We arrived after 9 pm and our key with lots of information was left in an envelope tucked in the office door. Reminded me of yesteryear. Just a warm feeling. Also all the information was so helpful and much appreciated. I loved the country feel. Gateway restaurant was amazing!

This is such a quirky place, we really enjoyed our stay. The grounds are beautiful and it was lovely seeing the farm animals and the cats. We saw hummingbirds and lots of other wildlife. Rooms are clean but quite old fashioned, very quaint. We ate at the restaurant up the road but wouldn’t recommend it. It was expensive and poor quality but there wasn’t much else in the area. Overall our stay was a lovely experience

Just stayed for one evening before visiting Sequoia National Park. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Check in was easy. Staff was great. Had dinner at the River View Bar & Grill. Hamburger was excellent! Had breakfast the following morning on the way to the park at the Gateway Restaurant (along the river) and it was excellent as well. If staying in Three Rivers, the Lazy J would be the place to stay!

Lazy J motel had great rooms and amenities. Check in was seamless, more like a little cottage room. Housekeeping did a wonderful job keeping us stocked on items. Animals in the back with a beautiful view. I would recommend this Motel for anyone visiting the national park. They were very welcoming and friendly.
