Three Rivers, California
Redbud Trail Retreat is nestled among the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, on the South Fork of the Kaweah River. This property offers the utmost in privacy and seclusion while being less than 10 min. from the quaint town of Three Rivers & 15 min. from Sequoia National Park.
The large 5500 sq ft residence is set on 24 magnificent wooded acres of blue oaks and redbuds overlooking its own unique piece of the South Fork of the Kaweah River. Keep an eye out for the local deer, stroll our olive grove or just marvel at the majestic mountain vistas.
The property is comprised of a two-story house with the utmost in luxury and comfort with an adjacent cozy cottage. Central heating/cooling and a flexible mix of rooms with private patios ensures privacy, comfort and accommodation for any combination of guests. The newly remodeled kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances ready for the heartiest of meals. Adjacent is a dining area seating up to 12, central to a generous and lofty living area with wood burning fireplace and veranda with breathtaking views of Blossom Peak. The outdoor living environment is equally enchanting with a fabulous lagoon pool, fireplace and rustic outdoor dining area with gas BBQ - all with a beautiful river view.
The ground floor also has a master suite with a king bed and a master bathroom with large jetted bathtub, generous shower, Swedish Sauna, separate toilet and bidet, walk-in closet and an extra vanity area. On the ground floor there is another bedroom with a Tempur-Pedic queen-size bed and outdoor seating area. The third ground floor bedroom includes two queen beds, sitting area and private patio. There is also a full bathroom, a full laundry room with state of the art appliances and a separate library room.
Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, one with a Tempur-Pedic Queen bed and one with a king bed. Both have walk-in closets and private balconies. There is a central bathroom with separate vanity area.
The adjacent cottage is completely private and only steps away from the main house. It offers rustic charm, knotty pine ceilings and walls, and a wood burning stove. It also has central heating and air conditioning. There is a queen bed in a nook area, a lounge dining area, living room with convertible sofa, a separate bedroom with two twin beds, a veranda and a bathroom.
Although the residence is superb, it is the outdoors that is the big attraction. Sip coffee on the huge veranda overlooking the lagoon style pool and watch the river running below, or enjoy meals on the rustic barbecue deck, marveling at the majestic mountains. In winter, huddle by the outdoor fireplace sipping wine while gazing at the incredible night sky. In summer, relax by the pool, dipping in to cool off now and then. Take nature walks on the property through the blue oaks, along the river frontage or through the olive grove, all the while being on the look-out for our friendly deer.
You will love vacationing at Redbud Trail Retreat so much it may be difficult to tear yourself away to see Sequoia National Park and other attractions.
If you can leave your compound, the area offers an abundance of activities year round.
The house is on the river. Very comfortable, great kitchen. Beds were comfortable. The decor was a little dated, but homey. The air conditioner stopped working in the cottage but it was fixed the same say. Robin is a great host. We booked massages with the recommended massage therapist. Wonderful.
It was everything it was advertised to be. Great place for family and kids. Creek and pool kept them busy.
Had a great time in a beautiful setting.
We loved Redbud Trail Retreat! Our family group consisted of 8 adults and 2 kiddos (age 5 & 7). Between the main house and the cottage, everyone got a nice room. Also, there were extra mattresses and, in the cottage, a foldout couch bed. So room for more. The house was big enough for all of us to gather for meals, games, or television, but it was also big enough for anyone who wanted alone time to go get it. The pool is perfect. Three Rivers is hot in July. The pool is cool and a great design for all ages. And, the house is stocked with numerous floaty toys. We also loved cooking. The kitchen is first-rate, with all the pots, pans, and utensils you can imagine. The gas grill was a huge hit too. Beyond the house, there is the property. A river runs through it, and hiking along the bank is challenging, not too dangerous, and super-fun. My 21-year-old daughter enjoyed foraging and was thrilled to find some white sage. Down by the river, there are two sacred places. One had stone chairs and a stone table and the appearance of a medieval meeting place. Adjacent to it was a series of posts with relief images showing the stages of the cross - with stone or wood benches nearby for contemplating. One member of our family uses a wheelchair. He was quite comfortable moving independently in and out of the house and throughout the main floor. Best of all, Robin, our host, was very responsive to our questions and needs. Overall a great time!
This house was wonderful...fully stocked with bedding, blankets, paper goods, cooking supplies & seasonings, as well as wonderfully furnished and comfortable. The rains of 2023 made it all the more adventurous with the beautiful sound of the South Fork of the Kaweah River playing its music in the background, not to mention the its power over the doings of mankind. This is a must for anyone looking to visit The Sequoia & Kings Canyon NPs.
Robin was extremely communicative and endlessly accommodating- she even set our group up with a vehicle to negotiate the creek passage, which was flooded from the recent rains. The property itself was perfectly private and even more scenic than the pictures showed. Would definitely stay at Redbud again.
Really enjoyed our stay. The house is well appointed and a delight to stay at. Lots of property to explore. Everything in the house seemed to work. Beautiful view. Hope to stay there again in the future.
The property was beautiful. We were surrounded by nature and wilderness, which was a great experience. The home was spacious and cozy. The host Robin was very communicative and helpful. The concerns were that some of the lights didn’t work, and the hot water is limited.
This was an excellent stay for my whole family. Plenty of room for everyone and tuck back in the canyon at three rivers, so there was plenty of wildlife to enjoy. I only wish we would've stayed for the duration. The only thing I missed on the listing is that two rooms are connected downstairs, which created some light drama during the room selection. Other than that, it was easy to get into, the host was great.
We had an amazing time at this property to celebrate a birthday with friends! Breathtaking views, a gorgeous updated kitchen with all the appliances you could desire, comfortable beds, and endless opportunities to have fun! Truly can’t recommend this home enough and we are looking forward to returning soon!
We stayed here for our daughter’s nearby wedding which was rescheduled twice because of the pandemic. When we finally got to the house it took our breath away. It looks nice in the photos but is ten times nicer in person. Robin helped with everything and was so great even when we kept having to reschedule. Absolutely worth the wait, it was so spacious and comfortable, the property and views were spectacular, and it was everything we hoped for!
While Three Rivers was SUPER hot when our family of 19 met up in mid-July for our family reunion we were still able to enjoy some rest and relaxation with the beautiful setting (and AC!). There was plenty of room to spread out inside and outside and the little cottage allowed us to give the some independence to the younger kids. Having the pool right out back was also amazing and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The landlord was very communicative and very patient with our questions regarding the items on hand (for the pool and kitchen, etc). Checking in and out was super easy, which is always nice when you have so many people taking part.
We gathered with our extended family, ages 3-70. We loved it all!
Accommodations were clean. The pool was a wonderful feature and very clean. But most of all was the close proximity to the Giant Sequoia National Park...about 10 minutes.
