We liked our historic cabin. It was clean and comfortable and the restaurant on site and coffee counter were great as this is in a relatively remote location. Great access to Johnson Canyon hike!

Loved the character of the place: a throwback to the 1930s with cabins, vintage cars and memorabilia, but with modern amenities. Fhsh & chips at the Blackswift Bistro was the best I've ever had.
