August 13, 2015 After a long and boring drive from San Francisco we arrived to find an oasis of beauty, peace and relaxation! The constant rushing of the water was so relaxing and meditative.! We all looked forward to returning home after our long, hot days of expolring the Sequioa National Park. Thank you for making the home and property so lovely and inviting. Maria and Fred were so helpful and such wonderful cooks. We enjoyed the lovely Mexican meal made by Maria on our last evening here. We hope to visit this paradise again… The Sudols and Hollands from Pittsburgh, PA and Frisco, CO (#228 house guests) My favorite part was the creek and pretty house! Adela, age 10 I really enjoyed the watering hole up stream, the nat. park, Moro Rock and the General Sherman. But my favorite part was the spending time with my family by the fire and the river. But mostly the house was the best! Konrad, age 11

To Chris & Charles, You two have created an oasis of curated charm and profound peace. We learned how to “Survive in the Woods,” i.e. one should come to Kaweah Falls. Every little thing has been carefully provided, and we treated it like home. We celebrated a birthday here with wine from Paso Robles and ate excellent skinny pork chops from Village Mkt. with garlic & chiles and crisped on the grill. There seemed to real need to leave the property -- except for our excursion up to General Sherman's tree. We didn’t build a fire - at this time of year - but can imagine returning in the fall to do so. The River: Well, we have a profound new appreciation for the preciousness of our water here in the Great State of California. Swimming and wading and splashing and boulder-hopping were, hands-down, the highlights of an excellent week! Thank you for sharing! Binns Party PS Don't miss the wonderful farm stand, called Sequoia, on the road up to Three Rivers, after leaving Visalia and just when it begins to wind up into the foothills. It's on the right.

I have stayed at quite a few "trophy" properties through VRBO,but this was our favorite. Its rare that something exceeds ones imagination but this home did and much more. Upon entering the locked gate and walking down the stairs you are greeted by lush vegetation and the wonderful song of the Kaweah River. Our party consisted of 4 adult couples. All of us were treated to nicely appointed rooms with good beds and private bath facilities. The outdoor "rooms" are incredible and having an open pit fireplace next to the river was our favorite. As the sun set and the temp dropped, it made for a terrific spot to gather after dinner and reflect on the days events. Chris Keller,our host,has compiled a comprehensive assortment of extras on the property to insure our comfort. His communications are quick and sensitive to the varied needs of his guests.

This was one of the most relaxing vacations we've ever had. This property is so unique it has to be seen to be believed especially if you're a Frank Lloyd Wright fan. There were so many intimate places to relax on your own or join the others in your party in the wonderful common areas. Everything is as advertised and more. The owners' suggestions in emails and in the guest book are spot on. Our highlights were the bear sightings in the Park but the river deck in early AM for coffee and evenings for relaxing after the day's activities was the BEST! We cooked in most nights and the kitchen has everything you need. Thanks for opening your home. The Getz Family

June 20, 2015 From the moment we arrived we were in awww! Style, grace, nature and warmth embraced us and memories were forged from the moment we stepped foot on this amazing property. Sequoias, the river, every hidden chair of solace…we enjoyed them all. We leave enriched and renewed and can’t wait to return. Thank you for sharing this home with us!! All the best, The Combs Family

June 2015 What an incredibly beautiful place to stay. The river was so wonderful and restful. The house was amazing from the architecture to the decor. The appointments were perfect and very objet d’art unique and beautiful. It’s like another world being here, and you have thought of every possible need for people who are away from home. Thank you for such a great experience. I will remember the “river house” for the rest of my life. Barbara Barrett Evansville, Indiana Tuesday, June 7th, 2015 Had a great time in the home and in the apartment downstairs. Swimming in the river and warming up by the fire pit was a blast. Also, hid a million dollars worth of gold in the house. Good luck finding it! Annie Engelbrecht (16 years old) & Jayda Alexander P.S. We saw a bear! June, 2015 Everything was so beautiful! The people in town, the trees, the bears - all very friendly. Thanks for helping us have a great vacation. Dan Engelbrecht June 3-7, 2015 Truly Paradise! We look forward to coming back. Nancy Engelbrecht Evansville, Indiana

My absolutely wonderful wife, Danielle, brought me here for my 50th birthday. And while I know I sound like a 12 year saying this, this is the coolest play ever!!! The house is stunning!! The decorating is magnificent!! The landscaping is stupendous!! Oh, and the river is mesmerizingly beautiful!! I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to spend time here. Thank you so much for sharing!! ✌️Daniel Thompson (50 yrs old - going on 12) (PS. - We saw 21 bears & hiked 50+ miles in SequoiaNP!!) (PSS. Thanks to Maria for the delicious muffins!)

It was hard saying goodbye to this beautiful place. You definitely do not get views like this in Texas. Our group was so grateful to experience the Sequoia National Forest and the beautiful state of CALIFORNIA! We saw bears, climbed to the top of the hump on the Lakes Trail, and TRAVIS PROPOSED to Amanda at 9200 ft! She said YESS!! �� This trip was one to remember FOREVER! We will be BACK! See you soon! Sincerely, The Triola family & Mayes family

May 23rd - Really - it’s time to leave already?? How is it possible that (8) days have passed since we walked in the door again (guests #157 - #184 & now!!) Your home never disappoints the huge expectations we look forward to all season long, knowing it’s just a few short months till we are welcomed back. This stay was just as inspiring & relaxing, and this time we actually got into serious walking & hiking (not bad for two seniors…). Thank you Chris & Charles for sharing your oasis with us. And, of course, the stay was only enhanced with the care & affection of sweet Maria & awesome Fred - you guys perform magic and it is so appreciated. This trip was even more special. Sharing times w/our kids here - showing off the house as if it was our very own - that’s how we feel as soon as we walk into the grounds. Can’t wait to come back & re-charge. We don’t forget for a minute how lucky & privileged we are to spend time at this magnificent slice of heaven - Peace - love XOXO Susan & Philip

April 27th It’s time to say goodbye to our “happy place” once again. Each visit brings us more joy than the last. Such a spectacular get-away from the hustle and bustle of socal. We shall return! Thanks as always, to Chris, Fred and Maria. XOXO The Currens ❤️

Thank you Chris for sharing your exceptional home with us and the Bow Wows. From the moment we arrived and Fred welcomed us, the transformation began. Before we descended the stairs we could hear the sound of rushing water and the anticipation of something wonderful waiting below did not disappoint. I had read the complimentary reviews before we arrived but no one could describe your retreat beffitingly. The setting on the river, the feng shui of the house, the perfect weather all combined to fulfill the soul. We live at the ocean and that too has wonderful qualities, but we thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful oasis you have created in Three Rivers. We thank you for sharing and our puppies thank you for the BEST vacation ever! We don't want to leave but just the thought of returning makes it easier. We are hoping to do just that this coming fall AND next spring.

We loved the house and grounds! Our group utilized all it had to offer and cooked on the BBQ, had bonfires, fished the stream and played horseshoes on the sand! There was something for everyone. We plan to return next year - thanks for a wonderful holiday! Abate & Flores Family April 10-15, 2015
