Sequoia Village

10/10 Excellent
"Recently stayed at this hotel. The hotel itself is 4 miles from the base of Sequoia National Park. It's also conveniently located close to town with different restaurants, shops, etc to enjoy. The establishment had lots of perks (free laundry, game room, nice deck to sit out and lots of outdoor seating, as well as a trail along the water.) The rooms were clean and comfortable. The front desk staff were helpful from start to finish and were good at accommodating to two separate changes I needed to make to my stay. Parking onsite is free. The only cons were the bathrooms were small and the water pressure in the facility was not good. Price was pretty comparable to what I saw in the area. If I was in the area, I would come back for the customer service alone."

Sequoia Haven Hole - Whimsical Earthberm FairyTale, Riverfront. 1 min to Sequoia

10/10 Excellent
"This place was magical! First of all, the location is awesome, the private river access was so relaxing to sit out and listen to at night but also take a dip to cool down after a long day of hiking. Bring your water shoes though! It's also right outside the Sequoia Park entrance which was extremely convenient. The house itself is so fun, the decoration was so beautiful! Plenty of great amenities to make our stay comfortable, including laundry! Bonus, the wifi worked very well! The host was very accommodating and helpful with anything we needed.We took advantage of the EV charging which was great because there are not any public chargers available nearby so we were able to go into the park everyday with a full charge! It's not free but I felt the price was fair, make sure you budget accordingly."
