Love the creekside cabin. Great for peace and quiet. Restaurant looked great and got a glowing review from a colleague, but I wasn't able to dine there during my stay to note otherwise. I look forward to trying the fare when I return.
Pretty good for family with kids as they would love the loft and bunk beds. I like the spacious communal shower and toilet. One inconvenience is there's no mirror in our cabin and no chairs. Didn't get a chance to try the restaurant but the food looked good from menu.
It was a charming little place and very convenient for 2 days exploring Sequoia and Kings Canon NP. Room was very small for 3 adults ( full & bunk beds). It was quiet and staff including Gena, her husband and waitress at the restaurant were very friendly and helpful.
good place. this my second time stay here, very unique.

I especially liked the cute sitting area above the creek. It was inviting and really peaceful. Overall I felt safe and cozy. Lisa also made me feel welcomed and we had a nice chat. You can eat there as well, everything in one place!
Such a welcoming and cozy little spot ☺️ Gena was super loving and welcoming towards Us.
The cabins even tho little, were more than enough. Plus very clean facilities. I would DEFINITELY recommend this place.
