small chilly room

Our stay was very brief (arriving at 11 pm the previous night and leaving by 7 am the following morning), and we found the room (#6) to be smaller than we had imagined. There wasn't a table to keep our phones on. Also, the rooms were clean. The caretaker left the AC on so when we arrived, it was very chilly. Overall, it's a nice location to visit the nearby national parks, and thats what mattered to us.

I stayed in a cabin/shed, which was a step up from camping! The bed was comfortable and it had an air conditioner and television, which both worked well. It was fine for the single night but I would do the regular room with attached bathroom if I were to stay longer.

Great location. Room was teeny tiny. Towels had hair stuck in them from other people. Noisy-very thin walls.

Worst place we ever tried to check into.

Was advertised as “creekside chalet” and “panoramic”. Uh no! It was basically a shed out back, no creek, and the back of the establishment looked like a third world country. And this unit was out back with a view of all of that. Walked in, walked out, got back in the car and just started driving. Went to Fresno for a hotel. They also denied our request for refund otherwise I probably wouldn’t have typed this bad review. Luckily hotels.com gave us some of it back. I don’t recommend

We waited nearly an hour for a simple salad while no table received any food—servers only circulated beers, apparently to push alcohol sales. When questioned, staff became defensive and blamed a non-existent “large group.” Back at our cabin, the door code failed. It took 40 minutes and a battery swap before maintenance let us in. Inside, one shower lacked cold water and the other bathroom door wouldn’t lock. Poor service, shabby maintenance, and manipulative sales tactics made this a miserable stay. Look elsewhere for your national-park visit.

We LOVED staying here. The cottages are super cute. I love how well lit they are at night, especially needing to use the restroom in the middle of the night. My only complaint is the doors to the restrooms/showers and laundry room/kitchen were always unlocked despite the fine print in the instructions for using those facilities stating how to lock them and to please lock them when exiting. Unfortunately that made me feel significantly less safe. Going to the restroom in the evening or middle of the night was very creepy not knowing how long it was left unlocked or who had gone in there. It was also frustrating that I paid an extra $10 to use the laundry/kitchen area but since it was unlocked at all times due to other guests I probably didn’t need to pay like I’m assuming some others didn’t. Aside from the door issue I LOVED staying here. Super cute, clean, and friendly staff.
