What Guests Are Saying

The Orange Olsen Cabin is praised for its peaceful atmosphere, ideal for unwinding away from technology and city life. Guests enjoy comfortable amenities like hot showers, a well-equipped kitchen, and easy access to nearby recreational activities such as biking, fishing, and exploring trails. However, some concerns include security issues with the digital door lock and limited privacy, as well as the need for additional supplies like firewood and a cutting board.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! It was cleaner than expected and we loved the location. We hiked west of the cabin up into the nearby canyon and saw some deer. We hiked east of the cabin to the shoreline and saw a bald eagle. We swam by where the river came out from the west into the reservoir; it was away from the boats and fairly secluded. We had no problems starting fires in the ring and there was firewood already there. It was easy to locate more firewood, as there were piles of dried/dead juniper/sage brush wood, which worked quite well. It was a very simple vacation, and we loved it. Also, the water was AMAZING; best water I've ever had to drink!

This cabin is in a terrific location, close to the reservoir, streams, etc. Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. Nearby there are beautiful areas to visit by car, but not necessary. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It had a newly updated bathroom, new stove, new dishes and pots/pans. The cabin stayed cool even on hot days and heater worked great on cool mornings. The cabin exceeded our expectations and we would stay there again.

Policies & Rules

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.

  • Cabin and dwelling are available on a first-come, first-served basis if not reserved.
