"Clean room"

"Honestly- don’t go here. It could be such a beautiful place and maybe was at some point, but now it’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. The surrounding properties are beautiful and outside is peaceful. The cabin, itself, is infested by mice. From what I could tell, the mice own it now. It is by the grace of God that my 6 yr old and I ended up okay, after everything. This place is in the mountains. Secluded. No cell service. The key was not where it was supposed to be. There were NO instructions inside, including no information about the WiFi. Thankfully a previous guest had written the password down in the guest book. NO CENTRAL HEAT OR AIR. This was not explained in the listing. It was 40 degrees outside. We used the wood burning stove to keep warm. When we went outside to get more firewood, the door auto-locked behind us. We did not know it did that. Car keys inside the house and everything. Thankfully, with the help of someone else, I got ahold of the owner and she came and let us in. But then, the mice! Droppings everywhere. Heard them scurrying around the ceiling at night. Saw one run across the floor. Disgusting. We couldn’t sleep. I’m not trying to be rude. I’m all for roughing it, but everyone should fully understand what they’re getting into. It wasn’t safe with the lack of information and it was unsanitary with the mice. This listing should honestly be removed from hotels.com. Oh and there was a frog on the coffee pot. "

"Stony Creek is a charming small lodge located in the beautiful Sequoia National Forest. It is an older facility but is well maintained and clean. The staff was excellent and attentive to our needs. Though there is a short drive to the main sights in Sequoia National Park, it is away from the crowds and is more affordable than other options in the area. Free breakfast included! We enjoyed our stay there very much!"

"Excellent location for visiting Sequoia and Kings Canyon NP. The host was attentive, the room was perfect with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and place settings for 2. I just hope the toilet paper was chosen for the septic system and not because they wanted that brand. I am glad I arrived in the daylight, the short dirt road in would be tricky in the dark the first time. Dining recommendations were spot on - good food, very friendly service, and close by. I wouldn't hesitate to book here again."
