No Microwave, No fridge. Glad we had a cooler. Ate my leftovers cold. Can pay $10 to have laundry and kitchen access. Need a very long phone cord to reach the plug about 8 feet away. Shower is about the size of a camper but the hot water and pressure was amazing. Beds were bunk so be capable of climbing if you want to sleep on twin. Beds were soft and cozy. Towels were fluffy. Windows opened both in bathroom and bedroom for good cross breeze. Does have a small window unit AC. Watch your step in bathroom as flooring is coming up. Restaurant was great food and good people and cool atmosphere

My husband and I just celebrated our anniversary by staying at Gena's for our siquioa national park trip. I had read some reviews and decided to stay because everyone was saying great things, now that we experience it I can definitely agree, this place is very close to siquioa park, everything was awesome, A/C was working fantastic, the staff was so friendly and hospitable, the Food! Omg we couldn't stop complementing every bite! So much flavor, done to perfection and we shared one dish because the portions are big and we were full for a long time.they also have a bar and we did order all I gotta say is that the drinks did not disappoint either:) I'm definitely coming back on our next vacation and I recommend this place for everyone looking to stay close to the park:)

The staff were the nicest we could've ever hoped for. Made the poor judgement of driving into sequoia in a Tesla and were desperate for EV charging (none in the park), but these guys had a charger and were so kind as to let us use it. Alexis and Nancy were absolute angels. Naturally, we ordered some good as our car charged, the quesadilla was great! I had the French dip sandwich and it was a little salty for my taste but pretty good otherwise. Also really quick service.

Great place to stay but some improvements to be made ☺The Hunter's Lodge was excellent value. Having access to a well-equipped kitchen and a living room to watch movies at night was a real pleasure. The wifi works well and the parking for the Lodge was always easy. We felt we were close enough to both King's Canyon and Sequoia National Park for us to have rich and full days of exploration. The food at Bella Brooke Cafe was generally quite good, if a bit pricey. ☹The staff in the restaurant were not exactly friendly. Sometimes, the interactions were just awkward. As a resident guest, you get a discount on food but you have to remember to mention it each time. Of course, I occasionally forget to ask for my discount. I would have liked the opportunity to have an open tab to avoid this. Lastly, the $70 security deposit is NOT a credit card hold as it is everywhere else on the planet. Here, they charge you $70 and then you wait a few days after your stay to get a credit back to your card. In this financial age, charging cards and then having to process a charge back is a ridiculously unnecessary administrative process.

The rooms were very well priced for the size and condition we got. We stayed in the Hunter’s Lodge which is the size of a one bed room apartment with a full kitchen in it. Absolutely love that it is so close to both National Parks (Sequoia and Kings Canyon). Also, they are the only location close to these Parks with EV Charging. I was able to charge my vehicle overnight and experience the Parks without fear of running out of charge. The Inn is conveniently right next to the lodging and the food has a homemade quality with great diner like selections. I will be staying here again when I revisit these National Parks. PS the staff is very welcoming.

Really liked Gena’s and would stay there again if in the area. I ☺Clean. Easy to find. Convenient location and the restaurant in site was good and open later so hungry late arriving travelers got food! ☹The cabins don’t have private baths which wasn’t disclosed on booking.com however the location sent an immediate email because of this issue. Sadly I couldn’t get one of the rooms with a private bath despite booking.com “upgrading” me anyway. This is not the Inn’s fault in anyway and they were super nice when I talked to them to verify if they had rooms or not.

We stopped at Gina's Sierra Inn and Bella Brooke Café. The right food at the right time. We were coming out of a long day at King's Canyon. starved. This quirky sound of the road restaurant could be an institution or just a stop for weary travelers. For us it was an oasis of great food choices. I had a cheese steak that was supposed to be 6 ounces of meat and it had to be a pound. We had a hot dog, a quesedilla and a grilled cheese sandwich. The waitress said they are known for their fried chicken and pot roast. They also serve breakfast. Cool little funky place. Super crowded. Which is a good sign. Don't be afraid to stop.

☺We enjoyed our stay in the Claire Hodges room. We only slept there. There were 5 of us , and we all fit fine. The kids on the individuals. The restrooms and showers are better than what I thought. The downfall is that there is only one sink to wash your hands. So you have to wait. We also had a bit of trouble with opening the restroom with the code. Overall, it's better than what I expected. The price is not bad for what it is considering we all fit fine for one night. We would stay again if we were in the area again. We also had breakfast in the restaurant before heading up to Kings Canyon. The food was really good. My son even thanked them for his cheeseburger he said it tasted really good. , and their staff that day were amazing to us. ☹We had some trouble with the restroom door and its code to unlock.

It is not luxury but definitely a budget choice to stay next to the Sequoia park. ☺Location: It's very close to the west entrance of Sequoia park. And there's a grocery store and a gas station 2 miles away. Food: Bella Brooks cafe is a good place to feed yourself. Had dinner (Salmon plate) and breakfast (eggs, toast and smash browns), both are yummy. Wifi: free and fast! Cost: good value for the price ☹There should be some power plugs next to the bed. Lighting in the room could be brighter. The AC is blowing directly at the head of the bed and there's no way to adjust the air flow's direction. Right next to the CA-180, so it may be somewhat noisy. No bottled water or electric kettle. No hair dryer (but I always bring my own)

The place has a charming atmosphere, especially the ambiance, the staff, and the restaurant menu. It's also one of the few places to eat in the area. There's Wi-Fi and a TV. The air conditioning is located in the bathroom and is noisy. However, it can be turned off for the night; the ceiling fan was sufficient. A security deposit is required.

