Quiet Mind Lodge, Spa & Retreat Sequoias

It's a very quiet and peaceful place with beautiful spots onsite to explore and adventure, or discover and relax at. The staff was courteous and always willing to help to make sure our stay was comfortable. We had great health conscious food they provided in the mornings and enjoyed the inhouse made pizzas you can purchase for dinner! Very accommodating to requests and activities such as wanting to eat breakfast outside in the morning and providing a table cloth and a food tray for resort luxury feel out in the sticks of Sequoia National Forest! It was beautiful, and perfect for people looking to disconnect from electronics and spend intimate time reconnecting to the important things.

The best hotel staff in the world. We got stuck with the car in the snow of the mountain pass at night and had to walk 20 miles downhill as we had no reception there. We arrived one day too late and they let us stay there without extra charge and helped us so much with towing the car etc. The accommodation is just beautiful in the mountains, perfect place to relax. Super relaxing massage chair, great breakfast, clean and large room, all perfect. Thank you very very much for this pleasant experience (literally the best place we could have stayed after a shi** night in the car and the long walk)

This place is a hidden gem! We loved that we could access the river and waterfalls from the property. The little details in the decor were beautiful. Love the library book selection and the games in the lobby. Beautiful complimentary breakfast served family style every morning, and complimentary guided meditation in the gazebo by request. There was a handwritten welcome card with some little welcome gifts upon arrival (thank you Cheyne!) and Johnathan was very helpful throughout. Overall the vibe is very peaceful and restorative. I really appreciate that there is no TV, phone, alarm clock, or any of the other buzzing blinking lights you’d find in a standard hotel room. Very tranquil and intentionally disconnected.

Wonderful location in the "middle of nowhere". No cell phone coverage, excellent for enjoying the nature. The creek was just some metres from the door of my room. All lamps had USB sockets. Very good shower. The bed was super comfortable with sheets that hugh you, like the shower gawn. It is such a quiet place. Staff is profesional and really cares for you. And you can really see the stars just walking around the property.

This place is truly an experience, and an exceptional one at that. The location is magical, and everyone who works there is so kind. It's incredible that such a calm and secluded place exists only a few hours away from such a big city as Los Angeles. It's a bit of a journey to reach the Lodge (there were a few times during the drive when I wondered if we were going the right way) but there's only one road so it isn't as though as you can take a wrong turn. Plus the drive itself is just *chef's kiss* -- it's such a great way to see the National Park. My advice is to have the directions loaded on your phone before entering the park and "trusting the process" as the saying goes. A very tasty breakfast is included (we love it when breakfast is included), but you'll have to order room service or leave the property for other meals. It's a bit of a drive to the nearest restaurant if nothing on the room service menu strikes your fancy, but the trade-off for the distance is the lodge's seclusion. You really do feel like you're in another world. I would write more, but I don't want to spoil all the lovely surprises (plus you can just go ahead and look up the location and amenities if you're really curious).
