Chic Historic Cottage in the Heart of 3 Rivers - voted Best Vacation Rental 2015

Maile's Cottage is an historic landmark in the quaint township of Three Rivers. Maile's Cottage affords you incredible accessibility to the main entrance to Sequoia National Park, just a 10 minute drive. Plus, you have the convenience of being able to walk to local restaurants and stores including a coffee shop, frozen yogurt shop, Sierra Subs, the Ol Buckaroo, Three Rivers Brewery, and a local market all just a stone's throw away. And - you are welcome to bring your family dog with you on your vacation.

The owners have lovingly restored and upgraded this charming cottage to provide modern amenities and conveniences while maintaining the original architectural integrity. You will be delighted with the stylish uncluttered interiors and carefully selected vintage furniture and chic decor, all created by a professional Interior Designer whose specialty is boutique hotels.

The spacious living room has an original iron stove and wood burning fireplace, comfortable leather sofas, large flat screen with Blu Ray player and internet for downloading movies and accessing Netflix (not connected to cable or satellite). You will need to bring your password. There is also a large selection of DVD's. The kitchen overlooking the private rear garden features granite counter tops, farm sink, and quality appliances. Adjoining the kitchen is a dining room with vintage wood dining table and seating for up to 6 people. There is also a bright and sunny breakfast area with large sliding glass doors opening onto the rear garden.

The outdoor living environment is equally enchanting. Relax or dine in the large private rear garden which features a gas BBQ and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy al fresco dining. Sip a glass of wine under the old olive tree in the front courtyard while watching the sun set beyond the peaks of the Sierra foothills.

Accommodations on the ground floor comprise a master suite with a king size bed, large closet, and glass sliding doors opening onto a private patio. The modern master bathroom has twin vanities, a toilet, and a walk-in shower with river pebble floor.

The other ground level bedroom features a Tempur-Pedic King bed and closet.

A family bathroom downstairs features a pedestal vanity, toilet and shower bath combination.

Upstairs is a huge bedroom with a queen size bed, a full size bed, and a twin bed. Because it can get pretty warm up there, we provide a portable A/C unit (in addition to the whole house A/C unit) to keep the entire loft nice and comfortable during the summer months.
For your comfort Maile's Cottage offers central air conditioning and heating.

The experience of staying in a super chic historic cottage while enjoying one of America's great national parks will make for a vacation you will never forget.

The house was super cute, comfortable and well appointed. It is centrally located in Three Rivers steps away from the shops, restaurants and local brewery and minutes away from Sequoia National Park. It's also pet friendly and has a large, fenced yard. We had a blast and will be recommending to friends and family.

Had a great 3 night stay for our family of 5. Upstairs sleeping area was great for the kids, loved the movie selection for a family movie night after a day in the National parks and my kids loved playing in and around the house. Highly recommend for any family looking for housing.

This cottage was the perfect place for our family to stay during our visit of the Sequoia and Kings Canyons parks. The yard is fully enclosed and was perfect to let our dog run around. Sequoia entrance is just 10 min drive away. Three rivers is a small town and we could walk to the coffee shop, restaurant and convenience store. We really enjoyed the food at every place we visited. The cottage is clean and comfortable. We would stay here again!

Maile's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay for our short trip to Sequioa National Park. It was a great location just outside the gates, and near lots of restaurants. We ever went swimming in the river a few miles away at the Slippery Rock State Park. Given the heat, the AC was a blessing, and kept us cool ever in temperatures over 106 degrees outside.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Miele's cottage during our visit to Sequoia National Park. The cottage is very well appointed, and Robin's attention to detail is unmistakable. This is a vintage home with cosy comfort not too far from Sequoia National Park.

The property was nice and roomy and clean. Robin the property manager was very helpful and had everything ready for us and check in. The location works well for going into Sequoia national park.

The property could not have been any better. It was very ample, but we limited our stay to certain rooms as there were only 3 of us. The surroundings were nice and very peaceful. We were out for most of the day visiting the neighboring national parks but while at the property, it could not have been any better.

This place was the perfect place for us while we explored sequoia national park, kings canyon and the surrounding areas. Cozy, comfortable house with space for my family of four to hang out together or have Our own space. It is also conveniently within walking distance to many restaurants and stores. We will definitely consider this place the next time we are in the area.
