    We just spent two nights here in the Columbine Cabin and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was very clean and comfortable with a large deck and a kitchen. The staff is friendly and helpful. It is in a great location very close to the beautiful Kaweah River. The Gateway Restaurant is across the street from the cabins and it serves delicious food with wonderful views of the river. i highly recommend the Buckeye.

    Happy Valentine's weekend!

    This is the closest you can stay if you are going to visit Sequoia National Park. They have cabins and rooms with various party sizes and have views to the Kaweah River. Cabins have a kitchen and the rooms have a microwave and refrigerator. Since I booked very last minute I got room 10, two queen beds good for four people. The room and parking is in front of highway 198. When I booked the room, there was a hold and a day prior to my arrival I received a call from them and they charged my credit card. Due to Covid, they have contactless check-in. The room keys were outside the office and my name was on there with an envelope. While I understand there is Covid, this could be unsafe as well as anyone could take a key. They also do not provide housekeeping during your stay. Now, room 10. As I mentioned it is two queen beds with comfortable bedding. There is a heating/air conditioning unit, perfect for anytime of the year you visit. There are extra blankets in the closet if needed. It was so cute, they provided a small snack basket with fruit, some juices, and sweets for Valentine's Day. The room has some whole coffee beans (something you don't see in hotels) and tea. Anything to get you through the morning. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here and would highly recommend staying here.

    We arrived this afternoon and are sitting on our patio watching the river. Room is small but spotless. Coffee beans and grinder provided. Dog friendly. WiFi. We love it already. Friendly staff. Helped shlep out stuff.

    This is the door to the bathroom. My backpack is 14" across. Will you fit through this door?

    Dreadful, dilapidated, posted photos are misleading. IMO this place is a tear down old motel on a prime piece of real estate. The location is wonderful. Closest spot to the park, river view, hoot owls at night. Tiny dump decorated by garage sale and $200.00 a night. How big are you? I'm tall and slender. I placed my small Costco backpack in front of the 20" wide bathroom door. Open the door, squeeze in around tiny door and try to get to toilet tucked in the corner. If you're a BIG person?? I can't imagine you'd fit. The Comfort Inn is a far better choice.

    What a cute place with a great location! Just by the park and next to a river (which I cooled off in after the parks) and pools. Nice ppl, great COVID safety, staff consistently wear masks. My SO and I have been stuck at home not only because of COVID but also because we are caring for my Dad who is a 90 year old cancer patient going through immunotherapy. Of course just as we were leaving, we heard about the booster shot for him. So while trying to relax I was calling his doctor, touching bases with my sister in another county to see if they could take him (the process was different there), so I thought I'll print the self attestation and take him right when I picked him up on my way back. I thought, let me see if I can print it here at the Buckeye...front desk was soooo accommodating, friendly and printed it and brought it to my room. This helped me so much!! This endeared me to this place even more!! The room was spacious, nice cork floor. Wonderful air conditioning, a place to eat. Fridge, microwave, and you guys: coffee pot, coffee beans and a grinder! It is eco friendly and in this drought I love that. The only thing I would say is if you are fairly fluffy (we are trying to work on it) ask for the pool towels as they are larger. (Super nice they provide them because it was helpful fir the pool too!) And be aware there are only stairs if you can't do stairs for whatever reason stick to the first floor.

    Contactless check in and out!!!! Very creative! :)

    The place is very nice and peaceful!! You can hear the river 24/7. Just dont forget to bring deep woods off spray cause of course there's a lot of insects hehehe but thats the thrill and adventure right?? All in all the rooms are clean. The bathroom is clean. And the kitchen?!?! Oh my! My! My! Clean! They even have dish washing liquid, sponge, pans, utensils, plates, coffee grinder, coffee maker, fridge, microwave, electric fan, walk in closet.. what else... hair dryer!! They have dvds and books to borrow too!! Too bad Sequoia park was closed when we visited cause of the snow storm. So we stayed in the cabin for 3 days and 2 nights and it was worth it!!! Very homey!! We are usually very picky when it comes to staycations but this one's very cozy and even at night, you wont get scared. DONT FORGET TO LOOK AT THE PICS YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED :)

