This area is not for novice hikers. Recommend Groundhog Meadow hike to get acclimated. Staff were friendly and cabin was clean and comfortable.

Staff are incredibly nice and our stay was wonderful! The setting is beautiful and peaceful; excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts and joining with nature. The description of Silver City should be updated on Hotels.com to more accurately describe the accommodations, however. This is an extremely remote and rustic place and anyone that has a serious medical condition or physical limitations should speak with staff directly before booking to ensure they understand where they are going. A reliable car is also essential to make it up the mountain.

Beautiful unique place in the middle of Sequoia National Park.
90 minutes ride up to the mountains 7500 feet.
Very nice people working in this little 10 house resort.
If you like the quiet this is where you go.

The Rock Cabin rocks!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Rock Cabin! Falling asleep to the sound of water and crickets was really wonderful. The restaurant was amazing! We especially loved having pie each morning with our coffee. Speaking of coffee, we loved walking into the cabin and seeing complementary local coffee, waiting for us. I also want to leave a little note that the road up to the cabin was pretty intense and a little scary at parts…But if you take your time, it’ll be worth the drive!

Please make sure you understand that this property is a hour drive from the highway on a barely improved road. Arriving after dark is not advised. Other than that was a nice place with a good quality restaurant. I do not recommend for staying there to visit the national park, but does work well as a destination stay.

I can honestly say I've never stayed in a cabin without a restroom or electricity and I heated it with the wood they provided which was very funlight were propane lights, lit with a match. However the drive up and down the Mt. Was at the least, not for the faint of heart...very rough on my car.

The room smelled like urine in the master bedroom. Did not know the front desk maned only until 5pm. They left all the info on the door. With this day and age of identity theft what kind security is that? I will never come back

Not for the feint of heart.

The resort itself was nice. The staff was very friendly and efficient. However our cabin was beyond rustic, the floor was not level, so bad that they used rocks to keep the cupboards shut. No toilet or electricity, stove, fridge and lights are all gas. Half inch spaces on either side of fridge let the outdoors in. I think that they could do better describing what you're getting for your $$. Also, a warning about the awful road, would be nice. It takes nearly 2 hours to go 22 miles.

This place is the perfect way to experience Mineral King. The cabins are clean and comfortable, the crew is friendly and helpful and the food is very good. And the highlight is, of course, the unbelievable trails that are nearby.

It was a nice property. Off the grid. The wifi only reaches a certain point. Bathrooms are separate from cabins. Cabins don’t have electricity but overall great to sleep in with gas lighting and wood fireplace if needed. The road has a lot of turns takes about a little over an hour to get to. Just keep driving and you will reach the cabin as there are no signs indicating if your going the right way or not but we followed GPS and it led us to there. Friendly staff and great food, family friendly.

Beautiful location! Although I hated the road to get there. Everyone was very welcoming. I was unaware that the cabin I rented did not have electricity, so that was a bit of a shocker. Otherwise, everything was wonderful.

Highly recommended

We had a wonderful and magical stay at Silver City. The location is absolutely breathtaking, up a seriously steep and windy road, but totally worth it and with great access to numerous hikes. The staff at the resort were extremely helpful and friendly. We will be recommending Silver City to everyone!

A Comfortable Way to Experience Mineral King

This is a great place to stay and experience Mineral King. The restaurant has good, but limited food. It was nice to be able to have a beer and piece of pie after cooking our own food in the cabin (bring all the food you think you'll need!). Don't forget that these are cabins in the wilderness, even though they are kept very clean and have updated kitchens. Be sure to put your food away so critters don't get it. The Rock Cabin was great for us, although it has a weird layout so you have to go outside on the porch to get from the kitchen/main room to the toilet and bedrooms. The back porch over the stream was a nice place to hang out. The showers in the separate building are close and very nice and very clean. There's a nice playground and and nice places to sit out and enjoy the incredible beauty of the place. The staff were all very nice. It's a short drive to magnificent trailheads. We will definitely return!

