We stayed at The Gateway Restaurant & Lodge during our visit to Sequoia National Park, and it turned out to be a great choice. The location is super convenient — just minutes from the park entrance — which made it easy to get an early start each day. The room was clean and comfortable, but the true highlight was the restaurant. It’s set right on the creek with beautiful views and a peaceful, relaxing vibe. We loved sitting outside, enjoying delicious food while watching birds fly around — it felt magical. The menu had a great variety, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this lodge, especially to those looking for a charming place with a fantastic on-site restaurant near Sequoia.

It was nice to stay at a nostalgic motel from the 60-70’s. The food was very good overall. A bit on the pricey side but the location to Sequoia Nation Park made up for it. The people were wonderful and very friendly. We enjoyed our stay.

Amazing River House

Such an amazing place!! The River House is even better than described. Great-sized living room and full kitchen and huge private deck along the rushing river. As a bonus, the restaurant’s food is wonderful and we had lots of fun in the bar. The staff are excellent!! Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend this gem of a place!!

Excellent location close to the entrance to Sequia. Rooms are on the smaller side, but very clean and equipped with everything you need. Friendly employees. Food and cocktails at the restaurant were very good. Reservations are requested. We ate there both nights of our stay. I could see parking being a little tight during the high season, due to the popularity of the restaurant, but we had no trouble at the end of April. Would definitely stay again
