About this house rental

3 mi to Sequoia Park - 3bd, 2 bath, 3 decks with pool "BEST VACATION HOME 2016"

Mesmerizing views, wood throughout, 2800 sq ft comfy & clean, family-friendly

You will be rushing to get "home" from the park so that you can take a deep breath, relax and just embrace the ambiance of this spacious, well-maintained retreat of a home perched on a knoll close to the heart of Three Rivers. It was built with one thing in mind and that was to capitalize on the beauty of the High Sierra mountain range. Window after window is filled to capacity with both the native foliage of the surrounding foothills and the majesty of the high country peaks. The pool is just steps from the house and offers a view of the mountains that is unsurpassed.

You will feel right at home the moment you enter this comfortable, family-friendly home. Enter into a lounge that looks out expansive windows with views of Sequoia National Park. You choose.. kick back, read a book, surf the internet, play some games, or just gaze at the view. Just inside, you will find a cozy living room that includes a stone fireplace with firewood provided seasonally, a flat-screen TV with Firestick streaming services and tons of DVDs, and comfy furniture to melt into. The dining area is nearby with seating for 8 people. Pass through that into the sunny, window-encased kitchen overlooking the pool area. It is idyllically situated to entertain, cook and supervise the little ones playing in the pool. The kitchen is fully-equipped with a full-size oven, a dishwasher, a massive French-door refrigerator, a coffee maker, cookware, serving ware, dinnerware and flatware. All you have to bring is your food! Not the coffee, though, because we provide fresh coffee beans and Keurig pods for you along with commonly used spices.

Ground level you will find a bedroom for the kids complete with two twin sized beds. On the opposite side of the living area is a bedroom with a new queen pillow-top mattress. This bedroom faces the mountains. Also on this floor is a bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Upstairs you will find the Grand Primary bedroom & bath. This is a huge room with a vaulted knotty pine ceiling, a California King bed and a Queen bed. The bedroom is surrounded by two huge decks, one facing Case Mountain and the other spouting unobstructed mountain views. There is a separate thermostat so that the upstairs guests can adjust the temperature to their liking. All bedrooms have window coverings.

John’s Place is perfect for groups of 4 to 8 people. You are only about 3 miles from Sequoia Nat'l Park and a couple of minutes from the quaint town of Three Rivers. If you need to stay connected electronically, fast, dependable WiFi is available at the house for you to use during your stay. For your convenience, we provide an EV charger to our guests. This home is truly a family-oriented recreational destination in itself!

Outside you will find a large unheated pool, perfect for cooling off on hot summer days. Lounge chairs offer an opportunity to relax and enjoy the views and abundant wildlife. There is a propane grill and a plethora of outdoor seating whether you would like to dine outside or just chill by the pool on a lounge chair. Our naturalistic gardens are a work-in-progress, focused on California native and Mediterranean-climate plants to attract birds and other wildlife.

We have recently begun offering this incredible home as a rental after being off the market for several years. It was supremely popular, with over 100 great reviews that, unfortunately, could not be carried over to the new homeowner, who has made many wonderful improvements. It is still being managed by Robin who consistently provides outstanding personal service. We would be honored if you choose John's Place for your visit to our neck of the woods.

**As of January 2024, we have a Ring camera at the main entrance to the home. It is strictly to protect the property during non-occupancy. Once you arrive, it will be disarmed until you depart.**

We loved this home! Robin was a welcoming host and very communicative. The home had everything you would need and even more extras that you probably forgot at home. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

The location was perfect, close to Three Rivers restaurants and it was less than a 10 minute drive to the entrance of Sequoia National Park. There was some great bird watching and beautiful views from the backyard and deck spaces. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. It was spacious and enjoyable for our group of 6 people ranging from 8-75 years old!

We had a wonderful stay at John’s place. It was close to Sequoia which we did for two days and in the evenings we played cards and watched movies. The kitchen was well stocked for our group of 8 and even had coffee and a few spices in the cabinet. The only thing we would have changed would have been to have a hot tub since it was too cold to swim but other than that it was perfect! Thanks Robin for being a great host!
