our first morning. The house is wonderful, the location is not only convenient, but breathtaking. The host made everything easy and the house was exactly what we were looking for. If/when we make another stop at Sequoia, we’ll schedule our trip around the availability of this house.

Wonderful view. Daily visit from covey of quail! Enjoyed morning coffee overlooking mountain view. Community kind and helpful. Host directions provided for check in were critical with loss of cell service. Exactly peaceful retreat we were looking for! Host thought of all our needs.

This home is ideal for visiting the nearby parks. The views are breath-taking and the decks provide a comfortable place to sit and sip and marvel. We enjoyed the well-equipped and provisioned kitchen, the living area was ample and cozy and the bedrooms comfortable and large. Overall, we felt this home well-deserved its 5 star rating.
