What Guests Are Saying

The Orange Olsen Cabin offers a beautiful and relaxing getaway, with amenities like hot showers, a propane stove, and a fire pit, making it ideal for unwinding and enjoying outdoor activities. Guests appreciate the handmade kitchen cabinets, comfortable accommodations, and access to nearby biking trails and lakes. However, there are concerns about the digital front door lock security, privacy from local visitors using the free Wi-Fi, and the absence of a refrigerator or air conditioning.

It was nice, but there is a hole in the floor that may be letting mice into the house. It does have electric outlets so you can plug into to charge devices. one of the issues I had was with the bunk beds. The mattresses are hard, and there were rails on both sides of the top bunk and no real ladder and it made it hard for an adult to get up and down the top bunk.

We really enjoyed our time at the dwelling. Everything was very clean. The screen door was damaged when we arrived but it was cool enough not to need the breeze so it was easy to just keep the door closed. Always a pleasure to stay at this location.

Easy to find. Well kept space. Inexpensive, and a good quality. Beautiful area for lots of fun. Stove was a little tricky, but we figured it out.

Arrival & departure

  • A key code is needed for cabin and dwelling access; contact the ranger district to confirm it before arrival.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • 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.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