We had a bit of a mixed experience at Genas Sierra Inn and Restaurant on July 4th. We were able to get seated right away on the (dog-friendly!) patio. There was also plenty of seating inside, which had an old-school cabin-like vibe. All four of us ordered the Morro Rock Ribeye Steak, medium rare. Service was generally friendly, but our server was super young and a little nervous. I ordered a glass of red wine and she brought out a white, and they were definitely a bit thrown by my friend's request for an Old Fashioned. They did make a solid one though! The steaks took a while, which was fine since we weren't in a rush. Mine came out great! I liked the Montreal steak spice flavor and general preparation. Unfortunately, I seemed to get the only good steak of the bunch. The other 3 were very overcooked and under-seasoned. Otherwise though, we all enjoyed the veggie and baked potato sides. Would return to try a different menu item in the future!

The dinner and breakfast we had was very good. ☹The exit road from the chalet was hard to get out from even with the 4 wheel drive vehicle due to the sand and high incline.

Hotel with a relatively good location for visiting the parks ☺If you want a hotel to visit Sequoia National Park without staying inside, its location is quite good. It's even closer to Kings Canyon (20 minutes), but Sequoia is also within easy reach. ☹In our room, the fan was always running while the light was on; we didn't know how to turn it off with the lights on.

On a recent trip to Sequoia my friend Denise and i stayed here. When I booked the place I did so after consulting a few websites but not really diving into them, so I did not know what this place was about. I just knew it was rustic--- on theme for a woods-forward trip- and close to Sequoia. And I assumed it was, at its core, an inn in a town. When Denise and I arrived we discovered that what awaited us was different than what we expected- not in an extreme way, but, in a way that separated where we slept from where we had to shower. These two points were far enough that we would need to walk from our room to another structure. Not a far walk, but still a walk that felt inconvenient because we are city folk, not outhouse people, even if they are modernized. I do not know if I made it clear, Denise and I discovered that what I booked was a cabin with no bathroom and the bathroom was like a 10 to 15 feet walk to a modern outhouse that felt impossible to get to, especially in the black and cold of the night. Denise and I were introduced to our shed turn cabin at around 10::00 p.m. We quickly accepted that we did not have a typical inn room, I had opted for the green cabin. It was a form of glamping. The actual room was snug. She took the bed up that up a ladder, like the one one walks up when they have bunk beds. And I stayed on the bottom bed. The place had a table, hooks, the beds a tv mounted on a corner and not much else. It was a place to sleep, and watch tv while laying down on the bed, it was not much more. So when I call it a cabin, do not imagine a cabin in the woods with a fire, a bear rug, a couch with quilted cushions and a mounted elk on the wall. It literally was what I described before--- mostly a couple of beds with a shed built around it. I showered in the outhouse the next morning. It had two stalls with a toilet and three to four showers, with one out of order. I had stepped into the bathroom of mountain folk and as a vacation experience it slapped, if it were my regular life, I would miss the privacy and comfort of a city bathroom with its sturdy plumbing and opportunity for me to blast my beats as I shower. When I went inside my shower, I saw that the shower was not a shower-head mounted on a wall. Instead it was one of those shower heads that is like a hose. You can pick it up, and shower with it while you scrub yourself with one hand, and hold the shower head with the other. I did not fully understand how to change from old clothes to my new clothes, so I ended up wetting my new clothes. I left them in the corner of the shower, and I believed that the water from the shower hose would not get them, but it did. For those who think that they would have handled the situation better than I did, even thought it was their first time, like it was my first time, I say they are probably right. I tend to be clumsy and miss hooks, and not really think of clothes enough to protect them from hose water that can run wild. In this place, one has to prepare logistically to tackle a shower. When Denise and I woke up the next morning, we were able to see the expansive wood scenery that awaited us. It was precious and majestic and the pay-off of enduring the lack of city comforts. The place also had this patio area with fairies, they were ceramic of course, but maybe at a certain time of day they awake at least for seconds to tend to the woods so they keep green and strong. I sat there. Took pictures of the trees, through a netting roof, and at this moment knew I was in a rustic-wood dream sponsored by dust of fairies, and I was in a state of stiff calm that settled by a nymph's blessing. With the poetic stripped, the place offered me peace because I was surrounded with pronounced nature in the form of tall trees, dirt trails, a blue sky, and I was not in a rush. I could simply enjoy the blue, green and brown all around me, with ticks of the clock ignored. I guess that is the promise of a vacation in the woods fulfilled. There was also a cat that belonged to the place. It was peached colored and clipped in all its glory. I forgot its name. Denise and I took a short walk to the small clearing behind the inn. And the cat decided to nestle besides her. So this place also has another charming quality of a good inn: a permanent guest, of the feline persuasion, that always greets visitors with a purr and a paw. Those kind of touches transformed our wooden cabin in the woods, into a wooden cabin in the woods where we interacted with a four legged creation, not a moose or a bear, but still the spirit of nature's animals was all around us. I just re-saw the picture of the tall trees behind the netting roof and I felt the umph of nature's breeze hitting my inside again. The magic of the woods came home with us, great souvenir if you ask me!

Cute little Cafe in the way to or from the Sequoia nat'l park. The food looked amazing but we only bought coffee. It did take a bit to get the macchiato's but the ambiance & loudness of all the staff made it worth the wait. My son bought Misty's angel wings, which is a drink honoring a former manager who was killed in an accident in the way to work. God bless them & the family.

Bella Brooke cafe has breakfast, burgers, happy hour starting at 2 pm with BOGO appetizers. Very broad menu-they know their customer base of NP-extreme sports folks, plus locals! Our lunch was 5-star (Cali Fire burger and Bear Paw Patty Melt)-excellent! Great fries, too. Highly recommend.

Nice place to catch your breath and refuel. Food was quite good and service was great. There are musical instruments on the wall for patrons to play. And they have live music on the patio in the back occasionally.
