Good location, friendly staff, I enjoy fresh cup of coffee and they seen to have it days and night. The bathroom is outdated but they come with safety mat. We stayed in the first floor and we can hear footsteps from 2nd floor plus the wall is thin. The beds are comfortable to sleep in.

Stayed for three nights in early April and had a great experience. The lodge is charming, with friendly staff and tasteful décor throughout. Our room was a comfortable size and included a mini fridge, and while there’s no in-room microwave, one is conveniently available in the lobby. The lobby itself is a highlight, perfect for families, with books, games, a cozy fireplace, and complimentary cookies. The patio is another excellent spot to relax, especially with the incredibly comfortable rocking chairs that make it hard to leave. The internet connection was surprisingly strong. It is an absolute lifesaver since we had no cellular service. The only drawback is the location which is about a 40–50 minute drive along a winding road to reach the General Sherman area of Sequoia National Park. That said, we would still happily recommend this lodge overall.

Great location for hikes and all that the national parks have to offer. Especially loved the cabin atmosphere with board games and activities. Rooms were clean, but fairly loud noise from gas pipe made it difficult to sleep.

The location is great for visiting the National Park. There is a local restaurant you can walk to. The food is not the best but it’s great you can walk to it. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. The Bed might need to be replaced soon in the room we stayed because it was really uncomfortable.
