Comfortable cabin, pet friendly. Location is within walking distance to showers point with shaded, woodsy hike to trailheads. Also only a few miles to Summer Haven, Marshals Gulch, and Mt Lemmon trails. Waking up to the smell of pine trees and an early morning hike in the mountains is so peaceful, a nice way to reset.

Love this cabin! Nicely kept, great location near multiple trailheads, and my dog loves the yard to play in.

The cabin itself was barely adequate. I saw no indication at all on your website that the cabin was unfurnished with essentials such as sheets, towels, paper towel, etc.
The had are do had as to be impossible to sleep in.
The only saving grace was that the park is wildly beautiful.
We stayed only one night of the two night stay. The cabin was too bad!
