We had the good fortune to stay in the Kaweah Gem suite during our stay in Three Rivers; I never wanted to leave. The property is as described, only much better. It is beautiful and immaculate, reflecting the owners' care and attention to protecting the environment surrounding their property as well as the well-being of their guests. The views of the river are wonderful and the swimming even better. There are many places to sit and enjoy the view and the wonderful sound of the river rushing by - including inside your room. We particularly loved the shower with its views of the river and the small sitting areas along the walk to the swimming hole. I cannot recommend The River Jewel too highly. We would return any time - and we intend to soon.

Thank you so much for an amazing few days at your wonderful suite. The view is simply breathtaking! We spent so much of our time playing in the river. Saw so many hummingbirds and butterflies- a real treat. The suite was spotlessly clean and so comfy.

My husband and I were visiting from Michigan and planned on staying near the entrance to Sequoia National Park. This listing was four miles from the south entrance to the park, so we booked a two night stay, mostly for convenience. We had NO IDEA what a beautiful place this would prove to be and left far too soon! The suite was tastefully decorated and luxurious and we felt welcomed, relaxed and pampered. We were pleasantly surprised at what an excellent setting this was on the river and how large and secluded it was! This spot on the river is absolutely beautiful! Great care was taken by the owners to landscape many different areas along the riverbank for visitors to relax and enjoy a private and peaceful setting. Whether we were sitting in the river reading a book, sunbathing on the large rocks in the middle of the river or the comfy reclining chairs, or eating dinner on an umbrella table, we were blessed! The sound of the river, the glow of the fire in the "fire pit" and the twinkling of the stars was the perfect ending for days exploring Sequoia National Park. You know it's a great vacation when you find you have to pull yourself out of an awesome river to visit a beautiful mountain vista! I wish we had scheduled more time! The owners were pleasant to work with and were gifted in hospitality. I hope we have an another opportunity to visit someday. We would stay longer, for sure! What a blessing!

"Nature Done In Style"
Review submitted: January 21, 2012 Date of arrival: July 10, 2011
Nature done in style is how Yvonne described it. Every setting you have here is so romantic and secluded. We felt like each was a different scene from a cialis commercial. The beauty, serenity, and romance of this place truely makes it "The River Jewel".

Got engaged on the beach across the river
Review submitted: January 21, 2012 Date of arrival: September 2, 2011
What an amazing place! Got engaged on the beach across the river- perfect start to a perfect weekend. Drank wine by the fire, grilled dinner, coffee in the sun chairs, swam in the river and laid out on the rocks. Celebrated our engagement with $100 bottle of wine and hot dogs on the grill. :) This will always nbe a special place for us. Thank you so much.

Like being in the middle of an Ansel Adams photo!
Review submitted: January 21, 2012 Date of arrival: October 14, 2011
A gem indeed...the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. We loved it so much and are already planning our next visit.
We were fortunate enough to have a full moon during our visit. We sat on a boulder in the middle of the river and basked in the moonlight. It was like being in the middle of an Ansel Adams photograph- breathtaking.
Also, after a long hike amongst the giant Sequoias we looked forward to coming back to relax by the river at The River Jewel. Thanks so much!

To summarize: We wish we would have booked more days! Such a beautiful guest suite and surrounding. We swam in the river during the day and did stargazing at night. Thank you for your gracious hospitality and the nice stay!

Relaxing
Review submitted: January 21, 2012 Date of arrival: June 29, 2011
My wife and I stayed two nights at the River Jewel on our honeymoon. The location could not have been better. The property backs up to an amazing river view and was only 3 miles from Sequoia National Park. The property itself was very well kept with clean linens, spacious rooms, an awesome two-person shower with a view of the river, and an outdoor fire pit. Diana was extremely nice and accommodating; we did not get in until very late due to road construction but she was willing to wait an check us in. She provided us with some fresh fruit for breakfast and bikes to get around town. We were in a rush to get to the airport the morning we left and accidentally forgot a few items. Diana promptly shipped the items to us. Overall we had an incredible experience.

Anniversary Bliss
Review submitted: January 21, 2012 Date of arrival: June 17, 2011
We knew the anniversary of our 40th year of marriage would occur during our trip to California and we dreamed of celebrating this anniversary at a secluded cottage in a beautiful natural setting. God has guided us throughout our marriage and we are convinced that He led us to this unique "River Jewel."
We loved the light-filled cottage, the noisy creek, the golden mountains and the private evenings under the stars . . . a perfect setting for privately celebrating a loving and lasting marriage of 40 years. This has been a dream come true and one we will never forget.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the River Jewel during our trip to Sequoia National Park. The location was fantastic, very convenient to the entrance of the Park. Tucked away, it was the perfect escape after a few long days of hiking in the park. The best part was the Keawah River, right in the "backyard". The place was clean, comfortable, and our hosts were very helpful with anything we needed. I only wish we could have stayed a few extra days to take advantage of the beautiful scenery that the place itself offered. We hope to return very soon! Thank you, River Jewel!

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE-BETTER THAN THERAPY!!*

My friends and I decided on this hidden beauty place they call "Three Rivers" and came across "the River Jewel" as our lodging resort as it was recommended to me by a couple of my colleagues. The entire experience was fantastic and we loved every minute. THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY.*
It is the most luxurious spot to stay in Three Rivers yet has a "cabin in the woods" feel. We were able to fish at our lodge. Fifteen steps away from our room was the river and beautiful waterfalls. We went on hikes to "Morro rock" and "crystal cave." We also lounged and BBQ'd at our lodge and picked fresh grapes and blackberries by the water. We even called office and asked for butter as we forgot it after barbecuing and they brought it to us.
Our hosts went above and beyond to accommodate us. They provided us with snacks, bicycles to ride and secret "hot spots" ideas to see tourists always miss. Room was immaculate and we were pleased with all aspects of this decision. We only stayed two nights but left feeling exhilarated BETTER THAN THERAPY. All three of us agreed our sleep even felt like "REM."
We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful vacation or merely a romantic one weekend getaway. It took us less than a three hour drive from LA.
