TRAVELERS ONLY (no local residents, no weekly or monthly rates)
One of the best things about owning a motel in the Sequoia National Forest is the fact it's a popular pass-through location for travelers from all around the world seeking to experience the natural wonders of the area. From Death Valley to the giant redwood trees at the Trail of 100 Giants, guests from other countries take a moment to pause, rest, refuel, and enjoy the beauty and excitement of the Lake Isabella and the Kern River before venturing on. With this in mind we like to make sure there's rooms available for those out of town and international travelers who may have only a limited opportunity to visit the area and choose to limit the room availability to such travelers. Therefore, the rooms are reserved for use by TRAVELERS only, and reservations originating from local residents are not accepted (no offense to our locals, we love y'all!). Reservations from anyone with an address or ID from the following local areas will not be accepted: LAKE ISABELLA, BODFISH, WOFFORD HEIGHTS, WELDON, MOUNTAIN MESA, SQUIRREL VALLEY, SOUTH LAKE, ONYX
