My family stayed at Sly Ranger Cabin early July. Patrons before our arrival left the cabin clean with no crumbs visible on counters, table or floor. We left cabin clean. No mice. We went swimming at the Bridal Falls picnic area, about 9 mi away on Highway 50. Highly recommend the swimming area.

It's a beautiful basic cabin in the woods - we really enjoyed taking walks in the trees and enjoying Sly park. The cabin doesn't have a lot of frills, but it's great it that's what you're looking for.
