It was perfect for is. Location is ~midway between RoadsEnd in KC and Crescent Meadow in Sequoia, allowing timely access to early starts in both parks. Beds are mediocre, but hardly something to complain about for any seasoned outdoorsman. Easy access to ice and water. No a/c if that matters, because it’s comfortable enough in the evenings…only an issue for anyone staying in the room during the day (why would anyone??). All in all, I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

(52øThe staff was wonderful and the rooms were clean and in great condition. Travelers should know, however, that if you are on the second floor there are no elevators. Also, none of the rooms are air conditioned. There is a fan in the room and that with an open window is the cooler. I was there in September and the nights were cool 52ºF, so it wasn't bad. I don't know how it would be in the summer months.

The John Muir Lodge was perfect for my trip to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The area around the lodge is very quiet. This is especially true if you get out at 4:30 in the morning for a sunrise hike, and you can feel how quiet and dark it is in the parking lot. It feels like the whole world is asleep. In fact, the only issue I really had was finding a place to park after about 8:45 PM because the people who stay at the John Muir Lodge are all in their rooms by that time. You don't have people staying up late and making noise. The Grant Grove visitor center, restaurant, gift shop, and market are all about a 3.5-minute walk away (I timed it), which was very convenient. And if you need a sunset every night, Panoramic Point is only a 2-mile drive away, which was also convenient. Panoramic Point is also good for sunrise; I had the sunrise there to myself on a Tuesday morning. Sequoia is only an hour away for most of its attractions. I'll grant that the Lodgepole market is much better than the Grant Grove market (and the Wuksachi Lodge is better than the Grant Grove restaurant for breakfast), but you also have many more people down in Sequoia. There is also more of a bear problem in Sequoia than up in Grant Grove.

What a fantastic stay we had at John Muir Lodge! Every detail was perfect, from the coffee in the lobby in REAL ceramic mugs, friendly and helpful staff, clean comfortable rooms, quick walk to a fantastic restaurant, gift shop and market at Cedar Grove! I cannot say enough. Highly recommend. Anyone with anything negative to say about the lodge should go stay at a fancy hotel in civilization…you just don’t get it IYKYK
Helpful sign in the lobby upon arrival
A quick hike from the lodge near the General Grant tree
General Grant did not disappoint and was a short hike from the lodge
