We hope you'll be joining us for our multi-day wedding extravaganza. Being a gateway town to a national park, Three Rivers has a wide variety of hospitality options. Here are our recommendations:
Some of you will be staying with us at the ranch itself. We are setting up some dorm-style beds in the barn. The accommodations there may be a bit rustic and we can’t promise you your own room, but it will be cozy and fun. Click here to see a sample "room." For our more outdoorsy friends, setting up tents on the grounds would also be a good option.
In terms of more civilized accommodations, we we have arranged to have the Sequoia River Dance Bed and Breakfast set aside for the weekend of the wedding. There are only a handful of rooms at the B&B and they go for $90-$120/night, beautifully accommodated and right on the river. You can call them at 559.561.4411. Tell them you’re coming for the Mosley/McInerney wedding.
We can also recommend several other reasonably priced places in town (a 10-15 minute drive from the ranch). Our first choice is the Lazy J Ranch Motel, which has individual cabins and a pool, phone: 559.561.4449. There is also a Comfort Inn nearby for those wanting a reputable national chain.
Reservations should be made soon, as most hotels in town fill up quickly this time of year.

And on the farm he had a cow...
On the invitations, you'll notice that Jen's dad, Don, is hosting the wedding on his farm. There are no expansive fields of wheat, but the farm consists of 30 acres of beautiful pastures, gardens, and rolling hills. Right now, the farm boasts a variety of domestic animals: four horses (including the newest edition to the Mosley family, Rose born in February), a small herd of cows (one is expecting and should deliver a calf soon), and a flock of chickens (including a small flock of chicks). From the farm, you can often see some wild animals as well, mostly birds like goldfinches and hummingbirds, some blackbirds and crows, and occasionally an owl or two. Small lizards and snakes are common. At night, the bats come out.
Travel to Three Rivers
To our friends and family from the East Coast, we recommend flying into LAX and renting a car to make the trip to Three Rivers. There are many direct flights from JFK and Newark on United and American.
The drive from LA to Three Rivers takes about 3.5 hours and you travel through some areas of questionable radio quality, so bring a book on tape or some music CDs too. Below are directions from LA to Three Rivers. They are also included with the invitations:
Take the I-405 North
(If you are flying into LAX, directions from rental car agencies to the 405 vary, so be sure to ask).
The I-405 becomes the I-5 after 27 miles.
Continue on the I-5 North for about 61 miles.
At that point, stay left to merge onto CA Highway 99 North.
Continue on CA 99 North for about 27 miles.
After Bakersfield, exit onto CA Highway 65 North (Towards Porterville/Sequoia Park) for about 50 miles.
At Lindsay, CA 65 makes a soft left and you’ll be driving west for about ¼ mile.
At the first stop light, make a right, onto Spruce Road.
Continue on Spruce Road for about 8 miles.
Turn right onto CA Highway 198.
Continue on CA 198 for about 18 miles.
Turn Right onto Old Three Rivers Road. It is the first right after the giant red steer and the bridge. Stay to the right.
Go ½ mile make right onto South Fork Drive.
Continue on South Fork Drive for about 4.7 miles.
Farm is on the left at the fork in the road.
We’ll put signs up in Three Rivers to guide you to the farm. The number for the house is with the invitation, or feel free to email us for it, but please note that there is little or no cell phone reception once you turn onto CA 198 and none at all at the farm.
Additionally, Google Maps provides pretty good (though slightly different) directions Click here for those.
