The cabin was very comfortable and cozy. Check in was easy. The cabin we stayed in didn't have a full kitchen, but the host was very accommodating and provided some plates and tongs for the grill so we were able to make dinner. Just be aware there isn't full kitchen amenities, just a fridge and microwave. We enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again!
This cabin was perfect for our family stay of a few days. Cute and quaint, great for our dog as well.

I had a wonderful time with my son at this family friendly cabin. The cabin is in a quiet area where we enjoyed the cool mountain air. We enjoyed hiking at Tonto Natural Bridge Park and Waterwheel Falls trail which were not far from the cabin. We had an awesome dinner at The Creekside restaurant. We will definitely be back. Check in and out were easy.
Nice and clean little cabin worked well for our family. We prefer to travel with food and cook ourselves, so that part was a bit difficult not having a real kitchen area. All in all it was a good experience.
I took my 20 year old son and my 2 dogs. It was great! We had never seen elk and there was quite a few. We also saw cows and a white tailed deer. We went on many hikes. The cabin was great! My son stayed on the second floor and I was on the first. He loved the cabin! A porch in the front and back, hammocks on the trees. This place was well taken care of and the grounds were also.
I loved my stay and the general manager, Justin, is amazing! We had a couple glitches that were my fault and he took care of everything! I can’t wait until I can return! Beautiful area and rustic but beautiful cabins! Thank you again

Place was nice and clean. Wish it had a stove and a grill outside.
The community grill out in the courtyard was busy so people had to wait. The ignitor was also missing so it was kinda scary to light it with a lighter.
The remote for the tv wasn't working correctly so called to get it fixed. Another one arrived like 2 hours later.
Overall it was ok. Price was right and it was warm inside.
pros - close to willow springs lake
inexpensive
clean and warm
keurig machine
corn hole
hammocks
cons- tv remote issues
tv channels limited (no espn)
crowded community grill(with only one other cabin
using it.
no stove
corn hole bags had holes in them
hammocks were dirty
