Nice setting for cabins. I wish more parks had these. You have to know how to utilize windows for cooling down at night, and closing in the morning to keep cooler longer. Propane heater pilot light does add a little heat.
Windows all seem like they could use some wax, as some are very hard to open. Some cabin's window shades need attention. But all in all, I plan on staying every year. Very relaxing location.

The cabins at Manzanita Lake are in a fine place to enjoy the outdoors. A number of hikes are nearby as well as the lake for kayaking. There is a camp store nearby that is convenient and well run. This is the fifth year in a row that I have rented these cabins.

Manzanita Lake Campground and cabins is a beautiful and peaceful location. I stayed in one of the small cabins and enjoyed the experience. There was a bear locker, picnic table, and fire ring close by the cabin. A vault toilet and water tap was a short walk away, and the showers and flush toilets less than .2 mi. The store staff was very helpful with firewood and the shower pass, and the campground was well maintained and clean. I recommend this location and would stay again.

A wonderful location and family friendly place to stay. The cabin was beautiful! We stayed in seven with our kids and had a view of the lake.
