Guest Reviews

• Lucas (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswert - Die Lage ist optimal um nach dem Besuch des Nationalparks gemütlich am Fluss zu entspannen. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was wir für die Tage benötigt haben. Zudem sind Tankstellen und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten direkt in der Nähe. Sehr empehlenswert🥳 -
• Mary (7/5): A lovely, quirky home in a beautiful location. - We loved the beautiful setting! We loved being in a small, homey place! It was cozy and quirky and interesting, which we loved! It was lucky that Mars was on site when we arrievd, to welcome us and help us find our room. Mars was a great communicator in advance of our stay, and provided many thoughtful, lovely touches in the room. It's a special place! Arriving on the road FROM Sequoia National Park, it's impossible to see the place, as there's no sign or mailbox, so it's easy to blow right past. We saw the sign from the other side, and turned around and parked. If Mars hadn't been there, it would have taken a while to figure out how to find our room. More clear written directions and something visible from the road coming from the north would help. There were plentiful linens in the room, but the towels were pretty dingy.
• Josef (9/5): - Tolle Lage an Fluss. Liebevolle ausgestattete Unterkunft.
• Herrera (10/5): Breath taking cabbin - Great location and AMAZING view of the river. Just SPECTACULAR
• Hendrik (9/5): - Locatie is top. Aan een beek. Stoelen. Terrasje. Je kan er zwemmen. Van de weg bovenlangs heb je geen enkele last. Niets
• Jordan (10/5): Relaxing - Amazing location! Just a short walk to the river, we didn’t want to leave! The room was cozy yet spacious, and it’s close to local restaurants and the Sequoia entrance. Mars provided excellent communication and service—thank you for a wonderful stay! N/A
• Gina (10/5): -
• Jentarra (10/5): Wonderful house. Very comfortable and private. - Excellent location! Right on the river. Spent lots of time walking along it. Bathroom could have used more shelves but otherwise it was great.
• Nicola Andreas (10/5): -
• alberto Antonio (10/5): - Los ventanales muy amplios con vistas muy lindas al rio. El balcon dónde desayunamos Nada
• Eiman (10/5): We went for the sequoias but that river was a vacation within the vacation - Serene. Very relaxing. Clean. Attention to detail. It was a vacation not to be forgotten. The sound of the river still runs in my ears after coming home Nothing
• Sandeep (7/5): -
• Paul (10/5): A slice of heaven - What a location!! Superb! Very few places have a back area like this, a sandy beach at the side of a mountain fresh river that you can swim in. Really good cosy room too. We loved it.
• Chrystelle (7/5): - Emplacement Animaux sauvages à proximité et non signalés
• LUCY (10/5): Just perfect. - The location of the guesthouse right on the river was just amazing. We enjoyed hours playing in the rapids, jumping off rocks and swimming in the lovely water. The studio was perfect for our needs, quiet, clean and comfortable.
• Buddhdev (10/5): Little gem a slice of heaven and not too far from the park! - House by the river we can swim in, room was tastefully set, clean and vet comfortable! A slice of heaven! Nothing
• Dagan (10/5): Comfortable stay with fun river access - Nicely equipped apartment and the river access and outdoor seating areas can’t be beat! Great for playing in the day and stargazing at night. Would recommend for families with kids. Great location and beds were very comfortable Quite cramped for a family of five but we made it work.
• richard (10/5): - The photos of the setting do not do it justice, it really is the most beautiful location!
• Hideo62 (10/5): - １日中川遊びをしていても飽きない場所。部屋の家具や調度品の品がよく、自炊のための食器類もすべて準備されている。宿の雰囲気がよく、快適に滞在できた。 テラスの天井のクモの巣が気になった。
• Laurie (8/5): Wonderful few days in The Rivers and the National Parks! - Location with the beach and river was amazing! Bed was just ok.
• Jan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kristina (10/5): A little slice of heaven!! - Location, location, location!! Such an awesome experience. A little slice of heaven! The beach and all the areas to unwind , go swimming and experience nature.
• Kemal (10/5): Backyard left me speechless when I saw it first time - Location of the property was amazing. It’s on a beautiful river and it has huge backyard with lots of areas where you can sit and enjoy the views. Building is older but it’s clean and I would definitely go back
• Rowan (10/5): Exceptional - Delighted with this lovely house, riverside beach and location for the national park. Would love to stay here again - truly magical!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - We had a lovely stay although underestimating the driving time for Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Loved our time at accommodation although hard with bad cell service. Possibly due to us having Project Fi and not Verizon or AT & T. Loved waking up looking at the river!
