Lake Dorr Cabin

The nature and the setting of the cabin is beautiful. That's where great things about our stay end.
The cabin itself... where do I start... very dirty, if not filthy. Upon our arrival, it looked like it has not been cleaned for at least a few months. Piles of sand on the floor, dirt all over, characteristic smell. The rug in the middle of the living room had a distinguished border of dirt around it and stains all over. The couches were extremely worn and nasty to sit on. I don't think the surfaces like windows sills or shelves have ever been dusted.
As another reviewer pointed out, the fireplace is "out of order", but it doesn't prevent the cabin to be advertised as the one having it. The cabin is also advertised as having 2 queen-sized beds. That's not true. There is 1 queen bed and 2 pull-out couches. Since we counted on 2 queen beds, we had to use one of the couches. When we took off the cushions, we found all kinds of stuff inside the couch. So disgusting - pop corn, bread crumbs, pieces of food. The pull out mattress is not even remotely flat - if you want to have pain in your back, sleeping on this couch is the way to go.
The "best" part - I called the office and told them about the extremely dirty state of the cabin. I was told a cleaning crew would come over the next morning - no one showed up the next morning or the following one (we stayed for 3 nights).
If you value cleanliness at least a little, stay away from this cabin.

This was a very clean, well maintained cabin with fairly nice amenities. The lake was absolutely beautiful and the canoes were fully functional. Overall, the setting was quite serene and lovely. I would not hesitate in recommending this to a family looking for a weekend get-a-way.

First and foremost we picked this cabin because it came with a fireplace and firewood. Sadly when we got there for our three night stay we were given2 small pre-packaged bags of wood that most people would burn through in a couple of hours at home in a firepit. Then we got inside the cabin and found a big sign that said the fireplace was "Out of Order". When we asked about this, we were told that they had no idea why it was listed as out of order it was what they were told 7 months ago when they started... Apparently nobody has looked into it since. It would have been nice to have some kind of notice on the website since they had a MINIMUM of 7 months to update the website. If it had been marked we would not have booked the cabin.

Overall the location was okay. The cabin itself was suitable. The toilet wobbled when you sat on it. The dishes were dirty in the cabinets. For a locations that is both government funded and charges $150 a night on average being booked out for months... you think they could afford to fix these few things.

We called the rangers on Saturday afternoon to ask a question and got the voicemail stating that they are there 7 days a week... they called us back Monday morning.

I am giving this a 2 star rating because it has potential, however it falls GREATLY short of the expectations that we had from everything we read prior to arrival.

The cabin is advertised. We had a great time. The ares was wonderful and was we had a nice get away. The cabin could have been cleaned a little bit better and the pot and pans need to be replaced.

There are some really great off road trails for motor bikes or four wheelers. Pictures are stunning on the property. Bring bug spray, there are definitely ticks.

Cabins great! Very secluded, way back in woods. Represented and advertised accurately. If you want to bake, like food requiring a baking pan etc..,. you will need to bring baking pans, other than that they have assorted dishes. Leave cabin clean and they will refund your security deposit. We have T Mobile cell service and always had a cell phone signal. We visited nearby springs like Alexander Springs, and it was great there! We will be going back!
