The staff is super friendly and the lobby had light snacks and microwaveable foods (with a microwave, if needed) if you're looking for a quick bite. They are very strict about checking in, so don't expect to check in any earlier than 3:00. The rooms are simple, basic, everything works well. I think you're really there for the location, it's super convenient! No AC, but a fan and honestly the air is crisp at night to crack a window! You get free cookies in the morning and there's plenty of parking! Definitely check out all the trails while you're there.

This cabin met my demands! We stayed in a Grant Grove cabin for one night in mid-May (Tue. 05/17/22), with a rather last-minute reservation, about 3 weeks prior. As with our one-night Yosemite stay later that week, I'd really waited too long to reserve anything in the park, so I was also stalking their website daily until one of the cabins with it's own bathroom was available for our specific night. As I was booking, or maybe afterward, I realized this was the Honeymoon Cabin, though I'm not sure how this cabin differed from the others with private bathrooms aside from having only one bed. This cabin was fantastic! Roomy inside, with many screened windows, plus a seating area & desk, mini-fridge in the large closet nook, and a decent size bathroom, the cabin had a large front deck & a picnic table on the side. Our cabin also had a space heater that we actually used on this night with open windows (for air flow). This cabin was situated on a corner of the greater cabin area, near the parking lot, so our neighbors weren't super close (maybe THAT is part of why it's the Honeymoon Cabin?). Please see my separate review for the John Muir Lodge. That's where we checked in & spent time using the WiFi Tuesday night & Wednesday morning. The comfortable lobby offered many seating areas including tables for dining & working (I did both), as well as cushioned couches & chairs in seating groups around the large fireplace. A small selection of snacks & beverages were available at reasonable prices, and a water-bottle fountain (like at airports) was near the bathrooms. This area also had a gift shop & restaurant, but separate from the John Muir Lodge. I want to mention that in addition to the Redwood trees here, the pinecones & squirrels are also oversized. Not a little bigger, but A LOT. And, at least in mid-May, the ladybugs were swarming. It was quite magical. TL;DR: I loved this cabin. I loved this National Park. I want to go back.

One of the few places to stay within the park on the Grant Grove side. We got a tent cabin, which…read moreis kinda like a yurt, with wooden, cabin like walls and a canvas top. The room was larger than expected, clean enough and equipped with plenty of towels for two plus two thin extra blankets. I was pretty cold the first night (mid Sept) , even dressed in layers, but it's not so bad if you have someone snuggled up next to you (though they are double beds, so could be a bit cramped). Could definitely improve by providing heavier blankets during colder months. Privacy and proximity to the bathroom/showers was good. No electricity didn't bother us, and they provide free mini lanterns at the Lodge.

A friend and I made last minute plans to visit sequoia/kings canyon for Memorial Day. We wanted…read moreaccess to both parks and saw that Cyndi's was in a perfect location. Luckily they had a room available for us. On our way up, we decided to explore sequoia before checking in. After a few hours in the park, it was getting late so we decided to make our way to the hotel. We called to see if there were any restaurants nearby or if we should look for something closer to where we were. Cyndi answered the phone and offered to call all of the places in town to see what was open for us! That was just the first example of many of how Cyndi and her staff treated us like family during our stay. Cyndi and Robert hung out with us while we were at the hotel. They were both very entertaining and kept us laughing. Robert even pulled out some magic tricks for us! If you're looking to stay in the ritz Carlton, you may want to look elsewhere. If you want a place at a perfect location for access to sequoia and kings canyon national park and with some of the friendliest people on earth, I can't recommend this place enough!

From the moment we rolled in, we relaxed our breath into the cradling caring arms of Cyndi's Snowline Lodge. Natural darkness descending around us- Robert was quick to invite us into the warmly lit communal lodge area, which was brimming with personality. He showed us a fun silverware balancing bar trick, while Lucky the dog, looked on with heavy lidded amusement. We were the only ones staying at the lodge that night. Our room was darling and clean and smelled fresh. The wi-fi was working well. We slept unbelievably well. Showering was a dream in the morning with strong hot water pressure. Cindi brought us up fresh squeezed orange juice and invited us down for a hot lovingly made breakfast spread - which included hot waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, and light potatoes. We also indulged in wondrous coffee and an impressive selection of tea. Cindy even had Pink Himalayan Salt on hand for us to adorn our food - which we indulged in both there and on our backpacking adventure. Cyndi and the rest of the loving folk who help run this charming lodge take immense care and pride in making sure that all those who stay here feel welcomed and taken care of. They go out of their way to make everyone's stay both memorable and comfortable. We can't wait to come back to Cyndi's Snowline Lodge. Trust.

We got rooms 2 and 3 which are in two separate little buildings, separated by the communal kitchen area and picnic table. The rooms were a good size and very clean (and the beds were remarkably comfy!!). As far as $$ goes, The Apple Place is clearly the best deal around. The price for both rooms together was cheaper than one room in any hotel or other rental in the area. Such an excellent value. Perfect for hikers that need a place to stay before or after a long hike -- or while they are attempting to get permits for a backpacking trip (like us!). Judy (owner and lives on site) was extremely nice and she clearly takes care to make this place comfortable and enjoyable for her guests. There was coffee available for the morning, which was much appreciated. Only negative is that it can get hot in the rooms during summer. We stayed there in August. It was ~95 outside and the rooms had no A/C. It cooled off nicely at night though, so sleeping was still comfortable.

As soon as I got there Marcell at the front desk said hello and asked me how my day was, she was very friendly.

Nice lobby, nice common areas, rooms are clean, they have a mini fridge and coffee maker, beds are comfy. The bathroom had a nice glass shower and tile. This property also has a small outdoor pool, mini business center, a meeting room, free parking with a large lot, an excellent gym (more on that) and of course complimentary breakfast. Speaking of breakfast, Nora is a one woman show and did an amazing job. The eggs, potatoes and sausage were on point. She does the whole spread from the waffles to the yogurt and everything in between, thank you. The gym I must mention and I wish all Hilton's would mimic the setup here. The gym is pretty big, various cardio equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, a rowing machine and a Peloton bike.). They have two benches, free weights up to 75 pounds, a multifunction weight machine, a few kettle bells and stretching equipment. I was so happy, I really like to have a nice complete gym and will choose hotels because of it. Very happy with my stay here and when traveling back up in that area will for sure stay here. Enjoy!
