"The lodge is in a beautiful location in Sequoia NP and really convenient to trails and popular park areas. You can't beat the setting --even the walk from the building we stayed in to the main lodge was a peaceful stroll through the woods. If you're sensitive to heat, maybe ask for a room on the first floor--our second floor room got really warm in the afternoon although it was cool enough to sleep at night with dans running. The lodge restaurant and the pizza deck were both great and their cocktails were delicious and interesting (especially the gimlet)."
"John Muir Lodge is in an unbeatable location in Kings Canyon NP, with trails accessible right outside your door. Our room was clean and comfortable and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The pillows were comfy, the shower was glorious, and the lounge is a cozy place to drink coffee in the morning. However! Please know going in that there is only one restaurant available for all lodge guests, campers, and day visitors, and they are super understaffed (not their fault). The restaurant staff we interacted with were incredibly kind, patient, and friendly despite people getting frustrated and behaving in really gross, rude, entitled ways. Please bring your patience and most considerate manners when you visit. It's a remote location with minimal amenities, not Disneyland. If you have the right expectations and are here to appreciate the beautiful park, you'll love it."
"Location was convenient for access to the park, restaurants and local shopping.
Room was clean. Pool looked nice but we didn’t use it. Breakfast area was crowded, but understandable because the hotel was booked full, breakfast was average, nothing negative to say. Would stay again if we come back through."
Ponderosa Cabin ~ rustic comfort + WiFi by Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks
10/10 Excellent
"Staying at this property was a major highlight of our vacation. It was perfect for our needs and beautifully furnished and equipped for a great stay. The host and local caretaker were fantastic."
"Great check in with a very nice host. The deck was nice with a grill to cook. It did get very hot inside but the AC was able to cool it down after a few hours being inside."
"My wife and I rented this lovely little cabin for 3 nights and would have loved to stay 3 more. The history is super cool and there are a bunch of items and memorabilia on the walls relating to the cabin making for a really unique experience. Don’t expect it to feel like a modern hotel room. It’s rustic and as original to its 100 year old roots as it can be. If you like the rustic though you’ll love this place. We saw a group of about 12 turkey waddle through the yard, spotted a deer walking through too, saw many beautiful birds and heard even more. Not to mention there is a restaurant right across the street. You really can’t beat this place."
"The best thing about this motel is the location; almost right to the gate of Sequoia National Park. You are paying a premium purely for the convenience of driving into the park within minutes, rather than spending an hour commuting from a larger town.
However, lower your expectations. It’s a true motel, nothing more. The rooms are dated, and the amenities are bare-bones. Come for the convenience, but don't expect a resort experience."
"Rustic cabin with all the amenities and comfort you’d need in the mountains. Especially good for children who can manage the steep stairs to the bedrooms and bath upstairs. Very comfortable and easy to find."
