Great location

To be honest, the cabins were a bit more rustic than I expected. It had what we needed though, and my family really enjoyed our stay. There wasn’t any water in the creek/ravine at the edge of the property, but the manager gave us clear directions for a short drive to a beautiful spot at Christopher Creek with flowing water. We also enjoyed going to Tonto Creek and Woods Canyon Lake.

Cute cozy cabin

I may have missed this in the description, but there are no plates or utensils and no stove top, so bring paper/plastic ware and microwavable food, especially in the winter when the Tavern is only open on weekends. The general store is a 5 minute walk and they do have those essentials if needed. Also note that these cabins are not on the creek. It was nice having a fireplace and the back porch was delightful when the sun came out. Very quiet place in February but Im sure the weekends and summer season is a lot busier. Overall the cabin is comfortable and cozy.
