Everything was wonderful. Would have been easier to find if noted to check in at Grey Wolf.

The cabin atmosphere was nice, unfortunately smores was not an option due to covid. The cabins were clean and comfortable. A NONSTICK frying pan would be nice add.

We didn’t have a good experience with check in. Unfortunately it ruined our experience . Overall , the hotel is okay. It was clean and had a close location to the park . Please keep in mind that some of the cabins can have a duplex style . The walls are paper thin and you can hear your “neighbors.”
