Montecito Sequoia Lodge is a solid 4-star experience, but it’s important to set expectations—this isn’t a luxury hotel. What it does offer is excellent value for its location inside Sequoia National Park, about 40 minutes from the park’s main attractions. The lodge provides unique perks such as complimentary access to a private lake with canoes and paddleboards. Breakfast is very good, and dinner is solid as well. Overall, it’s a great deal for those who prioritize location, activities, and value over high-end amenities.

This is a great lodge/cabin style property in the woods off the Generals Highway. There’s a lake and tennis and archery. People come to vacation here. We were only staying here while exploring Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon so didn’t take advantage of the facilities as much but the food and service was incredible. All meals are included and they are very high quality buffet style. The direct access bridge to the property was damaged so there was a 15 min detour via a dirt road into the woods which was a bit inconvenient but part and parcel of the whole forest experience I guess. The room was spacious and the linens were good. I would come back if I was in the area again. The staff was lovely too.

This is an older camp in the middle of the park. The food was not good, they said breakfast starts at 7:00 but no cooked food was available until 7:30. They said a bag lunch was available if you were going off campus but they did not prepare it until 9:00 making for a late start touring the park.
