A dedicated shower cabin provides hot and cold water, enhancing the comfort of the stay. Guests can gather in a separate dining cabin, which is equipped with a propane stove, oven, refrigerator, and seating for up to twelve. The second floor of the dining cabin serves as an ideal retreat for children, featuring two twin beds and three sleeping cots. While the camp benefits from running water sourced from a nearby spring, it does not have indoor plumbing, allowing guests to embrace the rustic charm of outhouses as part of their experience.

Weekend Trip to Cone's Riverside Canyon Cabins
What a perfect spot!! Stayed here with a friend while we were on a national parks road trip - the cabin was perfect for two people, with a comfortable bed and the kitchen necessities. The hot tub on the porch was a perfect way to end a long day of hiking. Would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Cone's Riverside Canyon Cabins
The place was very clean, and tidy, everything you could need for a few days away was provided, the wildlife was abundant and the jacuzzi was decent. There's wifi and TV but we never turned it on because we were just loving the chill vibes of the trails, and private deck.
We loved our stay in the Ever After, we saw wild turkeys, bats, elk, and more. The bed was comfy and the fans provided were a nice touch.
The only downsides were the long black hairs stuck to the towels and shower curtains- I have short blonde hair, the slightly loud drunken neighbors in the next cabin over, and the broken tiles on the floor- you should wear slippers to be safe. Overall a great little getaway for us!

Weekend Trip to Cone's Riverside Canyon Cabins
Fantastic spot. Heads up, GPS took me to the wrong spot about 300 ft down the road. So just a warning. Not at all the fault of the owner obviously. Cute cabin, outstanding animal activity going on from.bays, to flying turkeys roosting, all kinds of fun. Everything clean and we did our best to leave it clean too. Great communication. All around. Love this spot and we'll be back fur sure.

Moose Haven was the perfect remote getaway - my dog didn’t want to leave! It was nice being in close proximity to so many trails, but the cabin was also great for a cozy place to read, watch hummingbirds, and relax. I also appreciated the trails recommendations from Patrick and plan to come back to explore them!

Weekend Trip to Gordon Creek RV Park
We stayed in cabin #2 and we loved it! It was a nice get away with a great view! We're pretty private and introverted people so we didn't go out and socialize much, but there was a cafe so we absolutely could have! Everything worked as expected, everything was clean, instructions were provided and they were pretty clear. There were a few discrepancies between what the listing says, the info in the binder, and the text I received, but it wasn't a big deal and was sorted out quickly. There were a few dogs around that were very friendly! We love dogs. The wifi calling wasn't working for me, there is no cell service there - but there is wifi, just something to keep in mind.
