Lone Pine Cabins

8/10 Good

"Elk cabin was adorable. Easy to access, staff polite and fruendly. Layout of cabin was perfect. Nice kitchen, couches, bed very hard. Although I enjoyed our stay here and I'm not a picky person, I must point out these issues. There were a nunber of safety issues within this cabin. The tile and floor leading into the tiny bathrrom was broken and falling in. The dishes and pots and pans were not fully clean, There were a few outlets that didnt function and all were very old and loose. Plugs barely stayed in outlets. They appear to be renovating the office and hopefully will address these issues in cabin. Making this a quaint little place."
