A stay guests come back for

Guests describe the stay as magical, with many returning for anniversaries and special trips
Nestled beside a flowing stream, this historic botanist’s cabin was created for simple living and deep connection with nature. Light-filled and intimate, the studio is wrapped in windows that bring the forest indoors, with a full kitchen, soaking tub, and outdoor shower. Surrounded by redwoods, a lily pond, a water garden, and wandering paths, this is a rare place to slow down, unplug, and experience something truly one of a kind in Three Rivers.

Neighborhood highlights

A simple place where nature is within reach. Where mornings are slow and a symphony of birds commence with the rising sun. Where the water is steady flowing and nothing stays the same. A place of seasons with new experiences in between, where the leaves come and go but the giants stay Evergreen.

We are located at the end of a private road in a lush tree-filled setting. There is nothing like it in Three Rivers.

Downtown is about a 5 minute drive. Sequoia Nat'l Park entrance is 10 minutes away. We are 55 minutes from the Giant Forest.

Because we are in the foothills and remote, cell service can be spotty. Only AT&T and Verizon may work. You'll have WIFI once on the property.
