Quite woodland retreat. A wonderful cabin with two beds and a sitting area with TV and eating area. Great size room, not far from the main building where you order your dinner to go and eat it in your cabin due to COVID Friendly staff Bring your shampoo and conditioner

Worth a look
Quick overnight getaway with friends. Basic with few frills but, peaceful and tranquil. Staff even called to check on check in time to ensure we didn't miss out on ordering food. Definitely worth a visit if you don't mind simple clean accommodations.

Quiet comfortable cabin stay
I've always wanted to stay at these cabins. I've frequented Giant City park quite often. This was my first trip back in years and I'm glad I booked this. Covid restrictions didn't impact our stay here at all. Staff was extremely friendly. I drove in from Chicago and was experiencing heavy traffic, the staff was very accommodating for our late check in. I will definitely be returning.
