What a fantastic stay we had at John Muir Lodge! Every detail was perfect, from the coffee in the lobby in REAL ceramic mugs, friendly and helpful staff, clean comfortable rooms, quick walk to a fantastic restaurant, gift shop and market at Cedar Grove! I cannot say enough. Highly recommend. Anyone with anything negative to say about the lodge should go stay at a fancy hotel in civilization…you just don’t get it IYKYK
Helpful sign in the lobby upon arrival
A quick hike from the lodge near the General Grant tree
General Grant did not disappoint and was a short hike from the lodge

The lodge and its employees are amazing! Everyone is very friendly. WiFi and cell service are spotty and not extremely reliable if that is important to you. The location is amazing if you are spending time in Kings Canyon or Hume Lake. We look forward to returning!

This was a great way to see both National Parks in a timely and convenient way. We went in May, so the rooms not having air conditioning was fine. The restaurant wasn’t running at normal hours, so that was a bit frustrating, but we navigated it and overall enjoyed our stay.
