Nestled on the shore of its own private lake, the Montecito Sequoia Lodge is an all-inclusive year-round family camp resort. Accommodations include hotel rooms, family suites and free-standing cabins scattered around the grounds, most with views of the lake or mountains. Most rooms include a private bath and other basic amenities, but no televisions, phones or air conditioning. An all-you-can-eat buffet with a wide choice of options is offered three times a day, as well as snacks and drinks. While the lodge offers plenty of year-round activities, such as cross-country skiing, ice skating and sledding in the winter, Montecito Sequoia Lodge is most popular for its Summer Family Camp. Camp runs for 10 weeks each summer. There are a variety of activities and programs for children and adults of all ages, including hiking, fencing, Yoga, theme nights, open-mic night, archery, arts and crafts, equestrian and land and water activities. In 2006, Good Morning America rated it one of the best family resorts in the country.
