Lake Elowin Resort

I can’t add much to the reviews that have already been posted other than I agree with them. A beautiful place that you be comfortable at.
We will be back again!

We spent many summers at Lake Elowin years back with our kids and grandkids. A picture perfect area with a great swimming hole. Milton and his brother were always accommodating and were great hosts. Fond memories looking back! Just the best!
Thank you Milton.

First time visiting Sequoia National Park and I couldn’t be happier having stayed at Lake Elowin. By far the best option for any one that wants more than a standard room at the Comfort Inn.
Stayed in cabin #2 and had perfect views of their private swimming hole and surrounding mountain range. The kitchen was fully stocked and CLEAN. Best surprise of the trip was when the owner mentioned a trail to the nearby Kaweah River, less than a 10min walk brings you to the most pristine swimming hole I’ve ever seen.
Will be staying with Milton and Hanna for all future trips to the Sequoias!

Amazing, just amazing. I recommend this place to just about anyone. Cabins are rustic and comfortable, the staff is amazing, and Milton is as gracious a host as you can get. The lake is beautiful and the property lies on a swimming hole that is private and serene. I can’t recommend this place enough. 5 stars all the way! In town is a great candy store as well :)

Gorgeous and peaceful environment, rustic and simple cabins, river nearby, clean and inviting lake, canoeing, ping-​pong, birding, bbq’s, a place for relaxing and slowing down. And, Sequoia National Park is minutes away. Love this place!

This place is awesome. On our first night we saw a big black bear. It was kind of scary at night since there is not much street lights and we weren’t sure which way the cabins and lake are. So I would say try to reach before sunset. Next morning when we saw the lake it was worth the wait. The lake had small kayak boats where you can ride single or double. When you kayak it is a beautiful scene. Apart from that you have a small ping pong table. It is not well maintained but you can still play. A small hike down is a beautiful flowing river. It has crystal clear water and you can swim and dive in there. Sequoia national park is like 2 miles north. Worth visiting this place. Make early reservation since the cabins are limited. owner has very strict policies about noise, guests etc. enjoy!!!

As a person who gets very little time off from work I decided to take a «staycation» near home to save on travel time. I could not have picked a more perfect place than Lake Elowin Resort. As soon as I drove onto the property I felt comfortable, safe and very welcomed. Milt and his staff were warm, friendly and extremely caring. I stayed in cabin 2. right on the lake which had a comfy queen sized bed, a small kitchenette and tiny bathroom with a quaint bridge right outside the porch that leads to the lake’s island. The grounds are well maintained and green with plenty of shade trees. The river is a short hike down a well traveled trail where you’ll find a swimming hole complete with a rope to swing and drop from as well as a waterfall. At night I slept with my windows opened to catch the breeze and fall asleep to the sounds of nature. There are bbq’s outside each cabin, picnic tables, canoes and a ping pong table. It’s ideal for families, couples and even lone travelers like me. No televisions, wi fi and for me, no phone service add to that the peace and tranquility. Lake Elowin is a place to decompress, relax and not feel the pressures of the outside world. Two days was definitely not enough. Thank you so much Milton for making this such a fantastic experience. I learned that it is okay to take care of me once in a while and made reservations for next month!

Looking for an escape? — LAKE ELOWIN IS THE PLACE!!!
Located minutes from the Sequoia National Forest this cabin style resort is a hidden gem in the great outdoors. My boyfriend’s family has been going to this resort for over 20 years & they continue to visit as often as possible. After visiting myself I understand why!
Lake Elowin is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday city life. During the day you can enjoy the Sequoia’s just minutes away or hike down to the river for rafting, fishing, swimming & all around fun in the sun! As evening rolls in you can have on site bon fires & barbeques by the pond located on the resort. Night time at Lake Elowin is breathtaking– peace & quiet, the sounds of chirping crickets echoing within the trees as you experience a bright starry night! During my visit we were lucky enough to experience an epidemic of shooting stars one after another.
I would recommend visiting Lake Elowin in the summertime when the weather and the river water will be warm as it will make for playing outdoors much more enjoyable. Lake Elowin is a great place for families, friends, or love birds looking to get away! I now plan to visit every summer with my friends and family!

Lake Elowin is a Cali classic. Built in the mid 20’s on a privileged spot in the valley, it harks back to the good old days.
The cabins are original and although showing some wear, they each have a soul compared to the plastic rooms in the chain hotels.
Each one has a small kitchen big fridge/​freezer (food in town is terrible except the Subs place) where you can make tea or have some pasta. Each cabin has a small bbq outside and there are is a large bbq on the island. Milton often has some coal’s left over from the previous guest but don’t rely on that. Grab your meat from Visalia or the market in town and get grilling.
The views into the Sequoia mountain range are stunning from the Resort.
There is no TV, no radios and no WIFI. It is a very peaceful place where you can sit in the huge park like garden and swim in the private lake with island. The water is crystal clear and cool. The property has river frontage with a natural river pool just of the sand (beach). No tourist masses spoil the peace.
If you enjoy gardens, Lake Elowin will delight with a great ensemble of Palm trees, Pines, bushes and fruit trees. In a way it reminds me of hotels in England with their beautiful gardens. Milton the owner spends much time keeping the grounds in order and keeps everything green and fresh with constant watering.
This is a great place for love birds, if you wanna write that book or anybody who needs to decompress. Watch the stars at night.
Lake Elowin is from a different time, enjoy this gem in the sea of generic plastic hotel rooms.

Great place. Cabins are small but cute, AC works well. There is no TV — a good thing. The little pond is fantastic. Really nice place to relax and play.

The resort is tucked away and very quiet. The cabins are small and comfortable. Small lake that kids can play in and row a boat. Open large grass area to run around and bbq. There is a trail that leads to a small rocky beach. Great place for kids to explore and play. Once in awhile white water rafters will pass by. Great place to get away and relax. Easy commute to Sequoia. Small stores nearby to visit and stroll around.

Small cabins, sprinkled over some lovely lawns, with a small lake that is fed by the river. Trails to the river. This is another place of which I am highly prejudiced. When our daughter was very small, and driving me insane, we would come here for a few days so she could row in the canoes with daddy and I could sit by the lake and read all afternoon. There is no television, no radio, no disturbance. It does get hot in the summer so the cabins are air conditioned.
