Stellar home view
Javier B.

This place is absolutely stunning, breathtaking. If you enjoy nature and what it has to offer then you'll love this place. It's hard to describe because you really have to be there to know what i mean. Absolutely unforgettable experience, from the hot tub with amazing views, to the balcony with fire pit and amazing views. Down to the refreshing river. This place is absolutely perfect for a getaway. And the host is very attentive and passionate about his establishment. I recommend a million times

River Jewel Suites - Kaweah Gem Suite: One of two riverfront suites. The suites sit on three private acres

River Jewel Suites

We stayed here during out last trip to Sequoia National Park. The property is just beautiful, and…read morebeing close to the river is nothing short of spectacular. The River Jewel is truly a gem. Our party reserved the Sequoia Charmed and Kaweah Gem Suites during our visit. I loved that each suite was walking distance to the river and that were lots of places to sit and relax on the way there. I stayed in the Sequoia Charmed Suite. There was a tiny balcony that overlooked the river. The outdoor kitchen was great. There were bikes to borrow, and there was even a ping pong table. The suite was adorable with a tiny kitchenette and a large pullout sofa. We really liked these beautiful suites. The owner, Diana, was thoughtful, and the suites were big, beautiful, and really relaxing. For our next stay in Three Rivers, I would love to stay at this lovely property again.

Our 2nd visit to River Jewel suites confirmed we'll be returning year after year! Hosts Diana &…read moreLarry have thought of everything! Our suite, The Kaweah Gem, was fully stocked with luxury towels; mini fridge, coffee maker & rapid heating electric water kettle for tea, hot chocolate, etc. Bedding was luxurious & comfortable! Shared outdoor kitchen had everything you could imagine & we were able to BBQ after a quick trip to the local grocery store. The privacy & river views are beyond special. On line pics don't reflect updates to the suite, teal carpet replaced with darker tile. Diana also accommodated our request to bring a masseuse on site for massages by the river. A gorgeous, tranquil setting & surely a destination for years to come!

Lazy J Ranch Motel - 2 queen beds

Room rate: $185/night…read more Positives The office staff seemed friendly. Overall, the grounds were nice. The proximity to Lake Kaweah was an added plus. The outward appearance of the motel seemed pleasant. It is also a great location to access Sequoia NP. That said, there were numerous issues. We were assigned to unit #1 (closest to the office), which I DO NOT recommend for the following reasons: 1) Initially, the hot water in the room was lukewarm at best. We asked them to adjust it which they did. It went from low lukewarm to medium lukewarm. Barely warm enough to take showers. Ironically the room instructions say guests are supposed to wash dishes before check out or be charged a fee. How clean can the dishes get with lukewarm water? Should the health and well-being of subsequent guests rely on how well previous guests wash dishes with lukewarm water? We're paying almost $200/night and have to wash dishes? 2) There is a charge for ice. Never came across this before, ever. See photo of guest instructions. We're paying almost $200/night and have to pay extra for ice? 3) Cabin/unit 1 is closest to a pen where they keep sheep and goats on site. The view of the lake is obscured by 1) the sheep pen, 2) a large bush 3) two large trees and 4) a window half covered with water spots (made even worse in the morning with glare from the morning sun. The trees provided shade, the bush didn't. Other cabins had the benefit of bushes that were trimmed for better visibility. Not sure why we got this cabin when others were available when we checked in. Several other parties checked in on Saturday (the day after we did) so other cabins were available at the time we checked in. 4) No TV remote in the bedroom. Had to download a remote app to control volume and on/off. TV instructions (in the living room) as written, did not work. The TV went dark without notice and didn't respond to the remote control. It responded to turning it off and back on - sometimes. There were other times that only way to get the TV to respond was by unplugging it, wait a minute or two and plugging it back in. These were daily issues. Multiply that by the number of days you're there and annoying doesn't begin to describe the frustration. While watching the NBA finals, the TV shutoff with 6:00 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. Wasn't able to get it to turn on again. Seriously? Note the photo of cables and extension cords hanging from the TV. Not a very neat appearance and could be a safety hazard. We're paying almost $200/night to have recurring TV issues? 5) When the toilet clogged and I reported it to the front desk, I was handed a plunger and a plastic bag to put it in afterwards. Seriously? Never cleared a toilet in a hotel before. Usually, maintenance handles that. We're paying almost $200/night and have to unclog the toilet? 6) On Saturday 6/14, we notified the office of water on the floor under the frig. On Sunday 6/15, we were in Sequoia NP all day, so the unit was available for someone to look at the frig. We arrived back at the room around 4:00 p.m. Water was still on the floor under the frig. Water was in the grout lines all over the floor. Same thing happened on 6/17. We were in Kings Canyon all day. When we got back the grout lines around the frig were wet again (see photos). If anyone looked at the frig there was no communication letting us know. We're paying almost $200/night to have recurring leaks under the frig? 7) There is an envelope in the room so that you can leave housekeeping a tip. If you're simply doing your job, that's not worthy of a tip. Given the cob webs and water spots on the windows they are not doing their job. Note - all units are single story making the windows reachable to be cleaned. Not sure why they don't clean the window during their housekeeping rounds or in between guests. 8) One window in the living room with an a/c unit had a cluster of dead insects and spider webs on the outside surface (see photo). Not the most appealing thing to look at. We're paying almost $200/night to look at dead insects and spider webs? 9) On a Monday morning 6/16 (our third morning) my wife showed me photos of roaches in both the bathroom and the kitchen. See photos. Given the lack of response to the leaking frig, I opted to get a can of bug spray from the front office and spray the kitchen and bathroom myself. I wasn't about to live with this nastiness one minute longer than necessary. Photos also show the dead ones the following morning. No urgency from the front desk when I asked for bug spray. They made a note for the Terminex man. No immediate action was taken. Almost $200/night to deal with roaches? I do not recommend this place.

