On a recent trip to Sequoia my friend Denise and i stayed here. When I booked the place I did so…read moreafter consulting a few websites but not really diving into them, so I did not know what this place was about. I just knew it was rustic--- on theme for a woods-forward trip- and close to Sequoia. And I assumed it was, at its core, an inn in a town. When Denise and I arrived we discovered that what awaited us was different than what we expected- not in an extreme way, but, in a way that separated where we slept from where we had to shower. These two points were far enough that we would need to walk from our room to another structure. Not a far walk, but still a walk that felt inconvenient because we are city folk, not outhouse people, even if they are modernized. I do not know if I made it clear, Denise and I discovered that what I booked was a cabin with no bathroom and the bathroom was like a 10 to 15 feet walk to a modern outhouse that felt impossible to get to, especially in the black and cold of the night. Denise and I were introduced to our shed turn cabin at around 10::00 p.m. We quickly accepted that we did not have a typical inn room, I had opted for the green cabin. It was a form of glamping. The actual room was snug. She took the bed up that up a ladder, like the one one walks up when they have bunk beds. And I stayed on the bottom bed. The place had a table, hooks, the beds a tv mounted on a corner and not much else. It was a place to sleep, and watch tv while laying down on the bed, it was not much more. So when I call it a cabin, do not imagine a cabin in the woods with a fire, a bear rug, a couch with quilted cushions and a mounted elk on the wall. It literally was what I described before--- mostly a couple of beds with a shed built around it. I showered in the outhouse the next morning. It had two stalls with a toilet and three to four showers, with one out of order. I had stepped into the bathroom of mountain folk and as a vacation experience it slapped, if it were my regular life, I would miss the privacy and comfort of a city bathroom with its sturdy plumbing and opportunity for me to blast my beats as I shower. When I went inside my shower, I saw that the shower was not a shower-head mounted on a wall. Instead it was one of those shower heads that is like a hose. You can pick it up, and shower with it while you scrub yourself with one hand, and hold the shower head with the other. I did not fully understand how to change from old clothes to my new clothes, so I ended up wetting my new clothes. I left them in the corner of the shower, and I believed that the water from the shower hose would not get them, but it did. For those who think that they would have handled the situation better than I did, even thought it was their first time, like it was my first time, I say they are probably right. I tend to be clumsy and miss hooks, and not really think of clothes enough to protect them from hose water that can run wild. In this place, one has to prepare logistically to tackle a shower. When Denise and I woke up the next morning, we were able to see the expansive wood scenery that awaited us. It was precious and majestic and the pay-off of enduring the lack of city comforts. The place also had this patio area with fairies, they were ceramic of course, but maybe at a certain time of day they awake at least for seconds to tend to the woods so they keep green and strong. I sat there. Took pictures of the trees, through a netting roof, and at this moment knew I was in a rustic-wood dream sponsored by dust of fairies, and I was in a state of stiff calm that settled by a nymph's blessing. With the poetic stripped, the place offered me peace because I was surrounded with pronounced nature in the form of tall trees, dirt trails, a blue sky, and I was not in a rush. I could simply enjoy the blue, green and brown all around me, with ticks of the clock ignored. I guess that is the promise of a vacation in the woods fulfilled. There was also a cat that belonged to the place. It was peached colored and clipped in all its glory. I forgot its name. Denise and I took a short walk to the small clearing behind the inn. And the cat decided to nestle besides her. So this place also has another charming quality of a good inn: a permanent guest, of the feline persuasion, that always greets visitors with a purr and a paw. Those kind of touches transformed our wooden cabin in the woods, into a wooden cabin in the woods where we interacted with a four legged creation, not a moose or a bear, but still the spirit of nature's animals was all around us. I just re-saw the picture of the tall trees behind the netting roof and I felt the umph of nature's breeze hitting my inside again. The magic of the woods came home with us, great souvenir if you ask me!

I called the phone number and it rang inside. A guest at the hotel who walked by there said he had the same experience, but that someone had come out eventually. I heard occasional noises inside the building. Around the side a door was open. At the doorway was a traffic cone with a "no trespassing" sign on it. 3 feet inside this open door was another door which said "employees only". I yelled inside "anyone there" several times". After 30 minutes I started using my phone to find a different hotel. As a last measure, I took one step past the "no trespassing" sign to knock loudly on the "employees only" door. After a few minutes, a young man, who seemed stoned, came out of this door and yelled at me for trespassing. I left and found a different hotel.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, activities, and amenities. The big bed has a comfortable mattress and there is a heater extra blankets. The mini fridge in the room would not recommend I don't think it worked despite turning the knobs to higher setting, there is a communal fridge in the dining kitchen area, so you can write your name with a note and use that if necessary. People don't really need to bring much as the resort has everything you might need. However, extra body wash, shampoo, and such would be useful to bring if traveling with a large group because the ones offered in the bathroom come in tiny trial size containers. The bunk beds seemed to have a inflatable mattresses so if planning a trip with multiple adults that could be a concern if picky. My boyfriend and I stayed during Memorial Day weekend, and we were very happy with this place. The mountains had some visible snow still from the lodge deck. Check in and Check out was simple and easy. If you need to work remotely with strong internet, know that while the wifi is Starlink, it's spotty. There were s'mores our first night which reminded me so much of camping growing up. We were in the Sugar something lodge, and the hot water did not disappoint, reliable and hot each time. Water pressure okay and as expected being so remote. Food is all self serve, and it's very organized. There is a small ice maker as well to fill up water bottles for the day. The food was consistent. If you get bored easily, i recommend checking out board games at the front desk. If technology dependent, were sort of able to download slowly episode of a show on Netlfix while there, but I recommend doing this earlier in advance at home or wherever signal is fast. All the workers are kind, and we highly recommend partaking in the activities that are offered daily. There are 2 tennis courts too, lap pool, hot tub, bouncy house (sometimes on), kids trampoline, lounge chairs galore, communal books. The Archery was a blast, it gave us a chance to try it, and the canoeing was so relaxing. Upon request, they have a bagged lunch system so if you plan to venture out to the famous site seeing hikes or spots at Seqoia National Park, it could be helpful. There are many activities, and it is incredibly family friendly. I highly recommend to all no matter what age. I would definitely stay again and recommend to people who want a fun relaxing spot for camping vibes or outdoor activities. Also everything at the resort is walking distance so pretty convenient. Also AWD or 4WD highly recommended as of right now 10-15 mins of the route is dusty dirt unpaved road uphill/downhill. However, we did see a BMW sedan once but we felt bad for the car.

We stayed in the main lodge and originally we were a bit concerned that there was no air conditioning. That ended up not being an issue as they have a box fan that fits in the window. Worked good enough for us, we stayed here in late August. The lake had free paddle boards and kayaks. The resort was very relaxing and quiet, with lots of places to be secluded in nature. Even with the lodge being fully booked. The only downside was the food. It wasn't great, not bad, but definitely nothing special.

This all could have been avoided if they were up front about their cancellation policy instead of just dropping it on you after you've already made a deposit.
