Sequoia Highlands Resort

This place has certainly seen better days, and I wish I could give it a higher rating, as the folks that run the place are very nice and for that they earn an extra star from me.
Nestled high above the main road leading to Kings Canyon/​Sequoia from Fresno, this place will certainly offer you solitude like you can’t imagine. You have to take a Forest Service road for about 4 – 5 miles to reach this place. It’s a collection of cabins of varying sizes, scattered across an area about about 120 acres. They have facilities for larger groups — barracks-​type accommodations — but we didn’t visit any of these.
I’m not sure what Tink was saying in his/​her review, but there is no AC, no Wi-​Fi, no Dish TV, and the cabins aren’t too small. Sadly, the cabin that we stayed in, while reasonably spacious, is desperately in need of some upgrading. The furniture was old and the mattress on a couple of the beds were sponge foam, and the mattress on another bed was clearly very old and the sheets didn’t stay in place to keep it covered. However, it was very bright and well-​ventilated, and we had spectacular views of the valley below. At night, the sky was ablaze with stars, and there was absolutely nothing to interrupt the peace and quiet — well, there were some angry cows grazing nearby, but at no point did we hear even the slightest bit of road traffic.
The grounds, sadly, have been decimated by the severe drought. I have to admit that we felt a little concerned about the fire hazard in this area, especially since there didn’t seem to be any mechanism by which a wildfire could be communicated to us, since there was no phone and no cell phone coverage. We were basically isolated from the world. This was enjoyable and disconcerting at the same time.
This place could certainly use some capital improvements — I’d start with new furniture and beds. That alone could make the cabins more appealing and would start attracting more business.

This is a basic place with scrupulously clean small rooms. The wi-​fi, Dish tv, and air conditioning all work well. The manager is warm and welcoming, and the experience was positive. Although it doesn’t look very prepossessing, it gives you a decent location in a great area.

We made our reservations on Sunday, and wanted cabin #3, because it’s the nicest looking cabin that they have, and our kids just loved the loft, they couldn’t wait to spend a night there. They also accept dogs which a lot of places don’t. We were just so happy, and after 6 hr drive, we pull up and don’t see anybody there, no guests no host, so we went by our cabin to peek in to see what it looks like, just to see some bags and luggage on the floor. We thought it was a mistake, and maybe there’s another cabin that looks like that. The views there are great, and so peaceful. Finally the manager showed up and said that he remembers he spoke to me and that I made the reservations but someone else called in and made reservations with the owner. He suggested another cabin, so we went to see and I just wouldn’t want to stay there for free. Other cabins were only 1 Bdrm. I was so mad, because I knew we wouldn’t find any lodging for the night, since I called so many places and this one was the only open (and this was on Tue night!), and especially with a dog! I was so mad! Kids were in tears, we were all tired but thought we’d give it a try while driving through the parks. Everything was full, or no pets allowed! There was nothing! After driving through the whole entire park, we were sorry we didn’t bring our tent just in case because there were so many beautiful spots to tent, but who would’ve thought when you’re making reservations and giving your cc # that you’re not being booked in at all! What a JOKE!!! Guy said sorry, but his sorry is not going to fix anything. We just drove back home, made it home at 3am, so tired and exhausted thanks to Sequoia Highlands Owner!

We stayed there 2 nights on Thanksgiving weekend. We stayed in cabin 6 which is supposed to be the smallest cabin among all they have.
The cabin comes with a fully equipped kitchen, couple couches in the living room, a dining table, not-​so-​warm electrical heater in the bedroom, warm electrical heater on the wall in the living room and a wood burning fireplace. Manager Smoke will help you to light up the fireplace if you want.
The resort is a little tricky to find. But if you follow the signs they give, you won’t get lost. It’s about 15 miles away from Grants Grove visitor center and about 18 miles from the Redwood Canyon trail.
It’s a peaceful and private place to stay.

We spent 3 nights in a 2 bed 2 bath cabin very close to Kings Canyon National Park. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very reasonably priced for about $ 100 per night.
The cabin comes with a fully equipped kitchen, room heaters, living room with couch and a balcony with bbq.
entrance to the Kings Canyon National park is about 10 miles from here.
I would stay in this place again.