    Beautiful place

    My husband and I stayed here at the beginning of October and had an amazing time! We visited sequoia but honestly we enjoyed our stay at buckeye lodge more than sequoia. Amazingly relaxing, beautiful view, clean room, coffee machine in room, dvds and games available. You can even hear the river from the room its beautiful. Seconds away from sequoia national park entrance. We highly recommend going during October, the weather was perfect.

    Across the street.  The rushing water.  So incredible and beautiful.  The price is right.  Lush accommodations.  For a cabin.

    O MG GORGEOUS And The SERVICE WAS Awesome! Stayed in Alta cabin. Was so incredible! Staff was friendly and helpful. Best dang vacation rental property ever! Worth it. The Best Thank you ladies!

    We stayed at the Lazy J Ranch motel as a base camp for exploring Sequoia NP. The main entrance to…read morethe park is only a few minutes up the road. While the rustic vibe might not be for everyone, we had an enjoyable stay. We reserved a stand alone cottage and it was the absolute perfect fit for our family. Having a kitchen and no adjoining walls is a lifesaver with a 14 month old. The room was clean and was even serviced (beds made, fresh towels) every day which I wasn't expecting. The kitchen had everything we needed utensils and (basic) cooking wise - stove, microwave, pots and pans, etc. The AC worked great at keeping the room cool (it was 100* outside), blinds were all functional, and the ceiling fan delighted our son. We were located directly across from the pool and I worried it would be loud with other guests after our son went down but you couldn't hear anything. All the other guests were friendly and respectful. We enjoyed sitting outside our cottage in the Adirondack chairs with a glass of wine when our son went to bed. We also enjoyed saying hi to the goats and sheep (we didn't notice any noise or smell and the pens were directly behind our cottage), but didn't make it down to the river. We would definitely choose to stay here again as it was convenient, comfortable and clean.

Perhaps adding a small desk lamp might be the solution. 2) we did not find the bed comfortable. 3) the a/c unit rattled every time it ran.

The "jacuzzi" is more of a bubbly hot tub, which was relaxing after a hike in the nearby forest. The tub in our room had a nicely sloped back, making it easy to recline for a long soak. Breakfast buffet is adequate with the usuals: scrambled eggs, breakfast meat, make-your-own waffles, yogurt, fruit, and juice. I'm not picky about coffee, but I walked next door for a better cup of joe. Rooms are exactly what you'd expect from a budget hotel -- not glamorous, but clean, with a comfortable bed and a newer TV. Standard channels only; I didn't see options for streaming from a laptop (no obvious HDMI/streaming hookups). Customer service earns an A+. Our first room had only warm water (not hot enough for a proper post-hike soak). Maintenance came up promptly and agreed, and the front desk offered us a different room immediately. We moved and enjoyed a hot soak and shower right away. Not a romantic getaway spot, but a dependable, affordable choice if you're traveling with kids or want a clean, comfortable place to stay

Comfort Inn & Suites Sequoia Kings Canyon is a fine choice, if you come into this, knowing it's not anything special. You're basically staying here due to its close proximity to the entrance of Sequoia National Park, which is a win. When planning our hiking trip around the area, we always look for where we can stay that's not far from where we're hiking. Three Rivers seems to be one of the best towns you can stay in when visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon, making it closer than larger cities, but the lodging options will be more slim. I get that. We were able to find Comfort Inn & Suites Sequoia Kings Canyon, which is the only hotel chain in town and was busy the weekend we were here. It's a standard Comfort Inn that's minimal and you enter your room from the outside, not a lobby. Nothing fancy, but it works. Pros: powerful AC, mini fridge in room, HBO, breakfast included, perfect location Cons: ants in the room, unkept building, flimsy mattress
