The room was small but obviously well cared-for; it included an AC unit which was an especially nice touch. The restaurant was great and surprisingly active, with a mix of locals and visitors. Really it just felt perfect for a friendly, low-key environment.

We stayed at the Creek side Chalet. Room was nice and clean, newer clean bathroom and hot water readily available. Driving towards the chalet in dark was scary ( a little more light in the area will be better) but much nicer in morning. We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant attached to it. Food was fresh and delicious. Breakfast portions were quite generous. Overall, nice stay.

We stayed in one of the barn banks with a shared bathroom. Room was nice and clean, bed was comfortable, bathroom was just a few yards away. Restaurant was also yummy and you can pay an extra $10 to use the kitchen and laundry area. Definitely worth the price we paid and a good home base for Kings Canyon National Park.

Property is very close to the National Park which makes for easy access. Gena's restaurant was very good. We ate there 3 times and never disappointed. The lodges are very dated but make due for our family of 4. They do have separated shed style lodges which look newer. They have community laundry and kitchen for a small daily fee. All in all, I would stay again.

This is close to the entrance of Kings Canyon National Park. Good for a budget overnight stay. The staff is great and the food in the little restaurant is good. The bed is okay - not great support. I did not like that I had to pay an extra &10 to get ice and use the refrigerator. The $10 also covers laundry. The dryer took forever to dry my small load.

This was such a cute convenient place to stay before heading into King's Canyon the next morning. Bathroom/shower house communal, but very nicely maintained with 4 private shower stalls, 2 private toilet stalls, 2 sinks- never had to wait to use. Optional $11 kitchen/laundry room use very appreciated. Was great to be able to unload our cooler into the fridge/freezer to prep for our next day. Don't forget to pre-register thru the email sent in advance- makes check-in much easier (I simply forgot). Coffee available for free in morning in Cafe- keep in mind you may need to be patient though, staff is busy running the restaurant, and it's not self-serve. Would absolutely stay here again!! Small cabins are so cute! Very comfortable, has a/c.

Good value to us; just understand what you are getting for the price. The rooms are very small, even a bit cramped. But they are clean and comfortable. The property is in a very convenient location; less than 30 minutes from the Big Stump entrance to Kings Canyon and Sequoia. Less than 30 minutes to the closest town, amenities. We really enjoyed the restaurant on the property; very good food at reasonable prices. Not for someone seeking a luxury hotel experience. But great for someone looking for a clean, reasonably priced hotel convenient to the two national parks. Worked out great for our needs.
