The walk from the parking area to the cabin is a little steep, use caution and understand this may be limiting for some people.

Went to Muir’s Cabin to celebrate my 40th birthday! It was clean, cozy, secluded enough, and relaxing. Only 2 minor issues were the fan in the loft was not working, but AC unit was good enough that it wasn’t too bad AND the 500 piece puzzle ended up being a 499 piece puzzle! Other than that would totally recommend and would love to go back again!

Cute little cabin!
My girlfriend and I had an EXCELLENT stay here. The location gives the perfect amount of privacy. However, make sure you're not taking a car to this location, because I'm not sure if we would've made it if we weren't in my truck. Also, please be aware that the stairs to the lofts with the beds are not pet friendly, so if your fur-babies plan on sleeping with you, you might want to look into other options. The stairs that lead to the beds are steep and could be an issue for some older or less able bodied guests. All in all, we had a wonderful stay!

Anniversary getaway
My partner and I had a great stay. We were so close to everything but still surrounded by beautiful nature. We spent our time playing board games on the great porch and in the hot tub. Thank you!

The Girls Getaway
The accommodations were as described, and the setting was ideal for our time spent. Navigating the walkway down was manageable, but not ideal with luggage and food items, We appreciated all the attention to detail on the interior and especially enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. Thank-you
