3 Br Cottage Vacation Rental In Three Rivers, California

Welcome to Pinecone Cottage — your peaceful Sequoia getaway for family adventures, group trips, and relaxing mountain escapes. Just 6.2 miles from Sequoia National Park, guests love the spacious layout, quiet wildlife-filled setting, walkable access to town, and the arcade and Super NES games. After a day of adventure, come home and enjoy shared pool access, relax on the serene back deck, and unwind with fresh mountain air and comfortable gathering spaces perfect for making lasting memories.

Pinecone Cottage sleeps up to 8 guests across three bedrooms and two separate living areas — giving families and groups plenty of room to spread out without ever feeling on top of each other. Two king bedrooms, a queen bedroom, and a full sofa bed mean everyone has a comfortable place to land after a long day at the park.

After a day among the world's largest trees, come home to something unexpected: a real arcade. Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat, a Super Nintendo stocked with every classic ever made — the kind of setup that turns a quiet evening into the highlight of the trip. Guests of all ages consistently call it their favorite surprise.

Sleeping is comfortable for the whole group — two king bedrooms, a queen bedroom, and a full sofa bed in the second living area, accommodating up to 8 guests. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook a real meal, plus a Keurig Duo for single cups or full pots depending on your morning mood. Free WiFi and Sling TV streaming on all TVs keep everyone connected and entertained indoors.

At just 6.2 miles from the Sequoia National Park entrance, you are perfectly positioned for day trips among the world's largest trees, scenic drives through the Sierra Nevada foothills, and all the hiking and exploration the region has to offer. After a day on the trails, cool off in the seasonal pool — typically available May through September — or make the short drive to Kaweah River access at Cobble Knoll and Slick Rock for swimming and riverside relaxation. When dinner calls, the local town is an easy walk from the property with several dining options to choose from.

Come home to the serene back deck and let the fresh mountain air do its work. The quiet, wildlife-filled setting makes it easy to slow down between adventures — whether that's morning coffee outside with the sounds of nature, an evening gathered around the living room, or a lazy afternoon by the pool. The home's shared pool access and comfortable gathering spaces are designed for exactly the kind of trip where everyone leaves feeling genuinely rested.

All freshly laundered linens, towels, pillows, quilts, and blankets are provided. Starter supplies are stocked including dish soap, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper towels, trash bags, spices, and basic cooking supplies — everything you need to settle in without a grocery run.
