What Guests Are Saying
East Creek Cabin is a fantastic, recently renovated space set in a beautiful location, ideal for enjoying the outdoors. Reviewers appreciated the provided firewood and the charming front yard with river access. However, the cabin may feel a bit cramped for larger groups, with a recommendation to limit occupancy to four for comfort.

Beautiful space with a nice front yard and easy access to the river. The cabin was a little tight for five people. For comfort, I recommend a maximum of 4 people in the smaller cabins.

Was unable to make it to East Creek cabin due to unknown trail conditions, potential avalanche danger, and unavailable personal equipment. Poor planning and poor timing were major factors.

Nice cabin even though it's dark, need bigger windows. Lots of "dirty snow" from people urinating and dogs. Nice wood supply
