Lazy J Ranch Motel

Location: Many users mention great location, close to Sequoia NP, quaint and good location

Very welcoming and amazing place, great for kids. Adjacent to a miniature farm where kids can watch goats and sheep, quick access to the river and trails, pool, playground. The room was spotless and comfy as well. We toured northern Cali for 8 days, this motel was the best experience we had (and we stayed in by far more expensive places).

Lazy J is an awesome place to stay. Very clean, and offers lots of little extras. We arrived late (10 p.m.) after a full day in Sequoia and Kings Canyon. The office was closed, but an envelope with instructions to the room and our key to the room were provided on a clipboard outside the office. We were lucky to get a cottage. 6A. It was near the river access. When we booked, we were told we would get 1 qn bed and one full bed. When we entered, we were surprised to find 2 twins in the room also. Everyone in our party of 4 enjoyed their own bed for the evening. A nice perk for a night for my husband and me. They supplied us with shampoo, conditioner, lotion, mouthwash, make-up remover, a makeup washcloth, and other tolitories. I do wish they had supplied body wash also, but definitely not a deal breaker. We had a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee pot was supplied. There were also pods of coffee, creamer, and sugar. We also had a ceiling fan, which was very helpful in keeping the room cool. In the morning, my son and I went out and visited the sheep kept on grounds on our way to the office. They were friendly, and we enjoyed petting them and saying hi! They have many hummingbird feeders around the front office and tons of hummingbirds to watch. Make sure to visit the resident cat, Turtle, also. She is very friendly and loves getting pets. She seems to reside in the front office. I have also been told she has her own Instagram account, too! Plan ahead for breakfast, as they do not sure anything. Again, it's not a deal breaker. The one and only negative we experienced was the air-conditioner. It was sooooo loud! And, in our room, it was right above the full-size bed. If we ever come back to Sequoia, we will definitely stay here! We stayed at the Comfort Inn the night before and paid considerably more for that room. This cottage was just as nice, if not better. Minus the breakfast. We did not get to use the pool, but it looked very nice! Do yourself a favor, and stay at this local place. You will bot be disappointed
