Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Very clean and cozy cabin (Scarlet) in a great location. We had wild horses in the back and elk in the front. Will definitely be staying here again. Staff was very courteous and professional.”
“We really enjoyed our week-long stay at these cabins. It’s very peaceful and the staff were friendly and helpful. The cabins are tucked away inside large pine trees for a serene experience. The rental rates were fair and reasonable for what you get compared to a hotel. The only complaint we had would be the water was extremely hard (lots of mineral deposits) and the faucet fixtures were a bit dated. Overall, we would definitely recommend these cabins for couples and family vacation stays.”
