  : The trees surrounding it and the food was ok
  : Firstly, the presentation of the property on Booking.com, whereby it is presented as a resort within Sequoia National Park. Whilst this is technically correct, the access road to the resort is a life-threatening ascent on very poor quality and dangerous surfaces with extremely scary precipices on either side.. this required a drive on 1 hour and 40 minutes of careful, stressful driving just to get there. The majority of people visiting the Park are there to see the Sequoia Grove and General Sherman. To do so, and this is not explained, requires the visitor to navigate this nightmare TWICE A DAY, just to access the Park. It is a deceit that this is not explained on Booking.com. On arrival we were met at reception (which doubles as a bar) by a girl in a relaxed state who had clearly been drinking for a while. The cabin was of only reasonable condition, somewhat sticky in terms of cleanliness and lacking both basic equipment and air conditioning. The large sign warning about bears, with an axe fixed to the wall beside it was our welcome note. Delaware North, the owners, really need to take a long hard look at this part of their portfolio as reading these reviews will lead to reputational harm for an otherwise good company (we stayed at Tenaya in Yosemite which was delightful)
