The Shady Knoll

The Shady Knollis trulya great 'BnB'. Itwas created and is managed by a dedicated local Three Rivers Team. We really do care about all of our guests as you visit to "our neck of the woods". The ‘Knoll’ is located on a secluded and quiet lane only 2 miles from the Sequoia Park entrance and it really is on a Shady Knoll :)
The kitchen is fully equipped with utensils, pots, pans, dishes, spices, a blender, and a toaster, everything you would need to prepare meals in-house for those who love to cook. We also provide you with coffee and assorted teas, along with a few complimentary goodies. We provide plenty of local information and tips from your Host including where to go if you just prefer dining out! The bathrooms are always clean with plenty of fresh, clean towels. We also supply you with shampoo, conditioner, body wash.
The beds are all top of the line King size and include all new linens. These beds are comfortable! We also use hypoallergenic pillow and bed protectors for your safety and comfort.
The couches and the dining room table are comfortable as well. Yes, there is a large HD-tv and very good Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi is good enough to stream movies 24/7 so we provide you with free Netflix!
There is a BBQ on the deck and the living room is situated to take in views of the (often) snow-peaked Sierra Mountains. The views from the front and back are some of the best in Three Rivers and each is completely different.
Relax on the huge back deck with a panoramic view of Moro Rock and Alta Peak! The small front deck looks over the whole town of Three Rivers. You will have a view of Eagles Peak and you can often hear the Kaweah River in the valley below.
Always be on the lookout for photo ops of our local wildlife and those Selfie Shots!
During your stay, you will have complete access to the home and privacy as well.
If you have any questions or need anything I am available 24/7 however it is not mandatory that we meet. Most people just want privacy and of course a clean and comfortable stay. WE GIVE YOU THAT!
COME STAY AT THE 'KNOLL'. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

Fabulous Stay in Three Rivers for SEQ NP and KC
This home in Three Rivers was perfect for our 2-night stay for Sequoia/Kings Canyon. The home is located just a few short miles from Sequoia NP. It was fully stocked for everything we needed plus some. A welcome basket with snacks and wine were waiting for us upon arrival. The beds and sheets were extremely comfortable, the house was spotless and the views in the multiple sitting areas outside were gorgeous. I spend a lot of time reviewing possible rentals on VRBO by reading comments and checking locations and I highly recommend this home. Tip – We left Yosemite for our 2-nights at SEQ/KC and our Maps app took us to KC first. We decided to head to the house around 6pm from KC, and didn’t realize that we were actually 1.5 hours away from Three Rivers. The drive that our Map app took us was a very winding, narrow road. We were very thankful that we didn’t make this drive at night! The better route would have been KC through SEQ National Park then Three Rivers. The road would have still been very windy in parts but a better road. Had we known this, we would have put “Three Rivers, CA” in our map app from Yosemite then visited both parks from SEQ. I should have asked the host, Mark, his thoughts on this route beforehand and I’m sure he would have directed us better. Mark was extremely responsive in several aspects – letting us know before our arrival of the fire (didn’t affect our trip) and when the house was ready for check in. This was one of our favorite VRBO rentals to date!

Shady Knoll/Sequoia
Shady Knoll was a great place to stay when visiting Sequoia NP. Sitting on the deck or the front yard provided us with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. Our host was more than accommodating and provided us with everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better location during our visit. We would highly recommend!!

Sequoia Visit
Stayed at the cabin as part of a 3 week west coast trip with my family. The home was a great spot for us to relax after a day at Sequoia. Easy access to the park, and great communication with the owner. He provided good options on local spots to hit while we were there. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

We had a great stay at The Shady Knoll. The house had everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable and good to come home to after a long day of hiking and sight seeing. It is really cool to look out the back window at Moro Rock and know we went to the top! Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Big trees and the great outdoors!
We enjoyed staying at the Shady Knoll as it was the perfect base for visiting Sequioa National Park and provided us with a very relaxing place to start and end the day. We especially enjoyed the various outdoor sitting areas around the property with terrific views in all directions. The local shops and restaurants are also recommended, especially those with areas to sit by the river. Mark was an excellent host and provided information and help to us beyond our expectations without any delay. Recommended!

Really nice property overlooking all of Three Rivers. Mark provided laundry pods and other things like snacks, which was a really nice touch. We appreciated getting all of the information on restaurants and things to do ahead of time plus it was printed out for us when we got there. Wish we had stayed a second night.
