10/10 Excellent
"Wuksachi Lodge – Spectacular Setting, but Some Improvements Are Needed 🌲✨ Wuksachi Lodge is surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Sequoia National Park, and the location is truly spectacular. There were definitely highlights to our stay. Dinner was wonderful, and the stargazing was absolutely incredible! Seeing the night sky surrounded by such magnificent natural beauty was an unforgettable experience. However, there are some areas that really need attention, particularly when it comes to accessibility and guest convenience. Getting our luggage from the parking area to our accommodations was surprisingly difficult. The uphill sidewalks have multiple switchbacks, making it challenging to maneuver luggage carts. To make matters worse, portions of the sidewalks are broken and uneven. We nearly lost our luggage off the cart several times trying to navigate these areas. The nighttime lighting was also inadequate, making those same walkways even more difficult to navigate after dark. This is not simply an inconvenience but a potential safety concern, particularly for guests with mobility limitations or heavy luggage. Our room itself was fairly basic and somewhat underwhelming compared with the spectacular surroundings. While we thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant, incredible stargazing, and natural beauty, the lodge would greatly benefit from improved walkways, better lighting, and easier luggage access. The setting is extraordinary, but the guest experience could be signi"
