    Spent the weekend at Sequoia Highlands with my LA crew for a retreat organized by the amazing BACE…read morespin instructors, and it was genuinely a beautiful experience. We were warmly greeted by Kim, who guided us through everything we needed from the moment we arrived. The property has several cabins and yurts. The cabins are equipped with full kitchens and each one has its own unique charm. There's also a great common hangout area with a piano, fireplace, bar, disco lights, couches, and high tables; perfect for relaxing or spending time with the group. A shared kitchen is also available with full cooking capabilities. If you're staying in the yurts, restrooms and showers are conveniently located nearby. The grounds are spacious and peaceful, ideal for daily walks, relaxing in a hammock, or heading up a bit to enjoy the swings and take in the sunset. One weekend truly wasn't enough to explore and appreciate everything this place has to offer. Plus, it's only a short drive from the Sequoia Park entrance, which makes it even better. My only suggestion would be to provide a detailed list of what each cabin includes: kitchen tools, bathroom essentials, and bedroom items so guests can pack accordingly.

    My friends and I wanted to get away for a weekend to celebrate December birthdays and the holidays…read moreand found the Manzanita Cabin on Airbnb! It was perfect because we could only stay overnight and this was the only place we could find that was flexible. Fairly close to Yosemite in case you wanted to visit and VERY close to Bass Lake! Randy, our host, communicated with me right as I booked the cabin and was always easy to get a hold of. When we arrived, he gave us a thorough tour of the cabin and instructions on how to use everything. Manzanita Cabin is absolutely thee most charming cabin I've ever stayed in!! We were a party of 12 and fit comfortable in this spacious place. The huge wood table fit us all comfortably for meals and we had a great time playing games/sitting around the wood burning fireplace in the living room as well. The kitchen was very spacious and had everything we needed in regards to pots, pans, plates, utensils, etc. The rooms were comfy and had furnaces in case we wanted a little extra warmth. There were three bathrooms all beautifully renovated! Downstairs there's even a small game room for kids and a huge garage with a washer and dryer if needed. Though a little chilly, we spent some time on the porches that wrapped around the whole house. This cozy cabin definitely stole our hearts and we cannot wait to return!! Randy has a Facebook page that you can contact him directly!

    We stayed at this absolutely amazing cabin for the weekend. The minute we strolled in we were taken…read moreback by how beautiful the cabin was on the inside. Randy was there to greet us and show us around, (thank you Randy, you were amazing and we love your cabin) we felt right at home with this spot, everything we needed was here... All we did was bring the food! Waking up to the falling of the leaves and the fireplace was so relaxing... and the kids loved the game room downstairs. This was everything we hoped for!! We will be coming back again!! Thank you for being awesome Randy!! We will call you soon!

    My friends and I literally just came home from our amazing stay in the greatest cabin ever!!…read more The new owners Jeannie and Rich have really amazed me with how well maintained and stocked the kitchen is. The kitchen is so well stocked, it made cooking such a breeze. I was able to make chocolate soufflés in the kitchen (I just had to bring my own hand mixer and chocolate). Their kitchen appliances, pots, and pans were better than the ones I had at home! Even their gas grill outside looked like it wasn't even touched. The even got wifi, directv, and Netflix hooked up. It was nice having these options even though we didn't spend a lot of time using it. It even had ac in there! After you spend your afternoon walking up and down the river, it's nice to come inside in a well conditioned cabin. The cabin is off the main road but you don't hear too many cars. Especially if your hanging out in the back by the river. All you hear is the river. And plus it was very convenient to have the gas station, convenient stores, souvenir shops etc. just down the road. My friends and I had such a terrific weekend that we were so sad to leave back to the OC. We will definitely be back and recommend this quaint cabin to anyone. FYI: they told us that if your cell phone provider is AT&T you will have better service up there than any other provider. They still have a landline for you to use, which was nice. And don't forget to check out The Doll Nest in the area. It's a shop full of Russian Nesting Dolls and toys! How cute is that!

