Sequoia Lodge

Sequoia Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We had a good stay and enjoyed our interactions with the staff. Everything was very convenient and well thought out. They even have a fish cleaning station. The river is right in the back and very peaceful. The only complaint would be the bed. it feels like a large cardboard box stuffed with a few bales of hay. very uncomfortable. The manager was exceptional!"
