Chic Historic Cottage in the Heart of 3 Rivers - voted Best Vacation Rental 2015

Maile's Cottage is an historic landmark in the quaint township of Three Rivers. Maile's Cottage affords you incredible accessibility to the main entrance to Sequoia National Park, just a 10 minute drive. Plus, you have the convenience of being able to walk to local restaurants and stores including a coffee shop, frozen yogurt shop, Sierra Subs, Three Rivers Brewery, and a local market all just a stone's throw away. And - you are welcome to bring your family dog with you on your vacation.

The owners have lovingly restored and upgraded this charming cottage to provide modern amenities and conveniences while maintaining the original architectural integrity. You will be delighted with the stylish uncluttered interiors and carefully selected vintage furniture and chic decor, all created by a professional Interior Designer whose specialty is boutique hotels.

The spacious living room has an original iron stove and wood burning fireplace, comfortable leather sofas, large flat screen with Blu Ray player and internet for downloading movies and accessing Netflix (not connected to cable or satellite). You will need to bring your password. There is also a large selection of DVD's. The kitchen overlooking the private rear garden features granite counter tops, farm sink, and quality appliances. Adjoining the kitchen is a dining room with vintage wood dining table and seating for up to 6 people. There is also a bright and sunny breakfast area with large sliding glass doors opening onto the rear garden.

The outdoor living environment is equally enchanting. Relax or dine in the large private rear garden which features a gas BBQ and plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy al fresco dining. Sip a glass of wine under the old olive tree in the front courtyard while watching the sun set beyond the peaks of the Sierra foothills.

Accommodations on the ground floor comprise a master suite with a king size bed, large closet, and glass sliding doors opening onto a private patio. The modern master bathroom has twin vanities, a toilet, and a walk-in shower with river pebble floor.

The other ground level bedroom features a brand new King bed and closet.

A family bathroom downstairs features a pedestal vanity, toilet and shower bath combination.

Upstairs is a huge loft-style bedroom with a queen size bed, a full size bed, and a twin bed. Because it can get pretty warm up there, we have installed (Aug 2025) a ductless mini split which affords quiet and efficient cooling. This is in addition to the whole house
central air conditioning and heating.

The experience of staying in a super chic historic cottage while enjoying one of America's great national parks will make for a vacation you will never forget.