    Super cute and affordable cabin rental! It looks like it's been put under new ownership after some…read moreof these older reviews were written, so if it were my business I'd contact yelp and have that changed for a fresh start! Overall, they do a great job with the cleanliness! It's hit or miss with "mom and pop" type places, but the floors, bathroom, and bedding were all fresh! A few suggestions as far as the kitchen and appliances go... If it wasn't available for use, I wouldn't have known any better, but since it was there, it's like come on do a better job. Clean the ashes out of the weber. The open box of pancake mix, ew. The random assortment of coffee packs that appear to have been left by other cabin users, with no expiration date, not the best. Also, if you're going to have a salt shaker... make sure it's full. Like I said, if these items weren't available I wouldn't have assumed they should be. But since you guys put them in there, do a better job at keeping it stocked and maybe consider better quality stuff. It doesn't cost much to put foil, tongs, coffee, and a legitimate salt and pepper grinder in the kitchen. If you really wanna step it up, a 20.00 pack of silverware from target instead of the hodgepodge of forks in the drawer would have been killer. That's why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, if that small stuff is the biggest "issue" than this place is still pretty awesome!! Waking up to a few feet of snow in a cute little cabin, popping a bottle for a mimosa, and enjoying the mountain air.. Not bad! Would definitely recommended staying here, and I would for sure rebook. I'd just bring my own kitchen stuff like for camping next time.

The new owners are reshaping and rebuilding these traditional cabins located in downtown Shaver lake. I stayed in one of the nicest well kept cabins that offered a single Queen bed, roomie bathroom with a wonderfully high shower head( I'm 6'2") and a nice kitchenette. Flat screen TV with local cable. One of the nicest and welcomed amenity was the gas fireplace that was crackling when we entered the room. These cabins are located close to all of the local restaurants and bars with easy walking access to the whole village. I will be making future plans to staying with the knotty pines in the future. I was also told to look forward to a new reservation website and friendlier staff. Thanks again Knotty Pines Cabins of Shaver Lake.

    We enjoyed our stay in cabin #7. I'd describe the cabin, as cozy. Exactly what their website…read morepictures looked like. We loved the awesome view of the lake, and the patio is a perfect place to sit and relax with 2 chairs & a firepit. We were a late check-in and someone called us before we arrived, to give us information on getting into the cabin, parking and general instructions. Friday night was pretty quiet. Saturday night we could hear some good music playing from the restaurant patio. It was loud enough to hear from inside our room, but by no means bothersome. We enjoyed the vibe. By about 9:30ish, we noticed the music had stopped and it was back to silence. Our trip was cut short for personal reasons, but we'll definitely stay here any chance we get.

    We just finished a long weekend at this property and we loved it! The staff are very friendly and…read morethe cabins are cute and nice with close proximity to the lake. The beds are very comfortable and the cabins come equipped with some amenities, plenty of towels and blankets and very high quality linens which is unexpected in a cozy cabin. Each cabin has a theme, we were in the Bear Cabin which is cabin 19, and our friends were in the Eagle cabin. All the cabins have lovely lake views and front porches - perfect for watching the time pass while enjoying the incredible view. Ours is not right on the lake but up the hill so you can still see the view from your windows and front porch. Very quiet, serene and peaceful. There is a general store and restaurant on-sight - making it a very convenient place to stay in a pretty quiet area. We ate at the restaurant and thought it was quite good (wrote a separate review of that). I am only giving the property four stars because there were a couple areas that I think could be improved but it was nothing we felt we had to tell the staff. Again, we were very happy with the place. Overall, the cleanliness of the cabin could be improved. Seems like the porch hadn't been hosed down in ages and was full of dust and cobwebs. The floor also didn't seem like it had been cleaned very well. I'll give some leeway here as the area was quite dusty after a dry summer. There was a giant cobweb insight the bathroom window which was a little unsettling. Also to note, the beach area closest to the resort seems to be very popular for locals on Saturdays so it got crowded. Obviously they can't control that, but wanted to mention here for your plans if you stay. You will need to get space early. Overall, would recommend this cute resort with very cozy cabins for a mountain getaway. We didn't get a chance to explore the area - it was very hot so we spent our time at the lake. We'd like to come back in the fall and do more exploring.

    This review is just for the River Rock Cafe at Mono Hot Springs resort…read more The cafe is open for dinner from 5 to 8pm according to the sign. It's advisable to go earlier rather than later because they might run out of the entree you want. They make stuff fresh daily, so that's a danger. The hardworking server managed the front end solo. She did a good job. My 1/2 lb bison burger patty was cooked to delicious perfection. Having a non-dehydrated meal after an 8- day BP trip was a treat. Having this bison burger meal with the option of 2 side dishes was heavenly. No, potato fries wasn't one of the choices. I did choose the asparagus and zucchini cooked in marinara sauce and the restuffed baked half potato. This was an exceptional meal that was almost too big for me to finish, but I managed! The bison meat was flavorful and had not the slightest greasy quality about it. Getting meals of this quality when far off the beaten track is a delightful expectation when at Mono Hot Springs. You would be hard-pressed to find a meal this good in the towns further down the mountain.
