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.

Cute mountain cabin

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.

Road trip

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.