• Markus (10/5): A wonderful place perfectly decorated and a wonderful host. -
• Acosta (9/5): Had a wonderful time - The location was perfect. The place itself was quaint, cute and perfect for a couple that wants to get away. You have your own private balcony and the place sits on the river.
• PATTI (10/5): - I have stayed here a few times now, and I am never disappointed. It is set on a beautiful piece of property. The owner is the best as she gives you the run down on all the local places to enhance your experience. Thank you Mars
• Denis (10/5): Exceptional - It is amazing place, must have for all
• Wojciech (9/5): Superb - Excellent location , very comfortable , communication with owner ( clear instructions ) . Wonderful view on the river . Quiet place
• Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely gorgeous place! Amazing view, very unique feelings!
• Tony (9/5): Great place to unwind after a day i the parks. - Great location and loved the relaxing vibes
• Richard (9/5): Great location next to the river - very relaxing. - Lovely location by the river. So relaxing to hear the water flowing and being able to sit and have breakfast on the veranda watching the wildlife. A sink in the small kitchenette would have been useful.
• Joseph (10/5): Best placed we’ve stayed so far on our Californian road trip - Such a great little spot right on the river. Idilic and peaceful. Room was lovely and clean and nicely furnished with everything we needed for our short stay. Good location for Sequoia national park.
• Gonzalez (9/5): Superb -
• Filip (10/5): Paradise. - The place looks out over the river and allows you to relax, swim, enjoy in a wonderful environment. Communication and information shared was perfect. The lady who took care or the garden and the area close by the river, was well organised and kind. Nothing.
• Joaquin (10/5): - Very good
• Brett (10/5): Beautiful, scenic getaway to relax in nature and soak up the Sierra or cast in a line - The view and the sound of the river were wonderful! The location next to the national park entrance was great, as were the local food spots. Nothing the property owner could have changed :-)
• Russ (10/5): If we're ever in the area again, we'd love to stay here! - This was a trip for my wife and I with one of our granddaughters, and we chose to stay in this town because of its proximity to the Sequoia National Park. Although we stayed in one of the smaller rooms, it was spacious enough with a bed for us and one for our granddaughter. What a beautiful location - being able to sit outside on any of the multiple seating areas and listen to the rushing sounds of the river was exactly the respite we needed! Our granddaughter stayed on the calm side of the river and waded and played in the water, digging canals in the sand and moving rocks to her heart's content - she could have stayed playing like this for hours! The short distance to delicious eateries was nice, although parking was at a premium (at times not enough spaces for the demand). We enjoyed the Sequoia Coffee Co. for breakfast and Ol' Buckaroo, Casa Mendoza (we sat on the patio), and the Pizza Factory for dinners out. Three Rivers Yogurt was a yummy stop after dinner one night! Loved our stay at the Rio Sierra and highly recommend it!
• Pedrão (9/5): Superb - The riverfront and the river itself. The property is so well located and the river offers such a great entertainment that makes it a competitor of the parks. My kids didn´t want to leave to the trails, it was all about spending time a the river. The absence of a door in the master bedroom
• Neil (10/5): Great location, lovely property. Fantastic. - Its location on the river is great and the property itself was well kept and full of interest. Nothing
• Alon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Fabio (9/5): Superb - Amazing location
• Juan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Victoria (10/5): This is the perfect vacation home! - The location was perfect for visiting Sequoia National Park. The room itself was so charming, perfectly decorated, and very comfortable. The property was gorgeous and peaceful with a nice beach on the river. The hosts provided everything from explicit instructions before arrival to a list of nearby sites, restaurants, etc. and even chocolate on the pillows. When I contacted the owners twice, they responded within a few minutes. I highly recommend staying here and definitely will be booking for my next trip to Three Rivers. The wet rocks on the beach are extremely slippery when exiting the water. The host provides warnings. Please be careful! This is no fault of the hosts, of course. Awareness is important though!
• Donna (10/5): Would definitely go back!! - Everything was perfect; we absolutely loved it! The location was fantastic, and the river was stunning. We especially appreciated all the attention to detail.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kimberly (10/5): Exceptional -

• Stephanie (10/5): - So cozy and full of little touches to add to the character of the home. Being on the river was extra special! The owners was very attentive and in touch. We loved this stay!
• Gary (10/5): This is an ideal place after a day of hiking in Sequoia! - We love the natural beauty and the sounds of the river are so calming! Be prepared for a deep sleep.
• Iris (10/5): We have only been gone a few hours and miss Rio Riverhouse already!! - Secluded, peaceful with nature all around you. The river runs behind the property and literally steps from your room. Beautiful flowers, plants and trees everywhere around the property makes your stay seem like a little piece of paradise.
• Krystal (10/5): - Beautiful grounds and river. Pictures of studio room & balcony are accurate. Cozy, safe, nice personal touches throughout! Highly recommend booking if you are considering!
