Fantastic Stay at Lazy J Ranch Motel – Highly Recommend! I recently stayed at Lazy J Ranch Motel, and it was an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, making us feel right at home. One of the biggest highlights for us was how pet-friendly this place is. It’s not always easy to find a clean, comfortable motel that also welcomes pets, but Lazy J Ranch exceeded expectations. The rooms were spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and equipped with both a refrigerator and microwave, which made our stay even more convenient. The location is unbeatable—just minutes from the entrance to Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park. After a long day of exploring the stunning scenery, it was wonderful to come back to such a peaceful and cozy spot. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly place to stay near Sequoia, I highly recommend Lazy J Ranch Motel. We will definitely be back!

clean room, friendly staff, fun (and well decorated?) environment. only drawback is the heater's noise, like jet plane taking off 😂 but they do offer extra blankets being clean and easily accessible on an overhead shelf, so we still survived on a late January night without the heat on. hey, it's a great deal for its price.

Loved my stay at this super cute ranch motel. Bed was a bit dated and fairly creaky, but otherwise the room was perfect for my needs as a base camp for visiting Sequoia NP. Already planning to stay here again sometime.

We were given the wrong accommodations. We ordered a king bed and given (2) beds? The beds were very uncomfortable to sleep on. There was a spider crawling on the wall by the window. The heating was a potable heater? Really? The shower got really hot then immediately turn ice cold?

Amazing place to stay when visiting the Sequoia National Park! It is only a 15 minute drive to the park and about 1 hour to the General Sherman Tree. The motel was amazing, super clean, super nice, and it is connected to nature. Staff was super helfpul and kind! I would recommend it 100% and wpuld definitely come back whenever I am back in the area.
