Great stay for Sequoia

The room was clean and comfortable, the washer/dryer was nearby and worked great. The location was good for our hikes in Sequoia National Park.

A lovely location, convenient to visit Sequoia National Park, with easy parking. Hummingbirds, sheep, goats, dogs and cats on site. A beautiful mountain and river backdrop. However, the property felt very old and tired and earwigs in the coffee machine put us off even having a hot drink. Had an apology from the owner but no offer of a refund on what we felt was an expensive stay compared to more modern, ultra clean places we’ve stayed on our road trip.

We arrived after 9 pm and our key with lots of information was left in an envelope tucked in the office door. Reminded me of yesteryear. Just a warm feeling. Also all the information was so helpful and much appreciated. I loved the country feel. Gateway restaurant was amazing!

Room and location was just as advertised, “cozy”! It was clean and in good condition for age and location. Only complaint was the air conditioning was a bit stuffy even when running overnight.

This is such a quirky place, we really enjoyed our stay. The grounds are beautiful and it was lovely seeing the farm animals and the cats. We saw hummingbirds and lots of other wildlife. Rooms are clean but quite old fashioned, very quaint. We ate at the restaurant up the road but wouldn’t recommend it. It was expensive and poor quality but there wasn’t much else in the area. Overall our stay was a lovely experience
