My husband & I stayed two nights and wish we could return tomorrow. Lovely service. Perfect location. Excellent hotel location & value. Bathroom is NOT small. Staff very helpful. This is the best place to stay in the area, bar none. River was just outside our room. Staff kept next door room vacant for the first night, which was peaceful & nice. Overall very quiet anyway.... . 10% discount on Gateway Restarant next door not necessary, but helpful& appreciated. Food & service & location& price all excellent. We'd return tomorrow is possible & would not stay anywhere else. Staff first rate. Excellent value, ambiance, and quality.

We spent two days at the Buckeye this week. It's the first time we've been there in over 20 years. The room was simple but clean and neat. The television actually worked - a rare thing in hotels/motels, etc. The staff members were friendly and helpful and the room rate was very reasonable.
Rather than a stale bagel and apple as a "Continental Breakfast", the lodge provided a basket with two cans of tropical juice, an apple or plumb, a pastry and a nice muffin. A great touch was the coffee beans and grinder...and a full-size coffee maker. Freshly ground coffee in the morning? Unheard of!
All of the rooms face the river. Unfortunately, it was at a low level, but we could still hear the water during the night. Very soothing. (We'll be back in the Spring with the water is running high. Now THAT'S spectacular!) We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the river with friends who booked a room at the same time.
The Lodge is just yards from the entrance to Sequoia National Park, and it's a fairly short and scenic drive to the park itself.
This is NOT the Las Vegas Marriott, nor would we want it to be. It's rustic and altogether wonderful. (Did I mention the pool? Bone-chilling cold(!) but refreshing, clean and clear.)
If you're touring the Sierra or just want to get away for a couple of days, give Buckeye a try. Be sure to call for reservations. It's not a large property, so you'll want to reserve a room. They also have a property across the street, so availability should not be a problem with proper notice.

Excellent stay. Very friendly and helpful staff on arrival. The room was dated but immaculately clean. View from the back is amazing. Free Internet worked vey well. The muffin was excellent and coffee beans to grind is an absolutely first class touch. The swimming pool was a godsend on a very hoy day and the proximity to Sequoia Park makes this a great place to stay.
Well done guys!
