"River Retreat House" - River With Two Decks, BBQ, Firepit🔥, near Sequoia Park

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time here! Family loved the place. The PacMan arcade game was a nice touch to add a little entertainment for my 8 year old daughter. Wild life was abundant. Met what I would say is the neighborhood male deer. Came to visit a couple mornings. Also saw foxes, racoons, and turkeys driving in. Depended on the time of day. Daughter also liked relaxing on the rocks next to the river. Could imagine us going back. Its off the beaten path but thats what we were looking for. Beds were comfy too. Days were extremely hot when there but fortunately had AC. There was power outage one day but fortunately we had plans going to Sequoia which is a lot cooler. Slick Rock recreation area is also nearby which was a hit as well"

10/10 Excellent
"A 10/10 experience from start to finish. Was one of those places that somehow exceeds the photos, and we left already talking about when we could come back. The highlight for us was swimming in the freshwater canyons nearby, genuinely one of the most fun afternoons we’ve had on any trip. Cool, clear water, gorgeous scenery, and the kind of thing you just don’t get at a typical hotel. We also saw a ton of wildlife around the property, which made every walk feel like a small adventure. Then at night the stars come out and it’s a whole other reason to be here. Very little light pollution, so you get that full sky you forget exists until you’re standing under it. The staff deserve a special mention. Warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help with anything — recommendations, directions, logistics. They made the whole stay feel effortless."

"The cabin was perfect for our family of 4. In the mornings we sat drinking coffee and saw deer, fox, and many birds. We spent our days exploring the national park and relaxed evenings at cabin. The river levels were very low but we still enjoyed taking a dip to cool off and just enjoyed sitting by the river. Great place to get away and relax while still having easy access to grocery store and restaurants."
