Fabulous cabin!!

Three adults and two teenagers had plenty of space. We had everything we needed and all was clean and comfortable. Pictures don’t do justice to the outdoors. So serene and beautiful sitting by the rushing water cascading down over the layers of rock. We can’t wait to go back!

The view of the creek off the back is gorgeous, and the cabin was tidy, nicely furnished, and had a cozy feel while still letting my older teens and I feel like we had plenty of space. All of the attractions we went to were within about 25 minutes of the cabin. (Many were under 20.) It was the perfect spot to come back to after busy days exploring!

Great location and facilities

We stayed in this adorable duplex cabin a couple weekend ago and it was great. The layout is good and there are a lot of child safety features like baby gates and door locks available for use. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils/cooking items. The hot tub was in good working order and the three balconies/patios were a treat to watch the river below. It’s in a community of other cabins which was nice as parking was ample and an easy drive from downtown. Would definitely recommend!

We've found our favorite place!

We absolutely LOVE this cabin! The location is perfect. It's easy to find, easy to get on/off the road, and has spacious parking. The sound of the waterfall out back, was so relaxing. The cabin is beautiful, and clean, and everything worked as it should. It's only a few minutes to get back to the parkway, and all the attractions. We hope to book this cabin again, on our next vacation!

Midweek getaway

Cabin is not what we expected, did not see anything in description of it being a 2 unit cabin. The view of the waterfalls from the decks was amazing, but spider webs on all decks kept us from enjoying them. Cabin was clean but some of the towels and washcloths were stained so bad we wouldn’t use them. I had to call for check-in information and the thermostat was locked at 81 degrees, I was able to reach the host and this was fixed fairly quickly. Location is great and overall we did enjoy our stay since it was just for 3 nights
