Exceptional

Liked: The staff was so nice and kind. Love the public area that visitors can gathering around together.

Superb

The staff was very nice,...

Liked: Location, staff, s’mores
Disliked: The bunk bed wasn’t made, it looked like it had been used before we checked in and wasn’t re-made. The place smells a bit because of all the old rugs, might be a good idea to re-rug. The pool was empty and looked derelict.

Good

Liked: 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.
Disliked: 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.

Lovely stay in the heart...

Liked: Location in the sequoia national forest, kind staff, great meals.
Disliked: No heating and extra blankets in the room.

Superb

Liked: The location, between Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park, is excellent. The Lodge has a nice view to the south, and the food and drink is good. The rooms are quiet.
Disliked: The timing of dinner (5:30-7:00) seems a little early, as anyone out for sunset misses dinner. That being said, it is easy enough to grab leftovers and re-heat them. The placement of the Lodge is a bit diminished because of the access road being washed out - I was disincentivized from returning to the property multiple times a day (including for lunch), as the circuitous dirt road was a bit of a pain. If/when the original road is restored, the property would be much more appealing.

Liked: This place was really cool and not what we expected. It definitely had quite a lot of families staying, kind of reminiscent of a summer camp! We arrived pretty late and missed dinner, but they keep leftovers from each meal that you can take from when you need (and the food was great!). Everyone was so pleasant, and the rooms in the window could be opened which was a big plus for us to get some mountain air at night!
Disliked: We both struggle with allergies so carpeted rooms made that a bit challenging, but opening the windows at night definitely helped.