• Bhavya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christy (10/5): Looking forward to coming back soon - Loved the scenery!’ The room was clean and bed was comfortable . Restaraunts and stores close by too made our stay complete / The Bathroom needed more shelf space for me to put my face on!! 😊
• Jennifer (8/5): Very good - Beautiful property with everything you’d need. Our son loved playing out by the river! Perfect location for a trip up to the big trees!!
• Karen (10/5): What can I say, Perfect! - A stunning house on a beautiful river. Master suite was huge, very well equipped. Great location near to a few restaurants. Recommend The Gateway. It's probably my favourite accommodation on our USA road trip so far. Absolutely nothing.
• Candace (10/5): - 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!
• Kimberly (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (10/5): Amazing - Absolutley magical place, bucket list place to stay. Amazing location, very functional. Gardens and beach are beautiful!
• Alan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catarina (10/5): 2 nights to visit sequoia National park. - Location, quality of mattress and bed linen, ease of checking in and out. Communication with management was always by message, with fast or even immediate response. Looks shabby from the outside
• Corey (9/5): Superb -
• Anna (9/5): Amazing if im in area would love to come back - The view, river, beach, cute interior and well thought out design Queen suite balcony great for relaxing and steps away from river My son had an absolute blast on the beach Recommend potiwash hike in the area-great spot up the road Bed is hard, towels were a bit stuffy smelling, not many restaurants open during the week, recommend a room with kitchen for more than 1-2 nights
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (10/5): An amazing time at an amazing place! - The room was clean and well stocked. The river and beach were amazing! Mars had great communication.
• Ludovic (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location. Clean property. Had to reschedule our stay and Mars was really helpful. The bath soap could do with an upgrade.
• Jacob (10/5): Great! - Amazing location and thoughtful accommodations :)
• Nicholas (9/5): Hugely enjoyable, superb location with lovely views. A hidden gem. - Great location. Well stocked for cooking, etc. Perhaps a little more communal room would have been good, but we could all sit around the kitchen counter
• Brenda (10/5): Loved the quaint, clean studio! Beautiful scenery!!! -
• Verified traveler (10/5): 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!
• Saba (10/5): - Enjoyed the stay with the family.
• Mayra (10/5): Exceptional -
• DIDIER (10/5): - The view on the river is beautiful I liked everything thing about this property, alought it is quite expensive
• Michael (8/5): welcoming host, terrific views, easy access to the national park. what’s not to like - quaint room in a great location and terrific views nothing springs to mind
• Cristina (8/5): Very good -
• Skrzyniarz (10/5): Amazing time in amazing place ❤️ - Beautiful place ❤️ Everything was perfect 👍
• Rishabh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Erik (10/5): would definitely stay here again. - awesome location, very comfortable and welcoming, felt like a home away from home. nothing really. The property is older and has some wear and tear but it doesn’t take away from the experience.
• Julia (10/5): beautiful property, some of the furniture in the room was a little impractical and dated but that could also be describe - stunning location right on the river Mars was great at communicating through text but didn’t get to meet her which I think is still because of covid but feel it would be nice now to just add the personal touch and put a face to the name, we did get to meet her cat though which was a plus for us
• Andrew (10/5): A lovely few days - located next to the river with its private beach , a few bars and restaurants are walkable
• Nir (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing experience Beautiful house Every little detail is covered A complete Heaven The team is really nice, kind and supportive We would stay here for months if we could
• Larry (10/5): - 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.
• Markus (10/5): 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 👍👍👍
• Richard (10/5): Exceptional - Great location great rooms a bit quirky but we liked that. We loved sitting having a wine literally on the river on a large rock..views v good...vlose to seqoia NP Nothing really
• Krisleng97 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yuxiang (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karen (10/5): - 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!
• Baltazar (10/5): beautiful place and Managament - everything clean and the river no comment
• Amanda (10/5): A beautiful secluded hideaway for a quick visit to sequoia, that allowed us a cool opportunity for fun after hiking in t - The location was amazing. we loved swimming in the river and hoping out for a lovely and close dinner. The first night the people above us were more than a little loud but after we politely asked they quieted and we were able to get our kids to sleep. not a big enough inconvenience to keep us from revisiting.
• Kelley (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nick (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alexandra (10/5): a place with a soul - scenic view in a special place. the taste and attention in decoration. go for a room on the river, it’s totally worth it there is no breakfast but you can find restaurants around and there is a totem deli making good sandwiches before the entrance of the park
• Blake (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lisa (9/5): Superb -
• Ray (10/5): - 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.
• Michele (10/5): - Beautiful hotel on the river
