We had a five night stay with our grown children and our grandchildren, wish it could have been longer. Great place for a family gathering. We cooked/made all our meals in, good kitchen & had everything needed. The house and views are amazing, proximity to the river for cooling off was perfect as was quick access to the National Forest. Only reason for knocking a point off of cleanliness was due to a technical problem we learned the housekeepers and owner were already on; owner was very responsive. If we get the opportunity we will happily return.

Overall our stay was positive. The location is outstanding. Close to the park entrance. Right on the river. Turkeys both mornings. Plenty of beds. The issue we had was that there was a miscommunication between management and cleaning crew. We checked into an unclean house and had to spend our first evening cleaning and doing laundry. Our first evening of two was pretty much wasted. After we got things cleaned up our stay was great. The cleaning lady came by and was super nice and sorry that we were subject to an uncleaned house at check in. The host did refund us the cleaning fee but I didn’t feel that just a cleaning fee reimbursement was enough. If it was my place I would have reimbursed at least half if not all of the first day. Oh well.

It's an older house with lots of character. We did get barked at by the neighbor dogs every time we went outside but we had wild turkeys and deer visit, so it made up for it. The constant sound of the river was fantastic! Plenty of parking, enough space we weren't tripping over each other. Fridge is glitch, needs replaced and door doesn't open all the way so drawer space is limited. Door shelves are breaking or missing barrier bars. Doesn't like to stay closed. We are an old and large family, the stairways were a bit steep and narrow but we just had to take them slow. Kudos to the 1/2 bath right by the front door! We had a great weekend with family up in the mountains with great views. A fun place to stay for a few days

The White Castle is a great house with an amazing view. It was everything we hoped it would be.

We had a wonderful and comfortable week. The river was a blast with the grandkids. Close to the Sequoia park entrance.

Such a great property! The view is to die for and the location near the national park was fantastic. Getting to the swimming hole is a little treacherous but totally worth it. Bring a ripe and you can lower stuff down then get yourself down. So appreciative of this property.

House did not meet expectation as it mention in the description. House supply was not met as it stated. Left us a small amount of dish soap didn’t last us for our 3 night stay. My family Ioves to cook the dish soap was gone the first day. We had to stop at the store to get more to last our stay. The breaker keeps triggering we can’t even use the ac wall unit or charged our phone in the third floor. It was so hot up there no one sleep in there until it was cooler in the evening. Wi-Fi totally sucks. Was not able to connect the tv to the Wi-Fi we went 4 days without Netflix or YouTube. My guest rather go sleep early. The bbq grill lit up in flame and burn my husband hand. They left a whole bowl of oil and a bowl of ashes inside the grill that was not dumped out so the oil lit up in flame. We had to clean it before even can use it. We came back from a day of hiking and found a ac tech waiting outside. We weren’t aware of it and weren’t notify that someone was coming. It was very disturbing. The washer and dryer take up over an hour to wash and dry 1 load of clothes and it dispense a small amount of water to wash the clothes under the large load. The water level was not even half and does not reach to the level of the clothes. Had to re wash my clothes when we got home. Was not able to get a hold of the host due to the poor Wi-Fi connection. Only connection I can get was on my way up to the top of the mountain where I can only get an amount of small cellular connection. The only thing I enjoy at this house was the view of the river. It was spectacular other then that I would not come back to this property or would not recommend.

Despite coming on winter season we were excited to wonder around the river. House was spacious enough for my family, enough beds, plenty of ventilation. Loved the view from each bedroom, kitchen, living room. It was just an amazing time.... will definitely visit again...

This is such a great house. Pictures and words do no justice. Very clean and extremely well stocked. Plenty of linens, dishes and books. Crockpot, rice maker and coffee pot available. Keep in mind there are 3 flights of stairs. Main floor is the living/kitchen/dining/half bath area. Top floor Master bdrm and bottom floor are 3 bdrm's and full bath. Plenty of space outside to relax and admire the river. A short but steep walk down to the swimming/fishing hole. We did catch 1 fish. Close to markets and Sequoia yet far from the busy city. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Tennison!

Nice and big house. Great to rent to explore Sequoia National Park.

excellent view of the mountains and beautiful river

We had a large group of our family staying there and everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed the location of this home. The convenience of being right outside the park was great. We enjoyed playing in the river with the days being so hot. The house was clean snd well stocked. Thank me owner was responsive and accommodating. If we come back to the area we definitely would rent this house again!

