"Definitely worth the stay at the lodge because it takes about an hour to get into the park due to speed limit ranging 10 mph to 25 mph due to VERY curvy roads up and down a mountain. With staying at the lodge you’re within short driving distances to your destinations of where you want to visit in the park. Like the General Sherman Tree parking lot is only a 6 minute drive from the Lodge. So very convenient for us and the kids. The rooms are fine and worked for us but are outdated. But we’re not here for modern fancy rooms and such since we’re here to explore the beautiful breathtaking Sequoias, mountains, streams/falls and views. It works out since shoes get dirty fast. They have a restaurant here that does breakfast, lunch and dinner. Best to make a reservation for dinner which they mention when you check in. They also have a cute little gift shop that also has a small section of food like bread, peanut butter & jelly, ramen noodle packs/cups, personal cereal cups and even have half gallon milk in the fridge along with other things. But I would recommend stocking up at the store before entering the park because it’s pricey for each item here whereas the stores you’d get your moneys worth for the quantity. But again, it’s very nice to have for convenience incase anything happens or you forgot! Gift shop is only open 8am-8pm though. Overall definitely worth it and the staff is beyond helpful and friendly. We loved it and I would recommend if you’re here for a few days."

"Great spot to rest if you’re visiting Sequoia. The place next door is cool, has decent dining options and the staff is helpful and knows the area. It covers the basics, nothing fancy, but everything is clean and in good shape."

"Little Gem away from civilization with comfort and amenities of modern society. Beautiful fall scenery."

"Beautiful location. Super close to Sequoia National Park. The bar was fun and festive. "

"Great location for spending time in Sequoia Park Very spacious and clean, everything worked. Wonderful views from inside the cabin."

" Thanks for the support that the ladies over there gave to us last week with our cabin code Expedia supposed to sent it to us but we never get the code for access our cabin at night. "

"My spouse and I stayed at this property....husband was a bit skeptical about staying in a geodesic dome, but this awesome experience won him over. The dome was spotless, beautifully decorated to complement the natural surroundings. Everything we needed was provided...especially extra blankets and heaters because wife is always cold!! There was even a wood stove with long-burning log provided to accentuate the ambience. This was such a cool place....I hope we can return in the future. Location is great....just a few miles from Sequoia NP."

"A great place to stay for two people. Peaceful and quiet, day and night. "

"We struggled with the lock box, but everything after that was amazing! The hosts were very responsive when we were struggling with the lock box. The cabin is so cozy and has so much character. Highly recommend if you’re wanting to enjoy Sequoia National Park and star gaze!"
