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.**

    This was an amazing property and Robin was a great host. A loaf of freshly baked bread awaited us as well as a greeting on the message board. The layout was wonderful for me and my wife and the couple that accompanied us. We loved being able to see the mountains from the back patio and we were entertained by the quail, turkeys, and birds. The interior was very comfortable and plenty spacious enough for the four of us. Beds were comfortable and the claw foot tub in the bathroom was an extra treat. Three Rivers had a number of restaurants to chose from and the ride into the park was very simple.The whole package could not have been any better for the four of us. Thanks for sharing your wonderful house with us, Robin.

    We were greeted at the front door with a personalized welcome sign and inside a loaf of fresh baked bread. The main house and studio were very clean and quiet. It was nice to sit outside (when it wasn't too hot) and watch the quail and turkeys.It was convenient being so close to Sequoia and also having a small grocery store nearby. We were very comfortable and highly recommend it.Thanks, Robin, for providing such a nice comfortable place.

    The pictures did not do this house justice. The pictures aren’t bad, but we found the house(s), its abundance of natural light, and the views to be quite beautiful. There is a main building and a close but detached studio, each laid out well to maximize space and with thoughtful mid century modern design touches. The home is well stocked, better than most we’ve stayed in. There was laundry detergent for the washer, personal care supplies in the bathrooms (soap, shampoo, conditioner, basic bandaid or ailment supplies, extra toothbrush, etc), and the kitchen had a full assortment of cooking utensils, k-cup machine with coffee pods, leftovers containers, an assortment of towels, and a full rotating spice rack. The stove looked brand new. Robin is a conscientious communicator and even had a fresh loaf of sourdough waiting in the kitchen when we arrived. We used it to start each morning with homemade avocado toast with over easy eggs. It was delicious. The residence is four miles from the Sequoia NP entrance which was very convenient in helping us avoid park traffic for our earlier morning Crystal Cave tour reservations. We have stayed at a couple of luxury homes with full on game rooms, and don’t get me wrong, those are fun experiences. But this is the house my kids asked to come back to, because it feels like an intimate home. They said we could skip the parks next time and just relax at Robin’s house and play her board games or read her books. :-)

    This house and property were very well set-up and maintained and a great location for exploring the national parks. We loved sitting out in the backyard in the evening. The house itself was immaculate and very well thought out with lots of little touches that made us feel right at home. Great communication with the host and check in was super easy with the code. We use VRBO all the time and this was one of our favorite stays!

    Our stay at Blue Oak Bungalow was absolutely amazing. The property is beautiful, cozy, tastefully decorated, and conveniently located within minutes from the entrance to Sequoia National Park (disclaimer: from the entrance to the park, you still need to drive about an hour to get to the trees). An abundance of natural light flows into the home through its many windows, allowing you to take in the views of the surrounding area and observe local wildlife enjoying the grounds. We saw plenty of squirrels, birds, and a couple of wild turkeys. The layout of the home, with the second room being its own casita off of the main house affords privacy, which my adult son enjoyed. My only regret is that we weren’t able to stay longer. 10 out of 10; highly recommend!

    We were delighted with our stay. Very clean and had everything we needed. The back yard was delightful and a perfect place to sit with coffee in the morning as the world awakened. We had a turkey parade at least once a day and a deer one morning, hummingbirds and bunnies' I would recommend this place. Robin was very responsive and the fresh bread was a lovely touch. We only had one evening that we needed the A/C and could not get it switched over from heat. I'm sure one call to Robin and she would have got us going on that. Was last night for us so a non issue. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed to cook up some meals. We also used the washer / dryer which kept our packing down for the flights coming and going. Thank you Robin for a lovely stay.

    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.

    Truly idyllic VRBO! The property manager provided detailed checkin directions that made it easy. When we walked in there was a freshly homemade loaf of bread! The space is filled with beautiful local art and nature themed books. The floor to ceiling windows allowed you to view the beautiful surroundings even when inside. Outside there are plenty of seating areas to relax and spot wildlife. The location couldn’t be more convenient — three miles from the park entrance and a mile outside of the main town center. Kitchen was equipped with everything needed. We used to make breakfast each morning before the days activities. Our trip was two couples… one stayed in the main house and the other in the studio. It was comfortable for us both. Can’t say enough good things.

    We had a fantastic stay at this bungalow! My two teenagers got the studio and my husband and I stayed in the king bedroom. We had a lovely, relaxing time and even had a flock of 4 turkeys come hang out in the yard for a few minutes. Robin was a very responsive host and was so kind and easy to work with. Highlights: A/C: It was hot the days we visited but the A/C was fantastic and had no trouble cooling the place down in the 103* heat. Location!: Not only is it just a few minutes to Sequoia NP, it’s just a few minutes to lots of great food trucks, a brewery, and some restaurants. So convenient. We stopped at a grocery store and bought a few essentials for breakfast, coffee/beer, and snacks/dessert so we were well stocked! Beds: Beds were soooo comfortable. We all 4 slept great every night—and I’m picky about my bed due to back issues. Hangout space: Couch was huge, comfortable and perfect for movie night with the family. Host: The host, Robin, made us a loaf of homemade bread with instructions on how to reheat it in the oven. It was delicious!! My family devoured it. Negatives: There is no ice maker. There are ice trays though, and a container in the freezer. When we arrived we made sure to empty the trays and refill them so we would have plenty of ice in the morning for our hikes and to cool down afterwards. It worked fine!This place was fantastic and perfect for our family!! We were happy to have found a great home away from home for our vacation!

    After the fires in Los Angeles we wanted a relaxing weekend alone in the mountains with fresh air. We got exactly that. The drive up was beautiful, check in couldn’t have been more clear, the property is beautiful, and kitchen is fully stocked. My husband and I relaxed in the backyard with our babies and watched the sunset, grilled dinner each night and enjoyed the string patio lights that gave it so much charm. The wild turkeys and quail are fun to watch (although our dog thought otherwise lol).The bed was comfortable and they even provided a pack n play saving us some space when packing. Next time we go back to Sequoia we will stay here again, I can’t imagine staying anywhere else.

    this property is even better in person than the photos. We had a fabulous time in the yard watching the birds and deer. There's lots of nice seating areas and lighting for the evening. The inside is updated and has everything you need- down to puzzles and games. AC handled 95+ degree days easily. Close to everything in town and the park but very quiet and restful.
