Loved my stay at this super cute ranch motel. Bed was a bit dated and fairly creaky, but otherwise the room was perfect for my needs as a base camp for visiting Sequoia NP. Already planning to stay here again sometime.

We were given the wrong accommodations. We ordered a king bed and given (2) beds? The beds were very uncomfortable to sleep on.
There was a spider crawling on the wall by the window.
The heating was a potable heater? Really?
The shower got really hot then immediately turn ice cold?

Amazing place to stay when visiting the Sequoia National Park! It is only a 15 minute drive to the park and about 1 hour to the General Sherman Tree. The motel was amazing, super clean, super nice, and it is connected to nature. Staff was super helfpul and kind! I would recommend it 100% and wpuld definitely come back whenever I am back in the area.
