Everyplace you looked, there is something interesting to see.
My wife and I were celebrating our 30th Anniversary along with some of our family members. The house was beautiful and exactly as described. We especially loved variety of sitting areas and decor of the property. Everyplace you looked, there is something interesting to see. Chris was especially helpful and responded quickly to any questions prior to our visit. Definitely would stay there again if we come back to the area.

We were stunned by the natural beauty of the location...
We were stunned by the natural beauty of the location of Chris’s house. It was so beautiful that we remarked on it randomly throughout our stay. The house is even more lovely than the photos. Every bedroom had its own charm. The decks created gathering places to enjoy socializing, playing cards and soaking in the beauty. The spot on the river is so special, we could see why people had been drawn to it for centuries. The little details like sharp knives in the kitchen, a truly well- stocked kitchen for cooking every single meal while we were there, great towels, comfortable furniture, and a spotless house, made our stay so perfect that we booked to return next year on our drive out. Although we were just a few minutes drive to the National Park, we had to force ourselves to leave to go for a visit.

The house and lands were so well maintained and clean!
This was a great escape for my family. The house and lands were so we'll maintained and clean! The river was mellow enough that my 7 and 9 year old could swim and walk upriver (with life jackets). The rocks on the property were so fun to climb. We spent so much time outside, which was exactly what we needed. Due to COVID, we decided not to leave the property at all, and we made all of our meals in the wonderful kitchen provided. The only downside of this property was that our stay was way too short!

We enjoyed every bit of this house...
We enjoyed every bit of this house (including the books!) and the great outdoors. We noticed all the effort put into making this a peaceful home away from home - especially all the places to sit inside and out.

This place is heaven.
“This place is heaven. The privacy, the sound of the river, the wonderful feeling of being totally enveloped by nature while also getting perfect WiFi and high end finishes? It’s almost too much to ask for. Don’t hesitate. Just book it. It will change your mindset for the better.”

I can't say enough wonderful things about this house.
This property couldn't be lovelier. The style and attention to detail throughout the house and property are first class. As beautiful as the pictures are they don't do this property justice. I've stayed at many vrbo's over the years and this one wins hands down. Plenty of room for two families to spread out. Great river access with a small swimming hole. You can watch your kids swim from the deck that overlooks the river. Beautiful views from the porch. Everything in the kitchen a master chef would want. The most comfortable beds I have ever slept on. I can't say enough wonderful things about this house. It's magical and I can't wait to come back.

Coming up with words to describe it, well, that is actually hard.
I have been renting on VRBO since it started and NEVER have I stayed in a more complete home than this! Coming up with words to describe it, well, that is actually hard. In no particular order: high end EVERYTHING, bedding was top notch, kitchen was beyond stocked, guest house was as nice as main house, CLEAN, I mean, CLEAN, high technology in the house, so many added things like box fans, remote controls for shades, books to read, fishing poles, so many hammocks, lounge chairs, and swings outside, spa shower, and then, the beautiful landscaping that just adds to the RIVER. The river...we stayed in early June so it was fast and loud...better than any sound on earth. We spent hours by the river reading, taking family pictures, and playing in the shallow areas. The firepit made an excellent place to warm up afterwards. I have staying in VRBO rentals in Jamaica, and 21 different states...this one TAKES THE CAKE. 11 out of 10 in our book!

Other landlords should take cues from Chris on hospitality.
My family loved our experience. Other landlords should take cues from Chris on hospitality. Everything you could want or need was available. As great as the pictures look, they don’t come close to depicting how amazing the facilities are or breathtaking the views are. This is really a perfect escape into nature coupled with 5-star accommodations.

This place is absolutely beautiful!
Wonderful host who was excellent when we asked a couple questions during our stay. We had dogs and a toddler with us who all had an absolute blast! House is very child friendly but obviously while outdoors you can’t take your eyes off of them. We will be back!”

This home far exceeded our expectations.
The photographs really do not capture how beautiful the property and home are, situated in an oak grove along the beautiful river front. The house was sparkling clean, so comfortable for us and our dogs, and had everything we could have needed. The steam shower and comfortable bed were very much appreciated and it felt luxurious to stay in this calm, peaceful, quiet, beautiful home, where every detail was so thoughtfully considered by the host. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property, and we plan to come back in different seasons. We saw blue herons and loads of woodpeckers at the property, and the visit to the Sequoia giants was magical. The local hike Chris recommended was beyond beautiful in the grassland meadows of the foothills. It really was a wonderful experience, from just hanging out at the house to exploring the National Park and landscape nearby. Chris was a wonderful host - so attentive and thoughtful and generous. This truly felt like a home away from home.

