Attention
Our cabins are very rustic. Each cabin has a ceiling fan, overhead lighting, one electrical outlet, bunk beds (no linen), and a screen porch with table and chairs. Outside each cabin is a picnic table, water faucet, and a ground grill suitable for cooking or a small campfire. All cabins are less than 30 yards to the restroom and about 3/10 of a mile to the playground.
