So Peaceful
Loved how secluded this place was and the proximity to Johnston Canyon. Our bungalow was very comfortable. We wished we could have had a microwave in our room, but, not complaining about that!!

Cabin was rustic but nice. No air conditioning. Restaurant on site was pretty good but pricey. On same property as Johnston Canyon. It was nice to be able to hike Johnston Canyon in the evening when it was not crowded.

The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The gas furnace was actually quite charming. Bathroom was a bit cramped and kind of chilly.

Quant little cabin. Warm and toasty for our wet days on the trails. Very comfy beds clean. Refrigerator was in the room and we had a microwave brought in front m housekeeping. We ate our food that we brought because there was only one restaurant at the facility and it was very expensive. Would recommend.
