Very good

What a gem! Property has a beautiful lake where you can canoe, paddle board, kayak, etc. Buffet was great and they offer 24/7 access to buffet leftovers, snacks, and things like cereal, toast, bagels, drinks, etc. Lodge was wonderful!!!
This was an amazing stay and far exceeded my expectations. I almost don’t want to get rid of you because I don’t want people to know about the secretly amazing place.
The amenities and food and snacks that are all part of the inclusive price was great as well as very family friendly entertainment.

A unique experience in sequoia park. So much offered… quaint pond for fishing and canoeing, archery, s’mores and evening campfire, pool n hot tub, excellent selection of board games and buffet meals !!!! AND very close to Grant tree… all that and very friendly staff .
True… the lodge and the rooms are dated.. but they point this out on their website and there are pictures of the rooms . But what the place lacks in fancy upgraded rooms it WELL makes up for in character and activities. They do have a few very new cabins as well is you’re not into the vintage feel
- excellent service
- friendly staff
- good food
- comfortable bed (except for the pillows)
- quiet room
- convenient location
- lengthy detour from generals highway on forest service road will last into summer
- main lodge is very old. Needs work.

Cozy place, great for families with kids of all ages. Staff are friendly and arrange lot of activities for kids and families.
Lodging in the park can be tough as it's limited. That being said, this lodge easily provides the most value and the best star gazing and break away from the tourists. Three amazing meals a day saves a lot of money and time and the meals there were better than any place we ate up and down the sierras. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Waking up next to the lake and nature and campfires with smores at night was icing on the cake. Beds were comfortable as well. Highly recommend!
