If you are looking for a ritzy place, this is not for you. BUT if you love nature, satisfied with the basic necessities, then you will love this place. We stayed in the Alta cottage and enjoyed a wonderful deckwith lounge chairs and BBQ, full kitchen with all the cooking utensils you need, comfortable/clean rooms, and got to listen to the sound of the river which was neat. You could actually go across the street to the Pumpkin Bridge and view a beautiful river. There is AC in the rooms since it gets pretty warm outside. Also you may find a moth that flies in the room, but hey you are in nature, so that is what you should be expecting anyways. I would definately come back again!

My husband and I stayed at the Inn in the Falcon room with our two year old son. It was such a beautiful room...clean and private! We could hear the river rushing the whole time whether we were on the huge balcony or in the comfy bed. The kitchen is newly remodled and has anything and everything you could need...except a wine opener. The resturant down below across the street was wonderful great food, service and environment. They had a guy singing with his acoustic guitar...very nice! I would recomend this Inn and Resturant in a heart beat! Great place for an anniversary...very peacful, relaxing and romantic!!!Our son loved it because the resturant was right on the river which was rushing...and there were cute ducks below us that we got to feed and he loved that! We're going back next month...it was amazing!

My wife and I have been frequenting the Buckeye Tree Lodge every year since the early nineties. It's across the road from the S-V Inn, right on the river, and our favorite getaway spot -- only 210 miles from LA, a 3.5-hour drive. This was the first time we came with friends and stayed in the cabins (Glacier). Fabulous, cozy, tastefully decorated, and sweetly tucked away in the forest. Couldn't be any better. You can still hear the sound of water flowing over giant granite rocks nearby. Both resorts are charming. We recommend the rooms of the Lodge on the river for those couples who like to bask in the back patio and watch the river or walk 20 seconds to get to the water. The S-V Inn is on the hill up above, and much better for larger groups, some with multiple bedrooms. We like them both and keep coming back. In late March or early April you can experience two seasons at the same time: spring, with a plethora of flowers and colors in bloom where both lodges are located, and winter, only 16 miles up the road, a mere 40-minute drive to about 7000 feet in elevation, and tons of snow everywhere. The only place where those 2000-year-old giant sequoias thrive.We strongly recommend Sequoia Village Inn and Buckeye Tree Lodge any time of year. The crew is friendly, flexible, welcoming, and helpful. The landscape is just amazing. There is no place else like it on this earth.

People are funny here - they complain about the wires overhead and the lousy carpeting, and rickety toilet seat, and not wanting to cook in the cabin kitchens, etc. This isn't Aspen, for goodness' sake.
Sequoia Village Inn is awesome. Every cabin is unique - my dog and I stayed in the smallest one but they come in all sizes and shapes. It's very pretty here, and is right on the threshold of the park. The views are awesome, everyone is friendly and in a good mood because they know they found somewhere special to stay. Yes, it's rustic but it's the wilderness. If you have a big family, some of their bigger cabins are truly KAPOW! big and like something right out of an Amy Grant Christmas special.
Great place for solo travelers, couples, and big families, as the cabins are so varied in price, style, and design. It is a wonderland of masonry & intimacy. I would like to return with my family and rent out one of the two story cabins . . . best of all, you are surrounded by nature and a pebble's throw from the entrance to Sequoia National Park.