I was very skeptical of this hotel based on the pictures. However, once arriving and staying, it…read morewas great. Everything was clean and comfortable, huge property to explore and fair price. Close to the park and restaurants too. Nice stay.

A wonderful place to reset, refocus, & realign! The staff here were so welcoming, friendly and made my stay perfect. My private room faced one of the surrounding "Three Rivers," which was astounding to see every morning. The fresh air, trees, and small town vibes were calling to me. This lodge is located just outside of the Sequoia National Forest Park. You can walk to the entrance but it takes an hour to drive up to the main trails and sequoia trees. *Cellular service is spotty here. However, they offer free wifi while staying here. *No Cleaning service here so don't forget to make your bed and clean up after yourself:) if you are OCD like me, lol! *Fresh towels, TP, trash bags, ice, DVDs, games, books are available in the front office. *Each room has "Fresh Organic Coffee Beans, an electric coffee grinder, microwave, small fridge, TV with satellite and a DVD player. *Free parking *Private cabins located across from the lodge with small kitchens and bathrooms.

Pros: awesome lake with a beach area for the kids, picnic table and fire pit for each site, rv hookups, variety of lodging (rv, tent, cabin), laundry room, market close by, 8 miles from the Sequoia National park entrance, clean campground, restrooms with showers, small store with wood, ice, snacks, and souvenirs for purchase. Cons: Not many tree shaded rv sites, no WiFi, terrible cell phone service, people bringing glass bottles out to the lake, and trash left by the lake. Aside of the few negatives/cons, we had an overall great experience. Everyone was very friendly, staff was helpful, and we really enjoyed the fact that there was a lake a few feet from our rv. The temperature ranged from 95-102, so the lake was warm and not freezing cold. There was a beach area leading into the lake, and the river was very peaceful and relaxing. We spent most of our time in the water and really enjoyed our stay here. We swam, fired up the grill, and made s'mores at night. Good times. We will definitely be back, except next time we will get a spot with some shade in the summer.

I thought the due to covid19 they would be more on it, but no. The beach area is our favorite & we couldn't really enjoy it, since there were 2 other families competing with their high volume music, which not everyone enjoys, we all have different tastes in music, & I was there to relax, but ended up with a migraine with the blasted music. The campground should keep the beach music free or tone it down, some of us just want to enjoy the river & relax.

The beautiful surroundings and the inn had a charming, vintage, and cozy touch that made us excited to stay. The owner greeted us warmly, and we appreciated the hospitality after driving all day from San Diego. The room was beautifully decorated, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We were able to take an evening swim before settling down for the night. When we woke up, we had breakfast right outside our room in a lovely setup with a garden atmosphere. I appreciated that they accommodated my diet and were more than happy to substitute food options to make me feel welcome. My husband and I decided right then and there that we'd be back for another stay and hopefully a longer one. I'd definitely recommend this place for a nice getaway from the city to relax and unwind.

The owner Lisa is an absolute doll filled with amazing hospitality and very artistic. You can see her work hung on the walls (she sells them as well if you find one you have to have). The gourmet breakfast was to die for! The grounds are kept so beautiful and well maintained. The house itself is filled with history and charm. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. Enjoy a day out hiking or sight seeing, stop into Exter and have a romantic French inspired dinner at Monets or grab a slice of Pizza at VIP and then come back and relax in the hot tub looking up at the stars! You will not be disappointed!
