Wonderful location just outside of SEKI. They've built a very humble, quiet, and relaxing location for locals and travelers. I highly recommend this if your goal is to have quick rest breaks. The staff were extremely kind and struck a balance being attentive and letting you have your space to take in the scenery.

We stayed in one of the barn banks with a shared bathroom. Room was nice and clean, bed was comfortable, bathroom was just a few yards away. Restaurant was also yummy and you can pay an extra $10 to use the kitchen and laundry area. Definitely worth the price we paid and a good home base for Kings Canyon National Park.

Property is very close to the National Park which makes for easy access. Gena's restaurant was very good. We ate there 3 times and never disappointed. The lodges are very dated but make due for our family of 4. They do have separated shed style lodges which look newer. They have community laundry and kitchen for a small daily fee. All in all, I would stay again.

We checked in and surveyed the small room and decided it was a not a good fit for a family of 3. The bunk bed was shaky and my son was worried sleeping on it. It was low ceiling and he got claustrophobic. We checked out at the front desk/restaurant within 20-25 minutes of entering the room.
