    Amazing place to stay when in the area ...had everything needed even down to Spices and such in the cabinets. Had our grandkids and some family over and every one loved it.
  • Meamor
    Very clean and nice cabins! They are well priced and this is where we will stay when we need a place close to our friends in Mountain Home! 🙂 The lake isn't that far and there is also a hatchery and beautiful Creek right down the road.
  • Jacquelyn Preller
    The cabins are very nice and the people there treated us like family! Definitely will go again soon!
