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 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.

beds are not comfortable. noises at night makes it hard to sleep, mouse poo on table in the morning .i cleaned around and pulled cook stove out and mopped it, the water heater i used bleach and hot water and sprayed mouse droppings, there's a lot of dust in bedroom around beds near walls, beds are not for handicap, hard to get out of, need a futon or some kind of bed for handicap. Musty smell under kitchen sink, tried to clean it out, need a locked gate to the facility so random people don't drive up and stare at you. front yard tree needs trimming so you can see the water out window.
need a lock on the inside of back door for safety at night if someone knows the door code,

We enjoy this quiet old simple cabin. It has its own range to cook. Follow their advice, bring our own bedding, towels, hand soap, and trash bags. This is a a cabin where you pack out your own garbage.

This was a gorgeous location from which to explore the surrounding Joe's valley, the San Rafael Swell to the east and the high country of the Wasatch Plateau to the west. Remember to bring your own linens, including bath and kitchen towels. The kitchen was adequately stocked with utensils and pans for preparing meals, but none of the pots/pans had lids. So, bring your own as needed. The range and oven were mostly new, worked fine, but bring your own cookware if you plan on using the oven.

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.

Site capacity

  • Cabin and dwelling are available on a first-come, first-served basis if not reserved.
  • Walk-in reservations are limited to two nights to ensure priority for bookings.
