Boasting barbecue facilities and views of quiet street, Kings River Reflections is a recently renovated homestay situated in Sanger, 33 km from Fresno Convention Center. This property offers access to a patio, a pool table, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests can make use of the outdoor fireplace or the terrace, or enjoy views of the river and garden. We could not have asked for better hosts. Teresa and Tim were so kind and generous, and their house was gorgeous. Teresa made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed when we got to the house, and Tim cooked up an amazing breakfast the next morning (we were lucky - breakfast is only available if they have the time to make it!). If you're visiting the Kings Canyon and Sequoia parks, there is no better place to stay.
