Property is in a great location. The cabins are no frills which is what we were looking for. The bathrooms and showers are shared with other guests.

Amazing accommodation. The cabins were warm and cozy, and the bathrooms worked perfectly, hot water always available and spotlessly clean. The fire pit in the middle made our 3 nights so much fun, since we met other guests and shared stories over s’mores. We even got lucky with a live band on Saturday night, the perfect way to close out our stay! Highly recommend it, and it’s only a 15-minute drive from the park’s west entrance!!

When we arrived, it was 45 degrees outside and raining. The windows were open, so it was 45 degrees inside the cabin as well. We turned on the heater to find that it didn't work. We also found dirty towels on the floor next to the shower and hair in the shower basin. We went to the manager, and she said she would bring a space heater. She brought a space heater that took five hours to make the room less cold. We slept fully clothed and under the covers and didn't get much sleep. The next morning, we went into the office and told the manager we would not be spend the 2nd night there, in either cabin, because of the conditions. He said he would refund the 2nd stay for both cabins. We are still waiting for the refund three weeks later. The other cabin had a large window that was being held together with tape and had what looked like a bullet hole through it. Overall, it was a terrible experience.
