This gem is worth it. Old 1929 cabin resort with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly service. And the food is wonderful. Carne Asada fries are delish and the portion is mountain size. Quinoa salad tasty with some zing - if you like tahini this is for you.

What a beautiful hidden gem Bed & Breakfast! I want to start out saying, thank you Lisa and Alan…read morefor your amazing hospitality. You made our little vacation a memorable one. Coming from Houston and visiting our friends in LA, we wanted to look for a nice homey place to rest after visiting Sequoia. Lisa, you are also an amazing baker and chef! We really loved our breakfast and were amazed by it. Each bite was always a Wow! My most favorite was the peach pastry and the espresso cake! We really enjoyed talking to Alan and learning more the history of the house. And of course we got to meet the head of security, Mr. Cooper! You should give him a raise haha Overall, all four of us loved our time here. We even bought the mug to remember The Parks Inn. Forget any other hotels or places to stay in the area, we will stay here in a heart beat every time! You will see us again in our next visit to Sequoia/Kings Canyon NP!

We decided at the last moment to take a trip to Sequoia for the holiday weekend. Fortunately, I was…read moreable to quickly book a room at The Parks Inn Bed & Breakfast, despite the area being very busy. It was a fast and easy process! We found the inn very lovely and quiet. The beautiful surroundings and the inn had a charming, vintage, and cozy touch that made us excited to stay. The owner greeted us warmly, and we appreciated the hospitality after driving all day from San Diego. The room was beautifully decorated, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We were able to take an evening swim before settling down for the night. When we woke up, we had breakfast right outside our room in a lovely setup with a garden atmosphere. I appreciated that they accommodated my diet and were more than happy to substitute food options to make me feel welcome. My husband and I decided right then and there that we'd be back for another stay and hopefully a longer one. I'd definitely recommend this place for a nice getaway from the city to relax and unwind. Thank you!

We stayed here during out last trip to Sequoia National Park. The property is just beautiful, and…read morebeing close to the river is nothing short of spectacular. The River Jewel is truly a gem. Our party reserved the Sequoia Charmed and Kaweah Gem Suites during our visit. I loved that each suite was walking distance to the river and that were lots of places to sit and relax on the way there. I stayed in the Sequoia Charmed Suite. There was a tiny balcony that overlooked the river. The outdoor kitchen was great. There were bikes to borrow, and there was even a ping pong table. The suite was adorable with a tiny kitchenette and a large pullout sofa. We really liked these beautiful suites. The owner, Diana, was thoughtful, and the suites were big, beautiful, and really relaxing. For our next stay in Three Rivers, I would love to stay at this lovely property again.

Our 2nd visit to River Jewel suites confirmed we'll be returning year after year! Hosts Diana &…read moreLarry have thought of everything! Our suite, The Kaweah Gem, was fully stocked with luxury towels; mini fridge, coffee maker & rapid heating electric water kettle for tea, hot chocolate, etc. Bedding was luxurious & comfortable! Shared outdoor kitchen had everything you could imagine & we were able to BBQ after a quick trip to the local grocery store. The privacy & river views are beyond special. On line pics don't reflect updates to the suite, teal carpet replaced with darker tile. Diana also accommodated our request to bring a masseuse on site for massages by the river. A gorgeous, tranquil setting & surely a destination for years to come!

My friends and I literally just came home from our amazing stay in the greatest cabin ever!!…read more The new owners Jeannie and Rich have really amazed me with how well maintained and stocked the kitchen is. The kitchen is so well stocked, it made cooking such a breeze. I was able to make chocolate soufflés in the kitchen (I just had to bring my own hand mixer and chocolate). Their kitchen appliances, pots, and pans were better than the ones I had at home! Even their gas grill outside looked like it wasn't even touched. The even got wifi, directv, and Netflix hooked up. It was nice having these options even though we didn't spend a lot of time using it. It even had ac in there! After you spend your afternoon walking up and down the river, it's nice to come inside in a well conditioned cabin. The cabin is off the main road but you don't hear too many cars. Especially if your hanging out in the back by the river. All you hear is the river. And plus it was very convenient to have the gas station, convenient stores, souvenir shops etc. just down the road. My friends and I had such a terrific weekend that we were so sad to leave back to the OC. We will definitely be back and recommend this quaint cabin to anyone. FYI: they told us that if your cell phone provider is AT&T you will have better service up there than any other provider. They still have a landline for you to use, which was nice. And don't forget to check out The Doll Nest in the area. It's a shop full of Russian Nesting Dolls and toys! How cute is that!

We love staying a little off the beaten path when road-tripping to national parks, especially…read moreplaces where we can cook and spread out. Traveling with three kids and a dog, we also need space and at least two bathrooms, and this place delivered for first visit to Sequoia/Kings Canyon. This location is closest to the Kings Canyon entrance, and the drive is beautiful. If you're visiting in winter, just be prepared. After December, the highway into the park can close due to weather -- this happened to us for a couple of days - snowed before followed rain. The alternate route is possible but very long. We stayed four days and had flexibility, but definitely bring chains if you're visiting in winter. The property has RV spots and rental homes. We stayed in a three-bedroom house with 2 baths with 5 people (and a small dog) for 5 days/4 nights for New Year's and had plenty of space. The home was comfortable, with a full kitchen and included a gas BBQ, dishes, and cookware. A few small things would make it even better: more kitchen utensils and serving plates/bowls, plus extra towels. We were a family of five with a dog visiting during very rainy weather, and towels went fast. It would also be more convenient if the washer/dryer were in the unit instead of shared at the office/library. Important tip: bring all your food and drinks with you. There is no store or grocery nearby, and this is not a "pick it up down the road" situation. The closest grocery stores are in Woodlake or Visalia, about a 45-minute drive EACH WAY. Bee stopped in Visalia on the way in at Winco to buy food. The internet was surprisingly excellent -- fast and reliable. We also loved the wildlife around the property. We saw lots of animals, but especially enjoyed the friendly cats that stopped by and the silly quails wandering around. Overall, this is a peaceful, family- and dog-friendly place with a lot of character. If you're looking for a quiet home base near Kings Canyon and Sequoia and don't mind being remote, we'd definitely recommend it and would stay here again.
