Kaweah Chakra - THREE RIVERS

I 'll start with the positives. The rooms are very clean and the setting is lovely. However, the website and description are incredibly misleading. This is not a spa. It is not a resort. It is definitely not a yoga retreat. I don 't believe it is worth the price. My husband and I stayed for 2 nights as a base camp for seeing the Sequoia National Park. We had read prior reviews of an idea day starting with yoga/meditation, hiking, a chef prepared vegan dinner and evening massage. This does NOT exist. We arrived to find an empty house. There was no one there to greet us or check us in. After multiple phone calls to every number we could find and at least 45 minutes, we received a call back saying someone would meet us. The person that did finally meet us, 2 hours later, seemed thrown in with no knowledge whatsoever of the amenities. He used a key to open various rooms (which were all occupied) in an attempt to find ours. Finally he found an empty room and stated that this will be ours. He was unable to provide us with any other information. I happen to have found the wireless password in an office otherwise we would have been out of luck. The next morning there was still no one around making breakfast so we took off to the parks. Again, no one around in the evening. To summarize a long post. This is a B&B. The beds are clean. The breakfast is served at 9 so don 't expect to eat and get an early start to the parks (which I would recommend to beat the crowds). Very misleading previous reviews and website. Very disappointed.

Kaweah Chakra is a hidden gem in Three Rivers, CA. It's truly a wonderful place that will leave you so well rested you will want to plan your next trip before you leave. I highly recommend staying here, it includes breakfast and never ending views. If you can't stay here (I don't know why you wouldn't you can also contact them about arranging for a dinner (reservations required since it's probably only your party at the dinner table . Chef Lori cooks farm to table she uses high quality ingredients that are in season. The staff are amazing Shari the Innkeeper will make sure that you get everything that you want out of your stay. The Chef Lori will treat you like royalty catering to all of your food preferences and allergies. I planned a trip for my husband's birthday. I wanted it to be special and Shari and Lori hit it out of the park for us. We were upgraded to the Raj Suite (has it's own personal steam room our favorite . Also has a soaking tub and gorgeous views of the river and mountains. We also arranged for all meals to be catered by Lori, she exceeded our expectations! I was expecting yummy food but this was mouthwatering memorable can't wait for my next meal kind of food. If you want a perfect magical day like we had during our stay it can look like this: We woke up to do a yoga/meditation session that Shari led for us. It was so refreshing and relaxing. Followed by a delicious breakfast made by Chef Lori. Chef Lori packed a picnic lunch/snacks for us to take into the Sequoia National Park with us (soo good! . Came home after a little hiking/visit to General Sherman Tree...including snow covered mountain tops (a must relaxed in our steam room before dinner. Dinner time with Chef Lori preparing another tasty meal...taking our first 2 courses pre massage. Massages by the fireplace in the living room, followed by entree/dessert before we tucked in for bed. Seriously terrific place, you definitely need to check out!
