Gena's Sierra Inn - Dunlap

Our rental car broke down on the way out of King's Canyon and we ended up here. It was the best thing that happened to us! They welcomed us in and we had the best meal I have eaten in a long time. Gena is the owner and cook. She came out and visited with us. I highly recommend the onion rings, strawberry shortcake and fried chicken. The vibe is very laid back here. They were even having a movie night for the hotel guests in the back courtyard. They asked us to stay and hang out while we waited for our car to be repaired. And we weren't even staying at the hotel. Next time we visit the park, we will definitely stay here. I can't imagine how good their breakfast is! Definitely worth a stop!! Make sure to say hi to the porch dog, he's adorable!

Cute little inn. Great proximity to Kings Canyon and Seqouia National Parks. The room was small but had everything we needed for a one night stay. The staff at check-in and the restaurant were friendly. The chicken fried steak, fish and chips, and brownie were all delicious! Highly recommend this place if you need a short stay right near the parks.

I sort of want to sabotage this because given its combo of location, price, and amenities Gena's Inn is a gem! We stayed here one night before heading into King's Canyon. It is rustic and rooms basic, but very clean. I think sound could be an issue given how compact the rooms are, but I had earplugs and slept all night without being bothered by neighbors. Gena's staff is friendly and communicated well. Check in super easy. We also appreciated the free fresh coffee before heading out to the park. Thank you Gena's Inn!

We loved everything about this small motel. Rooms are charming and have everything we need. The restaurant staff were all great and the food wonderful. The giant sequoias are only a few miles away. Walking among them feels sacred.

This restaurant has a fantastic exterior and a rich historical atmosphere. It likely hosts some great live bands, which adds to its charm. However, the service and food fell short of expectations. My guest and I waited two hours for our meals, and it felt as though our order had been overlooked. We stopped here on our way to the Sequoias to grab a bite, so the long wait was frustrating. We enjoyed some beer while we waited, but unfortunately, the food was not worth the delay. We ordered garlic fries, but they didn't have any garlic on them whatsoever. This place definitely has potential, but it could benefit from some improvements. With the right changes, it could truly become a fantastic spot.
