You can camp at the campgrounds near the lake, but the mountain sheep herds at the top, plus this view...it's worth the effort to hike up.

Everything was perfect... The hospitality, recommendations & responsiveness! I had the most wonderful time at The Wilds. It actually started to feel like home 🏡🍃❤️🏔 They have such a beautiful property! It's been one of my favorite places to stay through Airbnb, by far. Would highly recommend!

We loved the cozy cabin, the wood fired cook stove, the beautiful river right next to it, and all of the very helpful kind staff, would stay there again and again if we could! Sauna was an especially nice feature after rafting six mile river. No running water or working stove other than wood fired one, be ready to go back in time a bit, but everything you need is just over the bridge at the main cafe building
