Montecito Lodge is a peaceful, rustic stay near Kings Canyon. The location is beautiful, staff are friendly, and meals are hearty. Rooms are simple but clean—don’t expect luxury, but it’s perfect if you want comfort and nature in one place.
I was delighted by the copious buffet of lovely food for all meals, the small lake perfect for a swim and jacuzzi to ease sore muscles.
The rooms are basic but ok..
We had lovely time at this lodge, the staff is very friendly especially Mr Knucles who works on various outdoor activities. My kids had a great time here, would definitely like to come back. Hope the approach road becomes better.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The cabins need some TLC, the food is med but the location and views make up for it.
Nice staff. Lodge had plenty of food and drinks. Food was good. Room was fairly clean. We did not swim but we did canoe at no extra charge. Lodge had plenty of board games. The beds were a little hard and the wall heater made the room warm.
Montecito Sequoia Lodge is a solid 4-star experience, but it’s important to set expectations—this isn’t a luxury hotel. What it does offer is excellent value for its location inside Sequoia National Park, about 40 minutes from the park’s main attractions.
The lodge provides unique perks such as complimentary access to a private lake with canoes and paddleboards. Breakfast is very good, and dinner is solid as well. Overall, it’s a great deal for those who prioritize location, activities, and value over high-end amenities.
What a gem! Property has a beautiful lake where you can canoe, paddle board, kayak, etc. Buffet was great and they offer 24/7 access to buffet leftovers, snacks, and things like cereal, toast, bagels, drinks, etc. Lodge was wonderful!!!

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
At first impression we were disappointed by the detoured road through rough terrain. Upon arrival we were expecting a more modern facility' after checking into our room, we decided to take a walk around the grounds and the lake before dinner, the area was relaxing and had many amenities available. Dinner was amazing with a choice of Salmon or skirt steak... incredible...great food with all the a compliments, Great job" overall we had a very enjoyable stay" just like staying in an awesome Boy scout camp, staff were all fantastic.
The property was reminiscent of youth camping programs with delightful staff. The available activities, food, lake and sunrise views, were also a plus. Definitely will recommend.
Unique place to stay! All meals included!! Tennis courts, a lake, paddle boards and canoes its like a Summer camp
