"It’s a cute property, perfect for 2 in such a peaceful and beautiful location! Just a few minutes from the main grocery store and the town’s Main Street, you’re away from it all, but still close. The property was clean and inviting and it was easy to find everything we needed or wanted. Would have loved to spend time on the porch, but the weather wasn’t great, so inside was far more inviting. The shower is fantastic and the bed was super comfortable. Would come back and stay in a heartbeat!"

"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!!"
