What Guests Are Saying
Canyon Creek Cabin offers a cozy and well-maintained retreat, ideal for two people, with comfortable beds and a great fireplace for warmth. Guests appreciate the abundance of firewood and the beautiful surroundings, perfect for photography and fishing. However, some noted the rough access roads, the need for improved fencing, and reminders to bring supplies like propane and toilet paper.

Please see our past review from September 19, 2021 for more detailed info.
More below for this visit.
We are taking off a star for this visit as the rear window has been broken out. In the journals it seems it has been like this for over 6 weeks. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Also, there was hardly any firewood so thankfully we had brought some and left enough for a few more guests.
It's a rough drive for a car up to Vipond Park but it's really worth it! You also can see the road to the cabin and look down at the charcoal kilns from up there. Got to see some moose up there too.
Bring some waders or high boots to hike the creek up the canyon. It was a blast!
There were only about 6 pages left in the journal so if somebody could bring a blank hardcover book for future guests it would be appreciated.
We remembered how bad the windows were so we brought razor blade scrapers and window cleaner and spent a lot of time getting the windows cleaned. Did not get the outside windows that were covered with nailed down screens though. Still we made a huge improvement.

The is one of my favorite cabins!
We skied in 5 miles to get to it and it was a super great ski.
Plenty of supplies (paper towels, dishes, garbage bags) and wood. Plenty of wood to split to replenish the split wood pile for the next people.
**there is no lantern**
Inside the cabin, it says there should be a back up stove, there is not one. But the current stove works great.
**Bring 2 AAA batteries for the twinkle lights if you'd like. They are great for the dark winter nights!
Highly recommend!!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
