Montecito Sequoia Lodge

The road to the lodge was very bumpy and was not paved. It gets creepy on the way to the lodge. When we first looked at our room, it seemed nice, but unsafe. There were a lot of sound when we walked on the floor. The outside was nice and there were a lot of activities to do outdoors. At first we were a little nervous about the food, but then it turned out to be okay. Also, the charging stations were not great.

The lodge has all the elements necessary for a great resort, but the facilities are in dire need of updates and renovations.

Appreciated the included food.

The location is outstanding with views to die for. The road to the place is in bad repair due to the terrible weather in Spring 2023, but well worth the effort to get there. The rooms are comfortable, up to date, clean, and spacious. The buffet meals are a delight. I have never had better buffet meals. Also the fact that you get breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the price is actually a bargain given the quantity and the quality of the food. They even provide a wide varaty of snacks. It is actaully sat up for long term stay with loads of on site activities, but it also makes a great place to stay for even just one night. The staff were fantastic!

Quite expensive for the type of accommodations offered. Very rustic experience and the food is ok. Problem is there are very few options available in this area but $400 per night for basically a camp seems excessive. Staff were friendly and helpful. Was disappointed to see disposable plates, cups and utensils. Not very environmentally friendly

Beautiful location. Looks like a great place to vacation with kids. Food was good. We booked one of the new "architecture designed cabin in the woods" at @ $450 a night. The cabin was lovely with a wonderful deck to sit on and enjoy the view. The cabin had at least 8 kitchen cabinets and 4 drawers that were all empty . No dishes,no wine glasses, no corkscrew. Plenty of paper cups, packets of coffee, packets or sugar and creamer. We asked for wine glasses at the main lodge and were told "glass is not allowed in the cabins.🤗🤗🤗 Seems to be a resort in transition, but doesn't understand how to do "luxury".

Devastated by winter storm in ‘22 covid and fires prior has presented incredible chdd as lengths to the property. The operators are great snd working to recover. Doing great job but had to be honest about property. Lodging was excellent however alingbwyth staff.

Everyone here was very friendly and nice, however, I feel the condition of the lodge did not match the price. It was quite expensive for a slightly run down looking room, with dislodged wood panels on the ceiling, some stains on the carpet, and a lot of nicks on the walls. The property was messy looking with a lot of construction going on, and the bridge was closed for repairs causing a long dirt road detour for entry onto the property. In addition, our fire alarm went off for 20 minutes before the manager (also very friendly) was able to replace it. Not a bad place to stay, but way too expensive for the condition it was in.

Room needed a good cleaning and updating.

Staff went above and beyond
