Buckeye Tree Lodge

Buckeye is the perfect location to visit Sequoia NP. The view from the back patio was just as amazing. Room size was very spacious. The bed was not that comfortable and the shower pressure was minimal. Food options are limited so we had to travel a few miles down the road. Overall I definitely would stay here again.

Staying here was like stepping into a storybook, or a Hallmark movie. Right on the river with an incredible restaurant/ bar next door, we felt immediately in vacation mode. The staff seemed to genuinely care, and the small-town-feel was palpable. I left behind a large specialty pillow, and they worked with me to promptly mail it back at well under my cost parameters. I am so grateful for my time here!

Very small but sufficient lodging just outside Sequoia Park entrance. It works. However, don’t expect to stay “connected” as there is no Internet except the lodge wifi and there are only a couple of plugs for your electronics. The bathroom is tiny so don’t bring a lot of stuff- but it is clean and the back door leads out to private Adirondack chairs overlooking the river. It is very peaceful so bring wine and some cheese from the market one mile back down the road. You can also walk next door to a great restaurant and get a 10 per cent discount for being a guest here. We recommend it for simple pleasure more interested in nature.

Overall, Buckeye Lodge is a great home base for visiting Sequoia National Park. The staff is extremely friendly and the grounds are lovely. There are 2 swimming pools for guests to enjoy. Our cabin (Forest) had a full kitchen, and it appears that the bathroom had been recently remodeled. It was very modern and clean. I'm taking away one star because Forest was not conducive to great sleep. It is on the bottom level of an upstairs/downstairs duplex, and there is little to no soundproofing between the two levels. We could hear each footfall and thump that the guests above made. Our sleep schedule, therefore, was tied to their's, and they were up late each night! I would recommend staying in a different cabin or room if you're a light sleeper like I am. The Gateway restaurant across the street was wonderful: delicious food and outstanding service. Guests at Buckeye get a small discount for eating there, and I would highly recommend it.

Attentive service when requested, but never pushy. Remote check-in & check-out works great. Wonderful quiet & peaceful hours spent by the riverside, clean & comfortable room, and notably odor-free. Wow! This is a superb get-a-way place.

This was a great place to stay as far as the location into Sequoia National Park. We were in a room not a cabin. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Back patio to the rocks and water are very nice. Down size is bathroom is small no shelving to put anything which when staying a couple of days would be nice. Not knowing the area and traveling from another state, this was a good choice to stay for visiting the park.
