We wanted a nice, simple, quite mountain get-away, and that is what Corral Creek Lodge provided. Bed was clean and comfortable, location was just outside of town, and the river was close by. Very happy with our stay!

Looked like it was a better place for locals. Fire pit and barbecues were available. Location was pretty far out from main highway. But I enjoyed seeing local flavors of the place.

Tina , who lives on site is the best.... The bed is on the old side and upgrading to a pillowtop would help a ton. The hotel is charming, but the walls are thin.

The room was fairly clean, pretty standard. The major issue here is the noise. A very large group of people took over the common area, which happens to be right in front/below the rooms. I opened my door and the smoke from their bbq set off the fire alarm in the room it’s that close. They had a DJ and music played VERY loudly until after 11pm, and this was a Thursday night. This group seemed to be regulars there, so be aware.

Great!

I booked this property last minute and for a quick mini getaway with my family. The plan was to visit Sequoia National Forest which was a quick 45 min drive from the hotel. Initially we wanted to go to Sequoia National Park, but learned that dogs are not allowed on any trails. The property is across the kern river and surrounded by breathtaking mountains. I loved that they are pet-friendly and that a kitchenette was available. They also have grills outside. My favorite part was sitting outside during sunset hours. Also, the kern river is across the street from the hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

Right across from a river which was convenient. We had 2 dogs and the place is super dog-friendly. We liked that we could cook as well. Would definitely stay again!
