Rustic, going along with the vibe of Sequoia National Park, but comfortable beds, good heater, hot water, and quiet, beautiful setting. We were surprised to find lots of activities: pickleball, archery, ping pong, trampoline for the kids, paddleboards, paddleboats, just hanging and enjoying the scenery.

This property is in need of an update and was NOT worth the price! When we arrived at our “deluxe” cabin, it obviously had not been vacuumed, smashed dead bugs were on the windows, and our thermostat didn’t work! A couple of light bulbs weren’t working, the light above our dining table flickered so much we had to turn it off, and the deck railing was falling apart. The all-inclusive meals were buffet style with only a few choices and those weren’t good. The main road to this “resort” is closed and the detour is a one lane winding dirt road. And, the property is at least 45 minutes from anything worth seeing in the park. Overall this was a terrible experience!

I hate to give this place a bad review since the staff was excellent and it was so clean. Unfortunately getting to the lodge was a hassle because of the dirt one lane detour which was not at the fault of the lodge. Signs were very clear but we didn't get a heads up about it. Also unfortunately the room had a smoke detector that went off at 10:00 pm at night and I didn't know how to turn it off so I used earplugs to get to sleep. Also we had a room next to the stairs which we could hear people coming up and down the stairs all night. Other than that everything was fine. It was nice to have snacks and drinks available and the breakfast and dinner was an added plus.

The road to the lodge was very bumpy and was not paved. It gets creepy on the way to the lodge. When we first looked at our room, it seemed nice, but unsafe. There were a lot of sound when we walked on the floor. The outside was nice and there were a lot of activities to do outdoors. At first we were a little nervous about the food, but then it turned out to be okay. Also, the charging stations were not great.

Wonderfully Unusual Place to Stay
The location is outstanding with views to die for. The road to the place is in bad repair due to the terrible weather in Spring 2023, but well worth the effort to get there. The rooms are comfortable, up to date, clean, and spacious. The buffet meals are a delight. I have never had better buffet meals. Also the fact that you get breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the price is actually a bargain given the quantity and the quality of the food. They even provide a wide varaty of snacks. It is actaully sat up for long term stay with loads of on site activities, but it also makes a great place to stay for even just one night. The staff were fantastic!

Quite expensive for the type of accommodations offered. Very rustic experience and the food is ok. Problem is there are very few options available in this area but $400 per night for basically a camp seems excessive. Staff were friendly and helpful. Was disappointed to see disposable plates, cups and utensils. Not very environmentally friendly

Beautiful location. Looks like a great place to vacation with kids. Food was good. We booked one of the new "architecture designed cabin in the woods" at @ $450 a night. The cabin was lovely with a wonderful deck to sit on and enjoy the view. The cabin had at least 8 kitchen cabinets and 4 drawers that were all empty . No dishes,no wine glasses, no corkscrew. Plenty of paper cups, packets of coffee, packets or sugar and creamer. We asked for wine glasses at the main lodge and were told "glass is not allowed in the cabins.🤗🤗🤗 Seems to be a resort in transition, but doesn't understand how to do "luxury".

Everyone here was very friendly and nice, however, I feel the condition of the lodge did not match the price. It was quite expensive for a slightly run down looking room, with dislodged wood panels on the ceiling, some stains on the carpet, and a lot of nicks on the walls. The property was messy looking with a lot of construction going on, and the bridge was closed for repairs causing a long dirt road detour for entry onto the property. In addition, our fire alarm went off for 20 minutes before the manager (also very friendly) was able to replace it. Not a bad place to stay, but way too expensive for the condition it was in.
