The place itself was great! It is extremely close to the General Grant Tree, fallen monarch, panoramic view, big stump trail and Mark Twain’s stump! Within walking distance, there is a market and one restaurant. Overall, I would stay here again.

It was a good lodge. Pity they only started the fire in the lobby at 6 pm when it was snowing outside. Fun experience doing puzzles in the. Lobby as the tv in the room wasn’t working because of the snow. Restaurant nearby was so so.