We never made it to the resort due to the extreme driving conditions from the town of Three Rivers to the resort. We turned around half way from the nearest road due to motion sickness caused by the extreme winding and narrow road and the dangerous road conditions. We attempted to reach it during the day and could not but never arrive after dark since it is not safe. There are places in the long road where only one car can travel and we had to back up on the road which had a step drop to allow another vehicle to pass. We understand paying for not showing up the day we attempted to arrive but also had to pay for the next night we had reserved even though we had canceled in advance. We explained the reason but did not receive any understanding. We spent the night in three rivers instead, a good choice.

Great place to stay in Sequoia NP but a long drive

It’s a long drive to get there, over a narrow twisting rough road, but worth the trip once you’re there. We stayed in the Franklin Pass cabin which is new and very comfortable. We took a great hike to White Chief mine on a well-marked trail. Food was terrific at the restaurant and the staff was friendly and helpful.

It had the friendliest staff I have ever met. The food was freshly prepared and nicely served. We did not know about the 21 mile drive up a narrow road with over 600 turns - thought we were staying in or close to the park, not above it! But loved every minute of the unique adventure. Would not change a thing

I stayed in the Franklin Pass cabin. Very nice- looks exactly like pictures. The staff was great and the food is good. Just be aware that if you stay here you need to do hikes off mineral king road. It takes over an hr to get to rest of park. And the road up there is one of the worst I’ve ever driven. And they don’t have wifi in cabins- only have wifi around reception (which sometimes cuts out). But the cain and staff were great. Very accommodating.

Nice cabin in the woods. Very secluded. Expect a curvy, stressful, 2 hour, (10 mph) drive to the location from the main highway up the mountain. Well worth it, however. The lodge has a restaurant with free wi-fi. Excellent food at reasonable prices. They also have a nice selection of wines and beer on tap. Best to stay atop the mountain and hike there rather than drive down to visit the main Sequoia park. Gets cold at night. Great off-the-grid getaway location.

Silver City 2018

The ride up was beautiful and adventurous, and our arrival at Silver City was amazing. The grounds, cabins and scenery were pristine. The best part about Silver City is the friendly, attentive and smiling staff. So turn off your cell phones at the foot of Mineral King road and enjoy being unplugged in this mountain getaway.

Dangerous access road

We want to warn people that this resort is no remote and at the end of a twisting 21 mile road. The 21 miles will take from 1 and a half to 2 hours to negotiate. My husband is a very confident driver but half way through the trip up we both decided that our 2 night reservation would be only one night. We were charged for two nights but we refused to drive that road again. I will say that the cabins are nice but only the grave should try this place.

Sooo Good in Mineral King!

our stay was outstanding! The resort was rustic and beautiful. This location is remote, so keep inmind that you need a vehicle that can navigate the windy, narrow, mountaness road.Mineral King is about 7000 feet up so once you get to resort you can not make a quick treck back to town. Worth it! The staff is awesome and helpful. plenty of options for cabins depending on budget. some cabins do not have a private bathroom or electricity. We stayed in Hockett Meadow cabin. perfect for a romantic get away. Nice big deck for relaxing with wine and enjoying the big trees. ifhiking is your thing, this place should be on your bucket list! I suggest you research and plan your hikes before going:) As for my boyfriend and I, we are already excited about going back! By the way, all the food we ordered at the resort restaraunt was delicious!

Eine wirklich außergewöhnliche Unterkunft. Einsame Hütten wie ansonsten nur aus Filmen bekannt. Den Abzug gibt's ausdrücklich nicht für die Unterkunft selber. Man sollte aber zu der Umgebung wissen, dass dort wirklich rein gar nichts ist. Eigentlich genau was wir suchten, aber das gilt leider auch für Wanderwege, die man mit dem Auto anfahren muss. Außerdem sollte man genau darauf achten, welche Hütte man bucht. Wenn keine Küche bzw Kühlschrank vorhanden ist, ist man nämlich zu 100 % auf das unterkunftseigene Restaurant angewiesen.

Très isolé

Accès difficile, A partir de Three Rivers. Plus d'1h30 de petites routes de montagne;
Il faut arriver de bonne heure si vous voulez manger au restaurant. Tout prévoir (les courses) pour le séjour avant de monter. Manque d'information sur la situation précise de l'hotel et des conditions logistiques. Peut être compliqué avec enfants en bas ages. Trop loin de l'entrée principale de Séquoia Parc pour voir les énormes séquoias. Point positif, très bon restaurant et bon accueil.
