This was our first visit to Sequoia National Forest and we loved Wuksachi Lodge. It wasn’t our normal vacation but that’s what we were looking for. There is no pool, sauna, arcade, or beach. The rooms in the lodge were very clean and I thought the beds were extremely comfortable. The rooms are basic, but that only adds to the charm of the experience. If you visit in the summer, be aware that most of the rooms have no A/C but some have window units. It wasn’t an issue for us because the low at night was around 48 Fahrenheit in August. The Peaks restaurant was the only part of the lodge that I thought was just ok. The food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either and was pretty expensive. Everything else was great and you can’t beat the location. It’s about an hour drive on a road full of hairpin turns to get to the main park attractions once you enter the park. By staying in the park at Wuksachi, we only had to make that drive once to get in and once to go home.
