Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was stuffy and therefore smell bad. They don’t provide paper towel, but instead provided cloth towels with gross stain. Though it’s nice to hear river from the room and the environment around the cabin was clam, quiet and descents. The overall experience was poor. I didn’t even want to take any pictures as it just gross me out.

The cabin was set in a quiet, tranquil place. It was easy to check-in and check-out. We were glad that there were many options of things to see within the park. The one thing that we didn't like was the size of the shower stall, but we made do.
