The place was a stand-alone facility which we liked. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the surroundings were absolutely beautiful. It was a little cold at night with no heater turned on yet since we were there in early October just before they turn on the heater for the season. I had some trouble taking shower in a rather small stall. But we will consider staying there again next time we travel to the area.

Perfect stay in a quirky place

A warm welcome (especially from the cat!) extremely comfy beds and just the right mix of old world charm and modernity. Perfectly positioned for the Sequoia national parks and some great restaurants and local facilities nearby!

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!
