We stayed in the deluxe queen studio. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. . It has a full kitchen and a full wall of windows overlooking the river! There was a great little deck with a table and chairs for eating breakfast and enjoying the view. The property had a great beach area with several nice spaces with canopies and chairs for guest to relax in. And plenty of space for all of the guests to enjoy . The River was clear and deep enough to swim in.. it was not very cold but was refreshing in the summer heat after a day spent up at the national parks. The room was wonderful . The kitchen was fully stocked with pots pans utensils , dishes, etc. the beds were comfortable there were plenty of blankets and towels etc. The host was very welcoming and responsive when we reached out with questions and there were instructions, request, and a lot of good suggestions for enjoying our stay provided in a paper that was left in the room.. I would definitely recommend the spot, I plan to come back to visit the Area again and couldn't imagine staying anywhere else

Rio Sierra River Resort is my favorite place to stay, period. Everything about it is amazing, from…read morethe river to the rooms, perfect. It has become a destination to me, not just an overnight pass-through. The staff are so attentive, just let them know if you need anything. I just recently stayed and can't wait to return. If you do have concerns, such as the cancelation policy, you should contact them in advance to clarify that.

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!

We stayed at the Lazy J Ranch motel as a base camp for exploring Sequoia NP. The main entrance to…read morethe park is only a few minutes up the road. While the rustic vibe might not be for everyone, we had an enjoyable stay. We reserved a stand alone cottage and it was the absolute perfect fit for our family. Having a kitchen and no adjoining walls is a lifesaver with a 14 month old. The room was clean and was even serviced (beds made, fresh towels) every day which I wasn't expecting. The kitchen had everything we needed utensils and (basic) cooking wise - stove, microwave, pots and pans, etc. The AC worked great at keeping the room cool (it was 100* outside), blinds were all functional, and the ceiling fan delighted our son. We were located directly across from the pool and I worried it would be loud with other guests after our son went down but you couldn't hear anything. All the other guests were friendly and respectful. We enjoyed sitting outside our cottage in the Adirondack chairs with a glass of wine when our son went to bed. We also enjoyed saying hi to the goats and sheep (we didn't notice any noise or smell and the pens were directly behind our cottage), but didn't make it down to the river. We would definitely choose to stay here again as it was convenient, comfortable and clean.

The Lazy J Ranch Motel was adequate for our trip to see Sequoia NP. The price was reasonable,…read morestaff was very friendly and accommodating, water was hot and powerful, unit was very clean, pool was refreshing and we used the laundry facilities (which were cheap to use). I would rate them a five however there were maintenance items that need addressed. 1) light above coffee area didn't work. Perhaps adding a small desk lamp might be the solution. 2) we did not find the bed comfortable. 3) the a/c unit rattled every time it ran.

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.

Some more pros: -Directly across from a nice restaurant. -Awesome small town vibe. -Easy check-in, with friendly front desk. -Clean, well kept, nice touches. -Beautiful big yellow tree outside our window (we visited in December 2023. -Kaweah River on property with tree swing, ducks, cattle/sheep views in the mountains in the morning.

We stayed a week here and had a great time. In a nutshell…read more... 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.

We really enjoyed talking to Alan and learning more the history of the house. And of course we got to meet the head of security, Mr. Cooper!

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.

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.
