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!

Spectacular views

We were greeted with a nice welcome gift which included a bottle of wine and various snacks. Views from the front and back yard sitting areas were beautiful. Great location for visiting the Sequoia National Park. The kitchen was well equipped and living areas comfortable. Only negative was the master bathroom needing a little TLC and some areas a bit more dusting.

A Welcoming Retreat

We stayed here with some friends over a long weekend. The home is beautifully arranged with several comfortable areas, inside and out, to enjoy the lovely views of the surrounding mountains. Our host had everything prepared for our stay along with several treats which we all enjoyed. Communication was prompt and helpful. Would absolutely love to come and stay again 10/10

Cute home away from home in the mountains

The Shady Knoll was the perfect place for my family of 4. It has everything you need, and the views are incredible. We felt right at home, my 2 little boys enjoyed seeing the wild turkey and quails visit. It's close to everything, Sequoia & Kingdñs Canyon National Parks, and the shops. I would definitely recommend!!

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 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.
