So let me tell you about this place, its not big, its not fancy, but its exactly what you want when you need a weekend getaway to Sequoia National Park (SNP)! I was in Bakersfield for work, and because of the schedule, I was going to have to stay over the weekend. I decided to take advantage of that and wanted to get out of town. I decided to visit the park, and started looking for a place to stay. I found KPR on Travelocity, and they had a great rate, plenty of pictures and it looked like a good fit.
Its about a 2 hour drive, and I planned my arrival for just after check in time (3pm), they even called me to check on my arrival so they could make sure everything was ready, and let me know I could come anytime I wanted because my cabin was ready. I arrived and I was greeted by Heather and Sherri. These two ladies are what makes this place above and beyond! They were friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and just a pleasure to talk too. They gave me some great recommendations on restaurants (ol' buckaroo in Three Rivers, CA is EXCELLENT gourmet food on the Kaweah River). They gave me a laundry list of sties to see in the park, made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.
After I checked into my cabin, which was clean, and well maintained I decided that I actually wanted to stay an extra day, Sherri worked her magic and after a little bit of a shuffle, she got me another night at a great rate, I just had to jump down 2 cabins, no problem I said! The second cabin was just as clean and nice as the first. KPR has several very nice cabins, not fancy mind you, but I wasn't looking for fancy, a clean bathroom and a comfortable bed was all I wanted.
They do offer WiFi, its not blazing fast, but I was there to unplug and relax, all I needed was enough to call my wife at the end of the day (T-mobile had no service at all in Three Rivers, and my Verizon work phone was spotty at best, but that is not what I was there for, the restaurant I mentioned before ol' buckaroo has great WiFi, so I just checked in with social media and called home at dinner).
I spent all day Saturday in the Park and when I got back I regaled Sherri and Heather with my adventures, and they patiently listened with a smile (I'm sure they hear it all the time :) ), but you wouldn't know it to watch them! I ordered some firewood for the evening, which Heather delivered with a smile!
The view from the camp is wonderful, a river that runs down one side of the park provides a relaxing sight and a pleasant sound, volleyball courts, and a small beach on the river, overall a great place to stay, turned into an amazing weekend away by Heather and Sherri!
Thanks again ladies for a great impromptu weekend getaway!!!
