    We spent 3 nights here, it was so cozy and convenient! The back patio where grill, fire pit, and picnic table is located backs up to national forest so we could hike and wander right in the back yard. Dog friendly , and super thoughtful with extra blankets, paper towels, even a first aid kit

    Expensive for what it was, coffee machine broken, it has a kitchenette not a kitchen, they said they were available if needed but never responded, and not a good bed. It was clean, the fire was nice, great shower, and nice deck.

    Had a great night's stay at the Rainbow Trout cabin. Cabins were clean and cozy, enjoyed the fire pit on the back patio. Close to Creekside and Landmark for dinner and drinks. Relaxed to the view of beautiful stars and the sounds of elk bugling in the distance. Would definitely go back.
