Nice park, easy to walk, cabins are very close to the cave. But if you are staying with children, they don’t have any activities for them to do. Like a playground, campfires, movies or anything that could entertain them in the evening

We stayed in the Historic cabins. Very cute and clean. Great location to hikes and close to visitors center. The only thing that was negative was that the door to the cabin needed better sealing. I put paper in the space where the light came through. Once that gets sealed better, I would give this a 10/10. Very convenient and fun to stay in the national park.

It was larger than expected . Nice the way it was set up with a toilet and shower in the middle . Both bedrooms had small wash sinks. There IS heat and air conditioning . We brought our own tv and dvd player which we put on the shelf in one bedroom . Only one room had a fridge, but that was fine. Only complaint is that we could have used a small card table .
