The cabin is basic, but has everything you need, even a little refrigerator with a small freezer convenient for refreezing your ice packs.

Really cute place and I liked the ambiance of the historic cottage. However some lights on the path would make it much safer to walk there at night

The room was nice and the staff was amazing, but pass on the "historic cottages" as they are a bit rough. The rangers who conducted the tours are well versed and quite knowledgeable about the caves and the park.

Very nice for a historic cabin. Would have been nice to have a microwave to accompany the fridge and coffee pot. Also, were awaken several times in the night to the scurrying of small critters. Didn’t appear to get into our stuff, and we didn’t see them, so maybe they were in the walls?

They put us in a room that was under construction. There was no running water or electricity! I couldn’t even flush the toilet! It’s illegal and they won’t refund my money. Terrible establishment. Very disappointed!

The view of the woods was great!! The carpeting should have been replaced long ago. The shower easily let water all over the floor. The framed artwork on the walls were falling appart.
The associated restaurant was TERRIBLE. It was a Sunday and staff said they always ran out of many items on weekends. The shrimp that were left were terrible! A fan that could not be turned off was very loud and made conversation impossible!!
