Beautiful Cabin In the Woods

The cabin was very spacious and perfect for our large family. We never felt cramped or uncomfortable, we had everyone from ages 1 year old to 70 years old and everyone was extremely happy. We enjoyed the game room and the firepit, the hot tub was a huge hit with the younger ones. The management team was incredibly responsive and the communication was amazing. We had a slight issue when someone from our party arrived early and the manager handled with extreme professionalism and grace. I will definitely stay here again!

Overall nice, well kept, with plenty of things to do. Other than the fire pit, there is no flat ground anywhere near. Outdoor activities mostly required going elsewhere. The grandchildren loved the game room. The directions to get there a little too exciting. We found a different way that was much more friendly.

Thanksgiving

We had 13 1/2 (one 7 months pregnant) stay and we had a wonderful time. Had the whole family together for Thanksgiving. Disappointed that the National Park was closed down and that there was a fire ban so we were unable to use the fire pit, but that was no fault of the cabin owners. The hot tub was great to enjoy in the evening instead. We would go back.
