It was difficult to reach the lodge as the main road was currently being closed.

It was located in the middle of the national park and away from the roads, being a very quiet place. The food served there was quite good and varied from one day to another.

There's a long detour now to get to the lodge that leads via unpaved road - we were not informed about this prior to arrival. Lots of things are under construction/renovation now, so not all facilities are available.

Very good food, buffet style, especially dinner was fabulous. Great contact with the staff, even if the prices dropped since we made the reservation it was easy to get a refund of the difference.

1. the description says that this cabin has kitchen. in reality there is no kitchen top stove. so anyway you can only reheat food with microwave, not boil or fry something. but 24/7 access to snacks and tea/coffee solved the problem. 2. not comfortable king mattress ( like hammock) 3. if you have a lot of food with you- the fridge is too small

forest view, breakfast, good location, big cottage

The rooms need to be modernized. The staff should smile a bit more.

The hotel is perfectly located in between the Kings Canyon and the Sequoia. It offers an amazing view and is "embedded" in a wonderful landscape. The small lake inside the resort is a small gem. Rooms are ok, but they need to be modernized. They offer a decent dinner (the dessert was great!) and a good breakfast. They also offer the possibility to prepare sandwiches for lunch. we really appreciated the after-dinner activities for the kids. It's maybe a bit expensive for what the structure offers, but again the location is perfect and that can justify the little extra.

The food was not a highlight, but it was nice to not to have to worry about getting nourishment after a lot of hiking. The room was comfortable but did not seem very clean and having cleaner/ updated flooring would be a big improvement for me.

It was very convenient that all meals were provided and snacks too and the coffee was better than average! The food was average, not at all fancy, and with some variety. The location right in/ next 2 Kings Canyon and Sequoia Parks is fantastic which was the primary reason I chose it and it was available with short notice.

Very old and worn down - room was dark and cramped and primitive. It was like camping indoors but the price was not reflective of that.

very old lodge with a comfortable vibe.

location and staff.

There were a few minor restrictions due to Covid but completely understandable.

All meals were included, the location was great with wonderful views. The staff was accommodating and we were able to make sandwiches, etc. to take with us for lunch around the park. If felt like summer camp and we really enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

The hot tub was not working. The tech stated he was working on the hot tub, but that seemed to be said to appease us. I don't think the hot tub had been working or was expected to work during our stay. The pool was not heated. There were some old playground items just kind of shoved up to the side of a building that looked a little trashy.

Meals were provided 3 times per day. The food was excellent and the best part was the availability. Guests can get leftovers and other items after meal times. Great for families. The location was great because there were hikes you can do from the property. The staff were very nice. We loved the laid back atmosphere. The property was cute. There was a foosball table that was fun.

DIdn't like being upstairs in the main lodge family unit...noisey Next to some sort of generator and was loud. Breakfast was very good. Dinner was just okay.

Very friendly staff. Outside facilities were great..

Ran low on main course of meals a few times.

LOved view of lake from our room. Food was good. Centrally located in the parks.

The area around the lodge could have been kept up better. The pond area had a lot of algae. The equipment looked old and dirty. Some areas like the rock climbing area was not kept up and we could not use it. We had to wipe the tables outside. There was a lot of food but it did not have much taste and was not very appealing. They played loud live music while we ate and for a couple more hours but it could have been better.

There was a very nice view of the mountains and we could eat looking at them. The room was homey with nice toiletries and we liked the bunk beds for the kids. They did offer us a lot of extra things like smores, unlimited tea/coffee, granola bars, snacks, etc. There was also a lot of cereal, bread, peanut butter, oatmeal, etc. in addition to breakfast.

The food needs improvement and dining room needs to be clean and dead flowers need to be remove from table. Serving utensils need to be place better so it won’t fall into food especially it’s a buffet.

The location was great and the activities in resort was very nice. We love the lake and all the available equipments at the lake. Kong, the archery instructor was very knowledgeable and friendly.

No fridge in the room; we had some food for our hikes and nowhere to keep it cool. Main building was very noise until late with some people running up and down the stairs. Buffet food was cold

Location on the road connecting Sequoia and Kings Canyon makes the lodge very convenient; many hikes nearby. There is a lake with canoes, kayaks, etc.. for guests to use. Dinner was buffet style, with good choices; there was live music and s’mores afterwards. Nice wrap-around deck with amazing views.

It would have been nice to have someone assigned to to clean tables before eating.

Spacious and comfortable

You can’t beat the location, and it was great to have meals included.

Since the lodge has been around for a while, it does show its age with the expected wear and tear. There is construction on site to turn it from a winter to a summer place.

The location is perfect since the lodge is on Generals Highway and is close to Kings Canyons Highway. Having 3 meals daily included in the room rate is an added star. Especially the dining options are no where nearby. The food is not fancy but very good.
