The hotel

Set amongst the shaded dappled groves of Sequoia National Park, Wuksachi provides an elegant approach to accommodation with a full-range of modern fixtures and fittings to compliment the sublime surrounding scenery. Throughout the lodge you'll discover rich strains of cedar and stone which have been placed to make the most of the enchanted environment, with floor to ceiling windows and snug fireplaces maximising an array of enduring natural images. A full-service restaurant allows guests to prepare for the day ahead, or recount events during the evening, over a plate of sumptuous Sierra Alpine cuisine; and just before you hit the hay there's a handy cocktail lounge for just one last cheeky nightcap. What with all that fine food and fresh forest air, getting a good night's rest is never in doubt and thanks to a good choice of hotel standard en-suite guest rooms, there's no better place to recuperate in order to do it all again at sun rise.

Might be the best option inside Sequoia? I don't know, but for the price point this resort felt a bit past its prime and in need of refurbishment, especially in the rooms themselves.

Might be the best option inside Sequoia? I don't know, but for the price point this resort felt a bit past its prime and in need of refurbishment, especially in the rooms themselves. As others have noted, getting your luggage from car to the room is a bit of a hassle, getting a trolley and pushing it up a hill full of luggage, then walking the luggage up additional stairs if you're on the 2nd floor (as we were). After a long day of hiking it was a total bummer experience. Would be nice if they let you drive your car to the access road behind the rooms to load/unload luggage. The room itself had a very musty smell, and we wondered if it was a smoking room in the past as it smelled like that. Anyway, it was comfortable enough, but dreary. Had a decent dinner in the resort restaurant (berry salad A+++) with pleasant staff, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the employees were less than happy working there (especially when compared to other resorts we stayed at on this road trip through California).

If you are going to stay in Sequoia National Park, then you must stay at the Wuksachi Lodge! You won't be disappointed. Beautiful location, with views in all directions. The main lodge does not seem to have any guest rooms. There are 3 separate buildings, just a short walk away. Parking lots are close and luggage carts are provided. Rooms are a bit typical of National Park hotels, ie. dated, but clean. We had a Keurig, fridge, plenty of pillows. I think the mattress might be a bit on the older side as the frame/mattress creaked when you got in and out of bed. Bathroom was adequate but somewhat small. Lotions, shampoo and hairdryer provided. We also had a couch and armchair in our room. The Lodge has a somewhat small lobby area, with a wood burner. There's a couple of couches and chairs but the lobby area needs to be a bit bigger. There's also a good sized gift shop also offering some basic snacks and drinks. Wuksachi Lodge shines in a big way for the high standard of food provided! We ate breakfast and dinner there a number of times and the food was really really good and prices very reasonable. Breakfast can be buffet or a la carte. All the staff we encountered were outstanding in their service and attention to detail. They were friendly and they seemed happy in their jobs! Small, but great touch - your restaurant bill is always accompanied with a postcard or two of Sequoia! Highly recommend! Read less

We loved the cosy main lodge and easy to access our room which was just nearby. The room was well equipped and comfortable. Superb food at the restaurant and friendly staff. We enjoyed the whole experience. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys forestry and wildlife

The rooms were large and comfy. The largest problem is you have to carry your suitcases up 25 steps on a dirt covered path to get to the building. Then if you are on the third floor like us you have 3 more floors to go up. Great location and restaurant in lodge was very good.

This was our first visit to this part of the country. Beautiful lodge surrounded by gorgeous scenery! We had a spectacular time here. The staff were outstanding and made us feel so welcome. The rooms were super clean and had everything we needed. The food in the restaurant was sooooo good. It was awesome to stay within the park at such a nice place. So much better than staying outside the park and having to make that long drive. I would recommend the lodge to anyone going to Sequoia or Kings Canyon! Read less
