Overall Ratings & Reviews Quiet Mind Lodge Retreat & Spa Sequoias

It was in a beautiful location, if that's what you're looking for. Expedia said it was 11 miles from town. It is about a 50 to 60 minute drive. The actual property wasnt cleared for adventuring. Also, expedia said it would sleep 6...it did not. It slept 4 and one of the beds was broken. Thank god we had our kids with us and not more adults. The shower was not un the bathroom either so there was zero privacy; needless to say the pictures were very misleading. But the girl running it was very nice.

This place is a retreat indeed. Stayed one night, wish I stayed a whole week! Will definitely be staying again.

The property has potential. Upon arrival there was electrical issues the mini split heater was broken and never repaired the remainder of the stay a small space heater was provided. There was no hot water the first night it came on in the morning for about an hour then off again we notified the front desk and left for the day when we came back it was still off and I had to tell them again no hot water. It was remedied but the following morning the water was very brown and unusable so we just left. 473 dollars down the drain. Also the pin they have on the maps is so wrong. The property is about 40 minutes from Kernville not 6 like the pin will tell you.

What it states on the website is a lie. You won’t see Sequoias at all if you stay here at Quiet Mind. You will be deeply disappointed. Winter heating doesn’t work. Room felt like an ice box. Staff seemed clueless. There is no zen atmosphere. Property run down. I booked 3 night but escaped early the next morning after only one night. I didn’t want to waste the valuable vacation time I had. They also won’t give a refund . Not a good place to stay. They need to shut down or pour more funds into improving and they need to tell the truth on their website the realities rather than being deceiving.

The front desk is very friendly and accommodating upon requests. I stayed in what was advertised the 700 foot mobile home. It was a RV that you drive. The carpet inside was quite worn down as well as the couch and seating area. It is advertised that there is a 32 inch TV with cable but there is no TV also the Wi-Fi is free but had to go sit in the front lobby to access and could only text that make any phone calls Because the signal is so weak. The kitchen was not fully stocked and skillet was old and scratched up. But again the Front Desk was able to go into the kitchen and accommodate what we needed which was wonderful beautiful area by the river did not use the hot tub because it was not warm enough. Breakfast in the morning is OK it’s continental with some more eggs

Such a wonderful, relaxing property with top notch staff. Hiked to all the waterfalls on property, enjoyed the in-room tub, the included breakfasts were convenient and really tasty, and driving to local hikes and Kernville was super easy. Nice way to unplug, but still have great amenities. Loved it!

I loved my stay here. The clawfoot tub was amazing. My only feedback is I wish there was a table near the door, there wasn’t anywhere to put my luggage other than the floor. Also a mat on the inside near the door would be helpful, it was pouring rain during my stay and I needed a place to put my wet boots. Other than that, very peaceful location and a kind and helpful manager.

A good quiet place. The service of the manger was extraordinary good.

This was one of the most amazing experiences. We came from Wisconsin to see the Sequoias, and Quiet Mind was peaceful, with amszing views, and short distances to world wonders. Our host was awesome, breakfast was wonderful. There was a mountain and a warerfall footsteps from our room. Just, WOW.

AMAZING experience! I can’t wait to plan my return. This place is so special and cozy. I literally didn’t want to leave when it was time for checkout. I enjoyed the vibe both employees gave off and found them enjoyable to chat with. Even the free breakfast wowed both my partner and I. There’s also an app you have access to during your stay with meditations for sleep. Mini bar is impressive too. One more side note-the massage chair was the cherry on top for me.

Great place and communication!

This is a very nice, clean and quiet place. So much nature, nice amenities in the room and I give it a 10 already

The name is deceiving. No spa. Pictures on website are completely deceiving.

Such a cute place to stay! Absolutely stunning views of the river & overall beautiful scenery. The breakfast was fantastic & enjoying the river by the jacuzzi, it really doesn’t get better. Vintage vibes throughout. Shout out to the awesome staff!! Delaney, John, Eric, & Shane definitely care about the guests & take great care of the property & it shows. Heads up- google maps took me to an incorrect location at first, so if you get taken to a camp sight incorrectly, travel about 30 minutes higher up the mountains. (Hotel is located about 20 mins past McNallys steakhouse if you need a landmark ) thanks for the great visit, will definitely come again!

The place was very nice and the staff very welcoming and helpful. Nice facilities, great breakfast and beautiful locations along the river. Two negative points: The directions on Expedia are wrong and it took us an extra 40 minutes to reach the place, almost missing the check-in deadline and causing us to partially reschedule our rest of the trip. Second, possibly because of the season, a big quantities of flies were infesting the place making walking outside not so pleasant.

The rooms were cute! The property is nice but needs some upkeep and landscaping. The creek and waterfall is such a selling point but there is no direct access. Staff was friendly. Food was amazing.

Lovely quiet, meditative type stay—with nature as your entertainment. No TV and Wi-Fi is not good, if that is what you are looking for. If you are looking to unplug, this spot is perfect. Beautiful little waterfall out back—that you can hear if you keep the windows open. Clean mountain air and healthy breakfast options keep your mind rested and rejuvenated. Staff was excellent. Just do your research and know you are in the mountains—where anything can happen. If you are a flexible person looking to unwind, this is the spot for you.

Beautiful Property

Beautiful location, it really doesn’t get better. Staff very friendly. Peaceful and beautiful. The water fall is unique and the wildlife (mostly birds) we abundant. I would definitely recommend for some peace and quiet

Amazing place very quiet and relaxing everybody was very friendly. Nice getaway from the city and noise recomend 100%
