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 cabin was sparkly clean, the front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the location couldn’t be any better. The most personal touch was that they left a welcoming note and a bottle of wine on the dining table before our arrival. We loved the experience and looking forward to going back.

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 😊

What a gem! Cute, well kept cabins of all sizes on a beautiful property by the creek. Coffee/gift shop and restaurant/cafe are just down from the cabins. It is actually on the trailhead to several hikes which makes it extra convenient for an early start or even an evening stroll in nature.

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.
