The room was very cozy. Glen offered to fix the problem in the room promptly. All the staffs were very friendly including in the restaurant. Jessie was very helpful in giving food options. The food was awesome and especially the venue just right by the Kaweah River. The place is also very close to the entrance of the national park. We'll definitely go back here!

The room was cozy, clean, comfortable! You have everything that you need in a cottage looking setting. And you sleep like a baby after breathing the fresh mountain air! They have electric vehicle ports everywhere in front of the rooms. Bonus is the beautiful restaurant and friendly staff. The food at the restaurant on site is amazing! The views are breathtaking! Very close to the entrance of the Sequoia Nat Park!
