Rooms have 2 queen beds, A/C and private shower. Nice towels for a lodge. The snack bar had more than just hamburgers and hot dogs. Breakfast very nice with all basics. Lunch not served when we were there. Dinner between 5-7 pm (get there before 6:15) was an adequate choice of grilled chicken breast, trout or pork chop with starch (rice, baked potato, fries), daily vegetable, salad or soup for $16--and not bad! Wish they would extend their hours from 7am-8pm so you have an adequate amount of time for hiking, etc. The King River flows in front and is a spectacular serenade to put you asleep. The gift shop also has an adequate market and offers bags of ice as well as cubes. Down side was the bridge was out.

When you drive up, you see it's just a small building...store and snack bar/grille on the first floor, and rooms on the second floor. But the rooms were clean and the beds comfortable, and there is a terrace that overlooks the Kings River as it rushes by. The "restaurant", which is really just a snack bar/grille was actually pretty good. They have a Campfire Program each evening over at one of the campgrounds, which was fun, although you have to get there on your own....no shuttle of any kind here. The park is beautiful!

I made my reservation for Thursday night on Monday night over the internet. The price was right. Check in is 4pm which worked perfectly for me. I arrived about 10:00am and went for a bike ride up to Grants Grove Village and back in the 90F heat. Got back at 4:30, check-in was easy and fast. The desk personnel are helpful and nice. The 'Cedar Grove Village' consists of this single 2 story building. Ground floor had the store and front desk on the front, the snack bar and deck on the back. 18 rooms on the top floor with a nice deck overlooking the Kings River. The room was fine. The beds very comfortable. The air conditioning was very much appreciated.

The patio rooms were under the ground floor.

The snack bar was better than I expected, and I took Dinner, Breakfast, and Lunch there. Dinner was fried trout with baked potato, grilled vegetables, and I got cream of asparagus soup, which after my ride was very welcom.

The clerk in the store was very helpful, and I discovered that for $1.43 out the door, you can buy a premium ice cold beer. General Sherman IPA was a local brew, that I selected from the many choices.

I woke up rested an refreshed at 7:20 am and had a nice breakfast with 2 eggs, sausage and cottage fries. very tasty. Checked out and drove to Roads End by 9:30 for a nice hike to Mist Falls. Saw 3 cubs and caught a glimpse of Mama bear on the trail as shed was shredding a log.
Had the trail pretty much to myself.

Lots more people as I came back. Got back to the car at 1pm and drove to Cedar Grove for a nice lunch.

The room was okay, not terrific. We got a patio room. Patio was terrific!

The company's policies are onerous and irrational, mostly in regards to the laundry facility which closes at 7pm. Employees are semi- interested in providing service. Stuff doesn't work. The ATM was broken during our entire three-day stay. Land-line phones were down. Internet didn't work. We could not get a receipt when we checked out.

The place is perfectly situated, but the management is clueless of how to run it. The same company runs the Grant Grove Lodge. For more details on inept management, see my comments on Grant Grove.
