Beautiful and Peaceful. Large room, wonderful sunrise views and amazing breakfasts. Friendly staff that respect your privacy and peace, so much that on a couple occasions I couldn’t find anyone. But if you want a quiet get away with a loved one, you’ll get it here.

Cabin was clean. Staff were super friendly. Zach was the bomb! Quiet setting which made it a great space to relax and unwind. Enjoyed the community fire pit with our neighbors. First time staying at Two Capes and in a mirrored cabin. It was a great experience!

This rustic set of handrails was installed on a group of switchbacks in the center of the park. The switchbacks below the handrails and those above are no more perilous than those where the handrails are installed. Just less interesting to photograph, I guess.
