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.

We had a great time! It is so private and quiet and the stars at night were amazing! The dock was the perfect spot for morning coffee and sunrise. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. My kind of place, wonderful.

Great time. Hard to find tho. Putting Lake Dorr Cabin in my GPS did not provide any information but went to campground and camp host provided directions and her GPS system did provide information when Lake Dorr cabin was typed in. Would of be nice to have better description of beds 2 sofa sleepers in living room, bedroom 1 a double bed, bedroom 2 had four twins (2 sets of bunk beds) wasn’t sure how many canoes were suppose to be there one description said 3 and one just said canoes there were 2 canoes and 6 life vest 4 paddles. The property is beautiful with lots of wildlife, we saw on the property or in the water: FL sandhill cranes, a red banded water snake, and a bobcat
I will be back to take full advantage of the wonderful cabin.

It was great to see that the dock has been rebuilt. The cabin seems to be getting a little moldy. Not sure how often the filters in the a/c are replaced, but it might help. Overall, it is always a great place to stay and we'll always be back.
