    Mold

    We booked a weekend at this place. It is 6 miles from the entrance to Sequoia so location is great. It is located right along the river Kaweah.. we stayed at cabin#7. Inside the cabin things look cozy until fiance went to use the shower and the shower curtain smelled like urine. There was mold at the bottom of the curtain. Cracks above the shower. This place isnt cheap $564 for 2 nights its not too much to ask for clean, non-smelly shower curtain. The room smelled like pine-sol I assume they wiped the place prior to our arrival.

    To be honest I was shocked to see low reviews. It was a very nice cabin to stay in, mostly for outdoors and beautiful scene. Inside did need some work but we are not picky at all, we were able to to cook all of our food there which was great. Spend most of the time outside and sitting on the back patio. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I was helped with anything I needed even though we did not need much. I would defiantly return

    Awesome little cozy cottage house. They provide chairs for outdoor seating to enjoy the river. A BBQ with utensils. Fire pit with chairs. Basic kitchen supplies provided. Easy after hours check in & out. Only negative is parking is tight for large vehicles. Pet Friendly to boot! Walking distance for food, brewery and markets. Would for sure stay here again.

    DO NOT STAY HERE! The bedding was dirty, dishes were dirty, porch was rotted out and collapsing, there was trash everywhere on the property, lightbulbs missing or out, porch light out, fire extinguisher missing, smoke detector inoperable, paint chipping, hole in wall, shower had black pubic hair in it, sheets weren't washed, TV kept cutting out, coffee was old and stale. I tried to reach the owner several times, so did Hotels.com, who I booked this reservation through, and he dodged all of our calls. I did, however, speak to a few locals in town who say this is an ongoing problem with this property. Also, the photos were very deceiving, as it is several hundred yards from the river, not right on it. I had my bank reverse the charges. Thankfully I had plenty of documentation and proof.

    I don't understand all the negative one star comments, maybe they're all older and management has stepped it up. Our stay was nothing but pleasant. The check in was quick, friendly, and easy. Our heater didn't work at first but a simple call to the staff got that problem fixed right away. Water pressure and temperature was great, room was clean, bed was fine. Fridge and microwave worked. That's all you need from a hotel. You really have one of the world most breath taking national parks an hour away, you should spend a very minimal amount of time inside your hotel. If your trip is ruined because of a minor inconvenience at your hotel, you need to re-evaluate your expectations. Give management a call and they will more than likely take care of whatever the problem is. Also bonus points because of the sweet cat that joined us for our bonfire (see picture)!

    *PET FRIENDLY* We stayed in Cabin #8 and holy moly, it exceeded our expectations. I was not expecting high vaulted ceilings and how spacious the property was. We were literally steps away from the river and it was exactly the peace and tranquility I was hoping for. Loved also that there was a heater, air conditioner, and a full kitchen to cook in. From previous recommendations, we packed extra blankets and tissue paper for our comfort and it changed everything. It felt like "our home" and we slept like babies. Overall amazing value for the price, location, and experience. · Only able to check in from 4 pm - 8pm seems like a really tight window. However, they do accommodate late check ins (you must first call them ahead of time!). Also, if we did not have our blankets, we definitely would have been cold and uncomfortable. I recommend bringing your own. Sure, there were a couple of damages in the property like paint chippings and incomplete outlets but hey, it's the woods! You can't expect pristine conditions. It never took away from our experience and we enjoyed every little bit of it.

    The overall area is great, the river was behind the cabins. But the room is accessible to insects and there was bed bugs, got bitten and itchy after I left. The refrigerator was giving freezer burn to my food that I had to throw away. Toilet was dirty. If it's last minute I guess its okay, but I personally may not come back.

    My spices worked well with beautiful river view through the window. Cooking was more fun!!

    I just came back from this wonderful place. Cabin#1 Managers were warm and nice. Place was very well maintained. There was everything I expected. The best thing was the location!

    This group of "Cabins" (really small motel-like rooms), according to their website, say: "The cabins are owned and operated by the Kaweah General Store & Lodging" A group of 3 other friends, me and our dog stayed there this past weekend because of it's proximity to Sequoia National Park. The cabins sound great on paper. However, in spite of the fact that some of the structures are new, they are neglected, as are the grounds of the operation. The location is fantastic - with the Kaweah river right behind. We rented 2 cabins. We wanted to be close to each other, but we were told that they didn't have 2 cabins that were close available. That was either an outright lie or the other guests didn't show up. Regardless, someone should have known and asked us if we wanted to move, which we would have because only one of the units had a full kitchen. We were in the room that didn't have a kitchen. Here's my feedback: 1. The bedding is scary. While the sheets smelled clean, the bedspread and matching top pillow cases were old and quite smelly. They needed to be replaced last year. 2. Cobwebs everywhere. 3. Our cabin room didn't have a screen on the window and guess what, it had to stay closed because there were too many bugs (mosquitos, flies, spiders, etc.). This seemingly simple thing - could have been easily fixed because we found out when we checked out - that they knew about it. Well, it ruined the trip because we couldn't enjoy the fresh air at night. 4. There's junk all over the property. My friend tripped over a twisted bunch of chicken wire! Luckily he didn't get cut - otherwise we would have been at the hospital getting him a tetanus shot. 5. The air conditioning unit was clearly rigged - and set to one fixed temp and the fan wouldn't switch off from automatic. 6. There's something happening with the septic system - because it stunk of waste every now and then. If you used any of the drains, they'd kick back a smell. 7. For the price, there should be daily maid service - but there isn't. 8. When we called -we were VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT THE WIFI. Oh, they have it but it only works in the first 3 cabins! My friends had it - we didn't - and we needed to get some work done while there. This was a major problem for us. LIARS. LIARS LIARS! Anyway, I don't recommend these cabins for the simple fact that there's no love here for the property and they lie about what's available (or not) for every unit. Honestly, for this kind of non-sense, the price should be half what it was. It's a shame really, because the place has potential.

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.
