It was nice to stay at a nostalgic motel from the 60-70’s. The food was very good overall. A bit on the pricey side but the location to Sequoia Nation Park made up for it. The people were wonderful and very friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

Amazing River House

Such an amazing place!! The River House is even better than described. Great-sized living room and full kitchen and huge private deck along the rushing river. As a bonus, the restaurant’s food is wonderful and we had lots of fun in the bar. The staff are excellent!! Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend this gem of a place!!

Excellent location close to the entrance to Sequia. Rooms are on the smaller side, but very clean and equipped with everything you need. Friendly employees. Food and cocktails at the restaurant were very good. Reservations are requested. We ate there both nights of our stay. I could see parking being a little tight during the high season, due to the popularity of the restaurant, but we had no trouble at the end of April. Would definitely stay again

Decent for a last minute trip but no the best

The stay at the lodge was an okay experience, the room unfortunately was dirty. we found a half empty wine bottle in the fridge and crumbs under the beds. It was really annoying to have to make a reservation to dine at the restaurant. We waited 20 minutes to be seated while there were multiple tables open. I think this really brings the value down because its in such a great location but these minor inconveniences made it difficult to enjoy.
