This lodge is super close to Sequoia NP, and offers dining options. I enjoyed being able to park in front of my room, rather than a mega hotel, and also the shaded porch outside my dwelling. Bonus: the robust & beautiful Wakeah River is adjacent to the restaurant---Gorgeous! Suggestion: lodge check-in and check-out needs more streamlined. I had to ask for wi-fi info, no one offered to tell me where ice machine was (I never found it during my stay), and with the restaurant/office not opening until later in the day, i had no idea where to leave my keys (not key card, but keys)upon check-out. There is not a Dropbox. Despite this, I'd stay there again.
