Buckeye Tree Lodge

Sequoia National Park


Sit out on your grassy back patio or perch on the balcony and watch the river ease through a maze of boulders. Fairly generic motel rooms, one with a kitchenette, feel airy. The outdoor picnic area has BBQ grills. One cabin named 'River House' sleeps up to 10 people. Breakfast includes muffins, fruit and juice.
