The cabin was very comfortable. Kitchen has dish ware and basic cookware. We enjoyed the fireplace and electric heater. The cabin area was very quiet even with all the tourists on the trail. We really enjoyed our stay.
Tough hole to the ink pots but so worth it.

The bathtub was extremely slippery. Falls are dangerous. Either tub mats should be provided or non-slip appliques should be put on the tub bottom. We had to put the cloth mat that is normally used when stepping out of the tub in the tub to keep us from falling while showering.

Great staff, needs new beds and could use touch up

Great staff, beautiful area. For what we paid, it could definitely have had some more updating, and the bed was an old coil spring mattress. The cabins have paper thin walls.
