When we had an issue with our room, the staff was very quick in making it right. Very clean, spacious, and private. A real fireplace and an electric "wood burning stove" were nice touches to make it homey, while also providing a fan in case we got hot. Claw foot tub and a shower in a huge bathroom were super nice as well! The restaurant and coffee shop were both great, and it was super convenient for hiking to the Upper and Lower Falls. We love this place!

Cottage was well set up for 2 couples each have their own room. And would be great also for a family. We ate at the bistro I had the canyon burger and the others had the fish and chips . Food was really good and our waiter Rueben was really good. I love being able to hike to the falls before or after the tourist are all gone . This was our 4 th stay in a 3 year period . The views are impressive.

This place is an absolute gem! Unplug from technology and enjoy the gorgeous mountain surroundings. The hike up to the falls is not to be missed. The cabin was rustic but full of simple upgrades to make you comfortable. The bistro and coffee shop were excellent. You will love your time there 😊

Adele at the front desk was amazing. From the first call to book the large cabin, extra firewood and check out - excellent service. It is a little expensive for 1 night - but I had an Expedia coupon 👍 but totally worth it. My dad has a cane and it was a bit of a mobility challenge to get from cabin 8 to the restaurant and shop/cafe due to steepish paths or stairs so we used the driveway which takes a little longer and still has an incline on the way back. Pros: Beautiful cabins, amazing views and excellent service and the mountain fresh air. Cons: food is pricy and a little bit of mobility challenge. FYI-bring some paper towels and regular glasses. 😉

We loved our stay so much; the cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed. Brittney at the front desk was so helpful and kind. Beautiful views and walks all around the property. It was super quiet despite it being the tour drop off point for johnston canyon waterfall. Check in/check out was easy. We 1000% recommend staying here, worth every penny.

The cabins are so cute, they were lovely to stay in and the beds were very comfortable. One of the lamps had no bulb in. The TV had to be unplugged to turn it off because the Toshiba remote did not work with the TV of another make. So we were not able to adjust the volume either on the BluRay disc we watched. Do eat in the restaurant! Dinner and breakfast were both superb with very friendly staff. Loved the vintage cars around the place.
