I came up for a weekend wedding for my best friends and needed a place to stay. I am an ambulatory wheelchair user. I can usually transfer when I climb stairs but the cabins absolutely need banisters for safety even though it was 3 steps. I felt extremely unstable even though I had a caregiver with me. The bathroom was extremely narrow. Please try to put shower chairs in the shower units to make things easier. If those improvements were made it would have been easier and without stress before heading to my main event. Also please try to install ramps along the porch lines for easier access even before accessing the cabin spaces

Funky "hotel" but nice cabin/room

The person checking us in (in the restaurant bar) didnt know where our room was located and sent us twice in wrong direction. Finally, taking us through the restaurant kitchen and back "alley" found our room for us. The room was clean and neat, but no bath soap or other lotions/iron/ hair drier. Only 2 bath towels and 1 hand towel. No washcloths. If we had needed any assistance, we had only a phone number for someone off site.

Super cute cabin room. Great 2 night stay. Just 2 minor things- no curtains or blinds in bathroom window & you have to log in to your own tv provider to get any shows.

Rustic and Welcoming

Great spot for a rustic stay! Stayed in a King Cabin with 2 women. It was easy to go into the bar to check in. They were all friendly and helpful. After checking in, we had dinner at the saloon and the smoked brisket was delicious. There were people outside in the common area until around 1am on Friday and Saturday but nobody was too rowdy. Wifi never worked for us
