The property was reminiscent of youth camping programs with delightful staff. The available activities, food, lake and sunrise views, were also a plus. Definitely will recommend.

The staff was very welcoming, especially the asst general mgr. The food was excellent. The smores around the campfire were outstanding, I was never able to do that before. It was quiet. I would definitely recommend.
Melinda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Great location , in the sequoia park .
Agnieszka, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Kevin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Somewhat rustic but updated accommodations included dinner and breakfast and outdoor activities with stay. Very relaxing and lovely. Road into the lodge is a service road at this time and that was a little daunting. Wouldn’t have wanted to drive that in the dark. Overall probably the favorite place we stayed for our week long road trip through some national parks. The hot tub was out of commission but pool was open and canoes and paddle boats were also available.
Brijette, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible stay, filthy, old, worn down. Nothing like the pictures. Food was a disgrace. Do not go there! Terrible from A to z
Pirmin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The meals were good, but there was a detour to the property due to the bridge being out. The hot tub wasnt working and the pool was dirty. The buildings are also in need of repair.
Todd, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The lodge has all the elements necessary for a great resort, but the facilities are in dire need of updates and renovations.
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Cathy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Overall I would not recommend, The lodge is dirty, the stuff not friendly and they deceive people regards all their activities, they say one thing on their website and complete opposite in reality, nothing what they advertise is true except 3 times a day meal
