My girlfriend and I really enjoyed staying at the Cottonwood cabin! It was a nice cozy space and the scenery was sooo beautiful! I got to enjoy my breakfast on a big rock by the river and it was the perfect way to start my day. The restrooms were really nice and well kept! Overall it was a super comfortable lodging experience.

It was a great experience coming here! A lot to do around and a good price for what you get. While the two story cabin was just two beds, the best part was the grounds that you get.

Loved Allison's campsite - it was private, shaded by Sycamores and lined with Datura. Best of all it was just a short walk to the river. My favorite part was the huge rocky bottom that comes up to shape the river's edge, right near where Allison had chairs set up, and you're essentially able to sit in the river while it flows around you. It is exceptionally beautiful in the morning, especially while watching the Turkey Vultures roosting and sunning their wings, and the Acorn Woodpeckers flitting about. A couple reviews mentioned having loud neighbors, which I was worried about since I had forgotten earplugs -- but happy to report that it was a perfectly quiet, beautiful night. We were only able to camp 1 out of the 2 nights we reserved due to unfortunate rental car troubles, but Allison was responsive through text and has helped me out with a partial refund request, which I very much appreciate. Allison provided clear directions to the campsite, communicated expectations clearly, and was an overall gracious host. Would love to stay here again!

Beautiful location. Incredible natural beauty from the river to the hills. Only area for improvement is some clean-up of the site—just needs some care, but overall great.

Easy to locate, super convenient location near Three Rivers coffee shops and restaurants. We forgot a few items and had to drive back to the local market, 3 minute drive. The place itself was as pictured, very quiet and had the space to ourselves. The morning was lovely with the noise of the river.

Great site! The creek was absolutely beautiful. There were tons of birds there during the the summer. It's close to the entrance to Sequoia and to a small market if you forget something. I'd recommend bringing earplugs. We heard one of the neighbors in a fight one of the nights we were there, some of the language they were using was pretty graphic.

We loved tent camping here. We loved having access to the creek. It was so nice to swim and let our 2 kids play. The site felt private and tucked away. Definitely wish we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the creek even longer. It was close to some coffee and other little shop nearby in town.

The camp spot was amazing, secluded and right next to a perfect spot on the river. We had a great weekend there. The only thing to note is there is a neighbor who is very aggressive and was screaming swear words the whole weekend - maybe good to keep in mind if you're bringing kids.

Absolutely loved this site. Allison was communicative and clear as well as making herself available if needed. Super close to town. Felt safe and site was clean. Plenty of room. Loved the River used it a ton while we were there. Soaked in with nature , Turkey , quail, lizards, turkey vultures, woodpeckers all day and night … would absolutely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Sierra Ranch - Cabins & Tents

We loved our time here! The turtle flat site had plenty of flat space for our 10 person tent and was close enough to the river to hear it at night and see it by day. The beach was easily accessible and a great spot for our 3.5 yr old to play. The fully equipped kitchen made meal prep pleasant and easy. And the communal cooking and campfire was a good way to meet and talk to other guests. It was easy to walk to all the amenities and parking was relatively close to our site as well. We would come back and recommend to friends.
