Arrived just before dusk, getting into the cabin was no issues, codes worked fine. The place was right sized for us, we enjoy the off the beaten path type of places, this was nice and quiet. The patio space off to the side is great for stargazing, actually a little better than our trip into the park. The park was about mile up the road, which is nice. It was a nice weekend trip to the park and area.

Set the tub to 99 which was nice but would have liked it hotter. The tub experience under the stars was awesome.A great thing about the place is its proximity to the park and it has features that mimic what one sees in the park.
