Top Buck Rock Lookout Hotel Reviews

Cabin Near Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks

10/10 Excellent

"The home was VERY close to National Forest so not a hassle to drive there. It was clean and well stocked with all that we might need and a big bonus for us was the Kuerig coffee maker and pods, starting the day our right! Zachary, our host, was there and available for any/all questions we had!"

Sequoia Resort

8/10 Good

"We didn't get to spend a lot of time at the property. We arrived late our first night and spent the entire day in Sequoia the next day. Basically, we just slept there. We had the guest suite near the office. It was quiet and clean. It had a kitchenette to cook with. There is no nearby food options - so stop at a grocery store first. Our host was lovely, she shared some tips for being in the higher elevation and getting to/from the park. Would totally stay here again with the plan of enjoying the property more."

Stony Creek Lodge

8/10 Good

"Stony Creek Lodge is a rustic, older national park property, not a resort, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check-in at the market counter was quick, and electronic key cards provided access to our room and the exterior entrance. Our clean, tidy room had a queen bed, a twin bed, a large dresser, bedside tables, plenty of lighting, and a ceiling fan. The bathroom was simple, with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Most rooms are upstairs, so keep that in mind when booking. The included breakfast was generous: eggs, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, rotating meats and potatoes, plus breads, pastries, cereal, fruit, yogurt, juice, and coffee. We certainly didn’t go hungry! The lounge’s self-serve coffee and tea station was especially welcome before breakfast opened at 8 a.m. The snack bar offered made-to-order pizzas and salads, though hours varied during our stay. Staff were helpful and welcoming. They gave us advance notice of a two-hour water shutoff for repairs, allowing us to clean up before dinner. The lodge uses generator power, and we were also notified of a brief daytime interruption that didn’t affect our plans. Come with realistic expectations for a rustic lodge, and you’ll find a comfortable, welcoming base with the terrific convenience of staying inside the national park."

John Muir Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay at John Muir lodge!"

Sky Pod #2/Tree Tent 2

10/10 Excellent

"I took my 14 year old son and we had a fabulous time. The view of the stars was nothing like I’ve seen before. Even with other pods and domes on the property they have managed to make it feel like you are the only ones there. So peaceful and an amazing experience. We will definitely be back."

11 miles to Kings Canyon Natl Park with Wi-Fi

10/10 Excellent

"We very much enjoyed our stay! The cabin was quaint and very cozy. The bar and restaurant across the way have closed, but there is a very nice small market within walking distance that we visited in the mornings for fresh coffee and other snacks. It is remote, so I would suggest bringing some provisions with you. We stopped at Walmart in Bakersfield on our way in, so we were pretty set. If you’re visiting the parks, there are a few nice restaurants as you first go in. Thank you for the wonderful stay!!"

Wuksachi Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff and flexible with the checkout date and time. The AC wasnt working in the room but then it wasn't required with the weather being so nice"

11 miles to Kings Canyon Nat'l Park with Wi Fi

10/10 Excellent

"If I hadn’t gotten the WiFi info from the other guest, I’m not sure how I would have reached Melanie for clarification on access to the key. Phone signal was sketchy."

Sundew View/ Kings Canyon/Sequoia National Parks

10/10 Excellent

"This place was perfect for the short stay my sister and I had to visit the Sequoia National Park. Directions to get to the place were easy to follow. Getting into the property had clear instructions. The house was spacious. Our pups had a great time exploring. The views were breathtaking both night and day. We would 1000000% recommend and stay here again in a heartbeat "
