Great place to get away. Beautiful scenery. I’m glad we brought extra lanterns because there was no lighting. The stove kept the cabin warm at night. Paradise Park And Julian Park Reservoirs were both completely empty. I wish we’d known that before we booked our weekend because we wanted to fish. All in all it was clean and cozy and there was plenty of firewood.

Great location in early fall. Had there been water available this would be a 5 star review

From Vernal, travel west on Highway 121/Maeser-Lapoint Highway, toward Lapoint. After passing the landfill and descending the hill along the curved road, some houses come into view. While approaching Deep Creek Road, look for brown signs to Paradise Park Reservoir.
