The CCC house was perfect for us. It has two Queen beds and one single, all comfortable (you bring all bedding and pillows). The kitchen had more amenities than I was expecting but no can opener. You might wasn’t to bring your food if you are thinking about preparing any meals. There are a couple of very small stores with limited choices. It’s a magical place and I feel lucky we were able to soak it all in for a few days!

We loved Portal and staying at the CCC house. It was fun exploring and using the cabin as a base. We were impressed by how well stocked the cabin was and that there was hot water!!! The microwave was broken but everything else worked fine.

Easy to find and load-in. Clean and neat and everything worked.

Overall, we had a good stay. Excellent location, comfortable beds, adequately-equipped kitchen (BYO knife, like most rentals). Camping wasn't an option due to physical needs and the cabin worked well for us. Some notes for those who prefer a less rustic experience: The cabin currently has 2 beds (double or queen) - no bunk, no futon, no easy-chair. The only seating is the dining room table/chairs. All the bulbs were out in the front bedroom (which is also the main entrance to the cabin), so we used camping lights. Pay attention to the note about cleaning: guests are not just expected to sweep and take garbage out - they ask that we scrub the bathroom, mop, etc. Instructions in the cabin say they "try" to have a professional cleaner once per month. That said, the cabin was clean when we arrived and we did our best to leave it in the same condition. I can imagine not being so lucky if you stayed after the wrong group. The folks who staff the adjacent visitor center are fantastic, but they are not responsible for the cabin, so there isn't anyone onsite to assist.