Chris’s place hits like an Asian-inspired rolling hills hideaway straight from the pages of T Magazine
In an Airbnb landscape often reeking of corporate landlords offering up Costco barstools, limp bedspreads and photographs of the Brooklyn Bridge shot by IKEA, Chris’s place hits like an Asian-inspired rolling hills hideaway straight from the pages of T Magazine (or any of the tasteful coffee table books that pepper his hideaway). It’s not just that every detail is considered, it’s that every comfort is as well. When we needed a meat cleaver for schnitzel, it was there. A fine sieve for Budino? Also there. And, get this, there was actual soap in the soap dispenser built in to the kitchen sink. Who does that? We were two families with five little ones and two dogs and there were periods we simply didn't see one another. The property is filled with hidden nooks and seating areas, behind small hedges, down rock steps, swinging from the boughs of twisting California oaks, and near the river that flows right in front of the front porch. The inside is similarly considered with its design. featuring areas both for gathering and privacy. We’d recommend it highly but we’d just be adding to the global chorus of voices singing its praises. It’s located across a small bridge down a private driveway from Three Rivers, a charming little one-strip town with a sub and soup shop that might as well be on top ten lists across the country. It’s also just 10 minutes removed from the entrance to Sequoia National Park. Chris is a charming host who is attentive in the run up and during as well. We’d say book it but you’re probably too late.

It’s beautiful, serene, and extremely well done.
Sequoia Falls is our favorite rental... we’ve been three times over the last 2 years. It’s beautiful, serene, and extremely well done. And the river is something special. It’s peaceful for the adults and the kids love it... and they spend almost all of their time outside playing. Can’t wait to go again!

A wonderful and luxurious experience.
We have rented dozens of houses over the years (lucky us!) and this is, by far, the most stylish and best appointed we have ever stayed at. We were there in the winter, so did not enjoy the outside porch and river access much, but retook full advantage of the inside amenities, generous spaces, and stylish furniture. A wonderful and luxurious experience.

Fantastically serene

Excellent Experience
We rented this property for the Thanksgiving break. This property was immaculate. We really loved the style of the property and we were impressed by the attention to detail. There is ample room for sleeping and the living room is a warm and inviting place for the family to kick back and relax. Unfortunately for us, there was tons on snow in the mountains which meant road closures. Fortunately for us, we had this amazing property to keep us entertained. The house is modern and has everything you could ask for. A fully stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze. The bedrooms were large and very comfortable. The deck overlooking the river was amazing as was the beach. This property was much larger than we expected and was full of little surprises like a little citrus orchard, outdoor fire pit, beach area, etc. Chris was very response from the beginning and it really seemed like he cared about making his guests experience as memorable as possible. 5+ stars. Would definitely recommend this place and we are definitely planning on returning.

Better than you could ever imagine
This property is just wonderful, peaceful and everything you could ever ask for in a vacation rental. Every detail is considered and exceeds expectations. I have a elderly parents who were comfortable and able to get around easily. The kitchen it well stocked, the bed linens are soft and cozy. The decor was fantastic, comfortable and enjoyable. Truly I have no complaints. Thank you for a lovely lovely stay.

Magical getaway
What a magical getaway! Our family decided on family trip to Sequoia National Park in mid-Oct to celebrate my father's 70th birthday. Our plan was to use this property as a base and hike our way through different parts of Sequoia park as we have done in the past. This time though, we only hiked one day and spent the rest of the trip staycationing at this beautiful house. Spacious property with timeless mid-century aesthetics with modern amenities, flawless landscaping and gorgeous views. This house offered a much-needed relaxing vacation that not only rejuvenated our body, but also cleared our mind from stressful daily lives. By far, this was one of the best trips our family had taken in years. Our family all agreed to designate this spot as our annual family trip destination. Thank you Chris for your beautiful house. We will be back.

Incredible house
I almost don’t want a write a good review as I’d like to keep this hidden gem all for myself! The house is absolutely beautiful and the location is just incredible. The hosts and housekeeper were super sweet and helpful. I can’t wait to go back.
Jenny, Homeaway, October 2019
Beautiful house with beautiful, relaxing setting.
Fully furnished with everything. I could not rate the place any higher. There are so many nice touches to the house and exterior with everything tastefully done. This is definitely the best VRBO I have ever stayed in!
