9.2/10 Wonderful! (66 reviews)
I booked the Adventure Cabin for the weekend but didn't even stay one night. The map makes everything look much closer than it actually is but getting to the bathhouse was basically a hike and the walk to the pottapotty was a long walk up and down a gravel road. The property is much more remote than I realized, and once you arrive there's no cell service. I drove a Kia Optima and wasn't aware the roads really require an SUV or truck, and the rough drive to the cabin left my tires flat. The cabin itself was much smaller than expected, had a strange smell, and the Wi-Fi didn't work, which was a dealbreaker since I needed to stay connected with my son at home. I also found it odd that the regular grill that was supposed to come with the cabin wasn't available due to fire season, yet they offered a rental grill for $25. In the end, I lost my money and had to book somewhere else. If you're looking for a very secluded stay and don't mind long walks to a shared bathroom and shower, the Adventure Cabin may be for you, but it definitely wasn't for me.
