Pioneer Cabin North at Lion Mountain Retreat, Acres Surrounded by Public Land

10/10 Excellent
"My family spent two nights here with our young boys. Finding the location was very easy. Google Maps got us right to the entrance. The cabin was great, we had everything we needed. The night lows were in the upper 40s and the cabin was perfectly toasty. We were a little nervous about the loft and just pulled the pads down and slept our boys on the floor, which worked great. The walk to the bathroom was maybe 20 feet, which was not a big deal at all and the bathrooms were really nice and clean. Plus it has a washer and dryerBut what’s the best part of all? The property! We came to see the Draconid meteor shower. The stars were amazing! We played and adventured around. We used the log fire sauna which worked so well, it got up to 170 and the cold plunge tub too. We cooked breakfast outside on the blackstone. My boys had so much fun. I’m so glad we stayed here instead of a boring hotel/motel. We would definitely return"
