I'd totally stay here again. Very clean, reasonably priced, close enough to a gas station and close enough to Fresno for anyone flying in there. Staff was helpful and very friendly. The restaurant isnt open in the morning/mid-day but the staff is quick to answer phone calls. I also overheard someone going above and beyond for a couple that was asking about food options while their restaurant was closed. Our group rented the Hunter's Lodge and a private room, in the future I'll book way in advanced to be able to secure the more private cabin.

Cabins are very small. It does not have features as mentioned in the advertisement. Right after your booking, you will receive such warning e mail instead upfront. It is not for 3 adults. Actually it is for two adults and a kid. The ceiling is so low, it is not possible to have comfortable sleep without hurting your head! The stair is not handy to use. The distances between the steps are huge. Therefore it is quite dangerous if you need to go to the restroom during the night. Everywhere is full with baby frogs. For us it is not worth it what you pay and what you get!

This was a nice place to stay next to Sequoia National Park. At the northern entrance. The noise from the Highway was a bit loud. Earplugs helped especially if you are a light sleeper. It was hot outside and the cooler was decent. Kept me cool all night. Nice back area for walking your dog, if you bring a pet.

For the most part, it was a great stay in a tiny cabin with a shared bathroom/shower and kitchen. However, a man who was cleaning staff entered our locked cabin using the passcode TWICE in the morning without knocking. This is unacceptable. Once was at 8:30am way before our check out time, and then he came in again later in the morning even though he knew we were still there. It did not feel safe. They should respect check out times and our privacy! At the very least if you want to clean the room earlier, knock on the door, say housekeeping, and wait for a response like a normal hotel would.

DO NOT STAY HERE
We had to pack up and leave after just a few hours because when the lights were off, the COCKROACHES came out. My kids and I were watching a movie before bed and suddenly I spotted bugs running across the floor. Never packed up so fast in my life. The kids were screaming. We told the manager and she literally said "I'll let the owner know" and ran inside the office, turned off the lights and seaked out the back door. Not surprised in hindsight with the gap between the bottom of the door and the frame/door jam. I called the owner the next morning and thankfully was given a refund, but we ended up having to drive from the middle of nowhere to Fresno with 3 kids at 10:30 at night.

It was HORRIBLE. Our first room has been swarmed by ants during the night. So we asked for a new room which was accepted BUT this one didn't have a working door lock. So we asked for a new room which was better. Until the morning when we were again invaded by ants. We also did a laundry, which cost 10 dollars, and didn't clean anything. The restaurant is expensive and not incredible. I could go on and on but I think you get the idea. There hasn't even been a commercial gesture after all we've been through. Only one positive things: the woman on the morning really tried her best to help us, she was nice. RUN AWAY !!

We had a great experience staying here, and our 2 dogs also loved it. I considered it as "glamping" as you share showers & toilets with others staying there too. It was very clean, no odors, beds were comfortable, have AC units, the gift shop was so affordable compared to the shops in Hume Lake.We bought t-shirts, jewelry, pocket knife, and shot glasses. This place is very dog friendly and we will definitely stay there again. For those saying its so loud because of the road, honestly after 9pm you dont hear anything. Yes you can hear cars pass by here and there but its very settle and they provide ear plugs. Im a light sleeper and was able to sleep very well. My husband, my 2 college daughters, and myself loved it. We didn't get a chance to eat at the restaurant so we can not rate it. Just be thankful its there in case you are hungry, restaurant options are low out there, remember you are in the mountains not in the city! Enjoy

My daughter got a sliver of glass in her toe from the office style carpet in the loft. Then both of my daughters that slept in the loft had flees in their hair this morning! Wouldn’t have stayed a second night even if we could. Also, poor description on the joint shower areas and the photo wasn’t even of the “cabin” that we stayed in. The ladder to the loft also had huge gapped steps not particularly safe for kids under 10. The room was also hot as heck until 10pm when it finally cooled enough for the small AC unit to do its job.
