I booked this hotel by chance, and the setting is absolutely beautiful. A large river flows right alongside the hotel, with a pathway leading down to the riverbank. You can go fishing and river rafting here, making it an ideal spot for a family vacation.

This was our fourth stay within the last 12 months. The room was clean and the air conditioning worked well in the room that we stayed in. My wife and I like the staff as they're nice, friendly people. My dog even likes the staff as they pet our big dog. It's nice and quiet and right next to a small stretch of the river. We enjoyed our stay.

I had a great stay at the Sequoia Lodge in Kernville. The rooms are definitely older and a bit outdated, but they were very clean, which made all the difference. The property was quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxing after a long day. What really stood out was the staff — friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. If you’re looking for a simple, clean, and comfortable place with great service, Sequoia Lodge is a solid choice.

My daughters and I stayed at Sequoia Lodge recently, and it was a true delight. We spent three nights there, and the experience was wonderful. The place was spotless, surrounded by beautiful nature, and within walking distance of the river—just down some steps! It's accessible, charming, and I absolutely recommend it 100%. My girls and I would gladly return, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to others!
