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

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!

The place was interesting and we enjoyed our stay however it was a bit inconvenient for people our age (late seventies). The room was upstairs and the stairs were many and steep. The staff was very helpful though and they carried our bags up on arrival and down on departure day. The detour to get to the lodge was very long along dirt road. The food was very good and plentiful. In the end we had a good stay but probably will not return.

The 3meals a day included in price was awesome. Plus they had snacks, fruit, drinks available 24 hrs. The place is very run down. Rooms were satisfactory, needs a lot of updating. Main entrance was washed out due to storms in the spring so they had a service road in. It was ok, but they should tell you before booking as part of it was dirt. Could be a very nice place to stay if “ cleaned up” around the property & updated.

We pulled into the property and immediately didn’t like it. It was an old lodge that had seen it’s better days. We were actually ready to leave. We decided to stay and actually loved our stay. Food was delicious and plentiful, the lodge was so much fun. We sat in the large lodge area for most of our nights drinking and making friends with strangers. Definitely took us back to a simpler time. Convenient to both parks.
