We encourage all of our guests to purchase travel insurance. FALLS TRAIL SYSTEM UPDATE: 11/29/25: The upper loop of the Falls Trail will be under its annual winter closure beginning Saturday 11/29/25 as there is ice forming on the trail and prolonged cold in the forecast. This includes everything above Waters Meet and the Highland Trail. The upper portion of the trail will be closed to all except registered ice climbers and hikers who have signed in with the park office and have the required minimum safety gear of: Crampons (not micro-spikes), an ice axe, and rope.

The lower portion of the Falls Trail from Route 118 up to Waters Meet will be open to all for a little while longer and will close when ice begins to form there as well. This advisory will be updated once the lower portion is added to the closure.

Cabin was so cute. Beautifully decorated and stocked with all the essentials. Road noise was there as you are right off a busy highway. I enjoyed it. But some may not. Only downside is the upstairs was rather hot seems the air conditioning did not make it all the way up there. Owners were very attentive and responsive. I would go back again.
