Within minutes of arrival we saw our first big bull elk alongside the road beside Pine Haven Cabins, he was posing very nicely for all the cameras until a few over eager tourists invaded his personal space! We enjoyed the Cowboy Cabin and Elk Horn Cabin immensely. We were surprised by how different the firewood that was provided was from what we were accustomed to (we use hardwood in Maine, I longed for a few nice sticks of beech and maple to make the fire last longer) but the pine sticks were nice for a quick fire and to give one the ambience of having the crackle and soft flicker of a fire in the cabin. We were a little disappointed that after a long and cold snowy ride on horseback our cabin was not available at aprox 4pm for us to check into the day we needed to switch cabins, especially after leaving our other cabin virtually spotless at 7am that morning and reading reviews about how much they had done for previous guests that were moving between cabins. That said, take our disappointment with a grain of salt, as George and Joan had a mishap with the cleaning cart that day and another cabin that was left a disaster, and an employee who disappeared on an impromptu break( it was murphy's law in action!) and it slowed production but once we arrived they put all forces towards the task of making things right and getting our cabin fixed up and promptly ready and it was VERY clean and beautiful when we made it in. The attention to detail in the decor was amazing, and Fresh lillies - wonderful! We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it as a great place for friends, it is 5 min or so from the park, and a quick drive into town. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed having our own place to go to to fix meals. My five year old daughter loved the playground and the hot tub. We also saw a fox one evening near the edge of the cabins. We would love to come back and explore the hiking trails and maybe do some fishing in the river and cook on the grills! We enjoyed the wi-fi hookup since cellular service was not available this allowed us to stay connected with family at home. Our only suggestion would be a little memory foam pad for the mattresses, my poor old back did not take the standard mattress with grace, but the five year old had no complaints! George was so affable and friendly, he was a sweetheart to my daughter and even gave her a little gift to take home, his generosity and kindness was greatly appreciated!
