I really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious and fireplace added the element of warmth to the ambiance. The bed was a bit firm to our liking but otherwise cozy. The property is tucked away and you really get the stillness that you do not get in the city. What I loved most of all is that the staff is wonderful and really builds a community for their guests and regulars. We enjoyed conversations and laughing for their lounge's trivia night. I cannot wait to stay here again!

Check in was SO simple, and the room was exceptionally clean and quiet-especially the bathroom. I appreciate that the shower head is more than 72" high! It's perfect for tall guests like me! The Idle Hour kitchen had a lovely brunch, which we enjoyed with our dog, and the staff were all welcoming and pleasant! This is our 15th Thanksgiving weekend to stay here, and it gets better and better! Thank you to all the QI/IH Staff!

A wonderful base camp for all three national parks. The owners were fabulous. Their puppy graham cracker and my Bailey had fun doing zoomies alol over the property. Extremely pet friendly. Unfortunately never got to the restaurant or bar area. The town of Oakhurst is very cute. I highly recommend staying at the Queens in by the river.

Went on a Monday for 1 night. Got the king room with jetted tub. Jetted tub was great but everything else lacked. Check in was easy but unsafe (guest name on envelope with a key) Doors only have 1 handle lock on the handle that can easily be picked or broken No dead bolt no keyless entry. No black out curtains. King bed was spring mats and squeaky with every movement (uncomfortable). The property itself was clean and nice and quiet.

I recently stayed here for a wedding over the weekend. It’s a cute cabin like inn. The staff is super friendly and everything was clean and the cats at the site are super cute. Their restaurant also had good food. My one thing is to drive down to the property and sometimes parking can be limited depending on time of day but luckily they have parking on the other side of the inn.

The rental cabin itself was nice and clean, everything working as it should, but a bit dusty on a lot of the top portions of the room, the check-in process was hectic, had walked into the office and had dogs barking, and was in the middle of a reception, was told to go to the bar area where the wedding reception was held in order to check in, but not who to talk to at all and was very confusing and offputting. Checkout was a lot smoother and straightforward