House was nice enough. Cleanliness was not up to par. AC filters have long been overlooked. No new filters on site. Would not recommend for young children because of dangerous drop off on back of property. We didn’t have young children with us so we weren’t concerned. Private swimming hole was nice. A bit of a hike to get to. Neighbor is obviously not a fan of this home being rented as a vrbo and voiced his opinion on the subject. He made it very clear where we were allowed to swim ect. We didn’t hang out in yard as not to upset neighbor. Plenty of sleeping space for our 12 guest. Overall it’s a nice place to stay for a few days. Homeowner refunded us $100 for filthy ac filters. (With Covid concerns I’d change them after each guest for sure) Beautiful view from home. But if your family likes to hang outside like we do, this would not be the ideal home for that.

Stayed with four families and all of our children. Everyone had a balcony they loved for coffee in the morning or drinks in the evening. The children loved being right next to the river. The house was stocked better than any VRBO I’ve ever stayed at. Dish soap, hygiene products, toilet paper. I was shocked. There was coffee & creamer and extra bedding. If you’re taking a large group into Sequoia this is definitely the house for you.

Family reunion with our daughter/family and our son/family (11 of us total). The house was perfect with plenty of room. The views from each window were breath-takingly beautiful! We all loved the architecture and colorful tiles in the bathrooms. The downstairs bath was great as the make-up table, toilet and shower were separate allowing the use of 3 individuals to use independently. The only negative was the difficulty of getting to the river. I have RA and couldn't descend the trail down but the other 10 members did and enjoyed cooling off after hiking in the Sequoia's at the end of the day. Thank you Tennison for sharing your home with us and always responding quickly to our questions!

Everything was perfect alot of room and everything was clean just as described. Check in was easy will stay again forsure. Only one small issue the wifi was really slow but maybe it was due to the location.

Honestly, five nights were just not enough here. I drove away (with literal tears in my eyes) wishing I had booked for at least another two. Waking up to the sunrise over the mountains and the river every morning was just breathtaking. The location was great, with lots of little shops and restaurants just minutes down the road. We all thoroughly enjoyed the private swimming hole. It is a little steep to get down to, but we got used to it pretty quickly. Overall, I don't think we could've found a better place to stay! The house had everything we needed to feel at home away from home, and Tennison was very responsive any time we had questions leading up to our stay! 10/10!

My family and I stayed here for a few days on vacation to visit sequoia National park. The place was beautiful and we loved being near the river. We cannot wait to make this an annual vacation

Beautiful views, wonderful private swimming hole on the Kaweah. If you want to swim in the river check runoff forecasts. This year May flows are low, but that's not typically the case.

Overall our stay was great! House was beautiful and had everything you needed. Neighbors are very close and slightly rude, the Guy was screaming at some people who were clearly trespassing by the River which I get but he started yelling at us since we were on the kitchen balcony to follow the rules in the book. My husband had to yell back and tell him they are not our guests and no reason to be rude or yell. There are very strict rules on the areas of the river that you can and cannot go to which we clearly understood and followed. Other than that lil mishap it was a great stay and we would definitely return. Thank you for sharing your home!

Awesome!

We got there at 3pm , and i was told that check in was at 4pm, although email said at 3pm. Neighboor to the left of the house was always screaming at us, and we werent not been loud at all, overall the whole family enjoied it and we coming back in the summer!!!!!!

It was our third time renting the White Castle. It was a delight as always. It is such a special place. Thank you.

Can’t beat the location. We had so much fun swimming and fishing. Such a great VRBO.

This house was great for our group of 11 year old boys...they loved fishing, exploring and hanging out! We had 11 boys and didn’t feel crowded in there!

We had a big group and there was lots of space to spread out. Tennison, the owner replied to emails or returned calls to answer any questions quickly. The swimming hole was enjoyable for teenagers. Lots of parking but dark at night as there wasn't an outside light. Overall a very reasonable large house to stay.

This home was exactly what we were looking for. We were able to enjoy well needed family time and had enough room to feel comfortable and fit everyone. The views are amazing and it is so close to the park! Such a great location.

This has become our family yearly vacation house. We are always so happy coming here because the house feels like home. It’s always clean and it literally has everything you need. The house is perfect and the views from literally every room are speechless. We’ve made amazing memories in this house can’t wait to go back already.

Location that cannot be beaten. Amazing views. Fun house. It’s the second time our family has stayed and we’ll be back!

There are ants in the upstairs & downstairs bathroom Also a really dirty pot left in the pantry that we had to clean before we used it The house was dirty & not cleaned well in quite some time There is mold in the downstairs bathroom around the tub & on the ceiling The views & location were really great though

We all had a great time!!! Great location

Enjoyed a our stay! Great location on the river and close to Seqouiah National Park. Property is good for large family; we had 8 and we were very comfortable. Needs a little attention to cleanliness. Older property and it is showing its age.
