Welcome to our riverfront resort at the base of Sequoia National Park, in California's Sierra Nevada foothills. Our custom Riverhouse features three hotel rooms with outdoor decks facing the best stretch of river in Three Rivers. For a larger family or simply for more privacy, Rio's offsite Birdwatch Cottage offers river access and guest privileges at the main property's stunning beach. After a day of exploring and hiking Sequoia National Park, the river will be waiting for your return. Choose a spot to chill. Let nature do the rest.
Sequoia National Park, with its giant trees, rushing waterfalls and protected wildlife, is one of the prize treasures of the great American West. The park gate is just five miles north of Rio Sierra River Resort. You probably came here to explore the park, so grab your map and get out there. The adventure of a lifetime awaits. Under those 2000-year-old trees, you might discover what’s big, what’s not and what really matters.
Three Custom Rooms
A Cozy Private Nest
Awesome whitewater rafting is happening on the Kaweah River — one of America’s steepest, dropping 70 feet per mile before twisting through its crazy lower stretch. Guides offer family fun tours, mid-level rapids, and advanced thrill-seeker boating on Class III to Class IV+ rides. Full 10-mile exploits feature a riverbank picnic. Mountain bike trails, river fishing and horseback riding add to the good times. Have fun! Share pictures!
Adventure travel is tricky. We want to break out of our comfort zone, but want to relax too. We want to squeeze in every moment of fresh experience, but want to rest too. We want to get lost, but want to come home. This delicate balancing act is our mission at Rio Sierra, and why we’re not like most hotels. Our house is your home. No lobby, no greeters, no daily housekeeping. We set a comfy stage. You create the adventure. With a few groceries, you can snug in happily for days at a time on the river. Or venture out into town for yummy food, or to the park for hiking thrills. Two-night minimum booking. Adventure well, friends!
