The type of lodging (little log cabin among trees) was the best ever. Quiet all around, very cozy cabin, decor inside was superb, rustic but very comfortable, room was large, fireplace was excellent, bathroom was good, and overall atmosphere was superb. Next time I will only stay at this establishment, beats any modern hotel, especially in an outdoor setting.

Having my own cabin with a fireplace was a really comfortable way to relax each evening after the day's hikes. Mine had a frig and microwave, but I ate at the on site bistro almost daily, which was really good. The WiFi works in the cabin, and i did watch some movies as well. The cabins are close together, but it still feels like your own little space; quiet and cozy.

Great place to stay. Super convenient right next to Johnston Canyon . Cabin was very welcoming with gas furnace. Onsite restaurant and bakery was great to have. No tv but they have dvds to watch… had some trouble with the dvd player that would get stuck halfway through the movie, otherwise I highly recommend this place.

Staying at Johnston Canyon Resort helped us avoid the crowds while hiking the Canyon later in the evening after we checked in. The family cabin had 3 beds small table and mini fridge and was a great fit for our family of 4. Mature trees around the cabins kept it cool. We enjoyed the bbq area and pickle ball court. This is a great place to stay to enjoy the outdoors without having to camp!
