Stony Creek Lodge

More rustic than we thought, but completely adequate and super convenient to both Sequoia and Kings Canyon NPs. Our room was clean and very quiet each night. The included breakfast was very good with lots of hot and cold options. The entryway to the lodge is also a lobby where guests tended to congregate and everyone was very friendly and conversations happened naturally - totally unlike a commercial hotel. The staff members we encountered were super helpful and friendly. Price initially felt a bit steep for a rather dated room, but the charm of this place outweighs that, plus the home-like feel of sharing travel stories with other guests was great. We definitely recommend, and would stay here again.

Great location for exploring Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks! The rooms were simple, but clean and comfortable. Stony Creek Lodge (for overnight guests), includes a hot (and cold) breakfast and a nice lounge / sitting area. The Lodge / Resort also has a great little camp store and a gas station for anyone in the area. Highly recommend!

We stayed two nights at the Stony Creek Lodge in late September, 2024. Our room was small but clean. The bed was comfortable. There wasn't a lot of room to store luggage, etc., but it was OK. There's no elevator, so we got in some steps going up and down the stairs. The free breakfast was good and we had a pizza in the dining room one night that was surprisingly good. The front desk staff was very friendly.||Our only real complaint was the cost; our room cost over $550 for just two nights. Even considering that this lodge is located in a national forest just outside of a national park, that seems very overpriced.

We received great service from the front desk staff, especially from the woman that worked the night of Aug. 9th. She went out of her way to assist us when my daughter was struggling with an issue. The location was great for our adventures in this area of the park. The bed was comfortable. There is a comfortable lounge area with a Keurig, that was a nice aspect. (the bulbs in the beautiful chandelier could be changed out for less harsh lighting, *suggestion).|Things to consider: |-please be aware that artificial smells affect some folks adversely. I had to remove those toilet pucks. Their scent filled the whole hotel room. That smell gave me a headache and nausea. Please consider scent free laundry detergent too.|-Unfortunately, when we returned from our day exploring we were dismayed to find out that the restaurant was closed. The cook closed it down early. We had missed lunch prior too. There are no other food options around, so we bought frozen food from the store and heated it up in the microwave. The next morning we missed breakfast too because it ended at 9:30 and we didn't get up and at em in time. Maybe, a bit later on the breakfast and dinner hours for the next guests?

Wow! I am so impressed by the staff at Stony Creek. They truly went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. I was weary of staying here based on past reviews but none of what I read applied to my experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the communal space was welcoming and peaceful. We appreciated the little market for essentials and the restaurant had a variety of food to serve including burgers, pizza, meatball subs and sandwiches. The breakfast was DELICIOUS and set us up for an awesome day. It’s certainly not the 4 seasons but it’s a wonderful gem in the heart of Sequoia/Kings Canyon. Can’t wait to visit again!

Michelle was so hospitable,,,Cristina so insightfmul. Bacon at breakfast was FAB. scrambled eggs not so good,,,but we didnt expect even what was offered so thumbs up!|Only wish we'd known there was no dinner on the two nights we stayed, otherwise we would'nt consider staying anywhere else now! A gem in the middle of the State Park. SO glad we found you! Loved the market/gift shop too!|we'll be back and let everyone we know that's going where to stay! thank you!|gayle wright

The staff are very very nice! From the moment we arrived Todd offered to take our cooler upstairs for us. He’s also the cook and makes a great breakfast! The breakfast is awesome with hot and cold choices and more. The lodge itself is small with 11 rooms - all upstairs with no elevator. The history of the place is interesting and has a number of old pics to look at and appreciate. The common room was nice and big and has a coffee machine and microwave to heat up food for dinner ( the onsite restaurant closes at 8 or earlier if it’s not busy). The maintenance of this place though has been deferred for quite sometime. The walls are paper thin and the air vent for the wall heater is open to the exterior hall. There’s no A/C but they have a ceiling fan and a portable one also. There’s no fridge but the one cool thing is they give you a bag of ice each day for your cooler. The room and the bathroom was clean but there were some areas with a good amount of dust. Bathroom sink was pretty slow to drain. The room entry is by card ( they put your room number on it). The staff all leave by 8 or 8:30pm and there are some that live in a separate building on site that you can call if needed. One night another couple’s card key stopped working and they had to call a manger to come and make a new one. They lived over an hour away and they didn’t get into their room until 11. That’s kind of different! Loads of parking and also a trail access and there is a gas station! The parking lot lights and gas station lights are dark at night. Great place to see the Milky Way and all the stars. But don’t forget there are bears out there. This place has a lot of potential and some tweaks would make it really good. Apparently they are busy during hunting season.

Great place to stay! Very convenient location, clean, comfortable, and safe. Breakfast was excellent and included in the rate. Pizza for dinner was surprisingly good— we really enjoyed it. The decor is dated and the place is not fancy, but who needs that when you are there to go hiking? Don’t hesitate to stay here.
