We ended up enjoying our stay in these tiny cabins. They were a little tight but they were properly described in the listing. We figured out how to maneuver. As old travelers headed to a cruise, we have luggage. These cabins really don't have space for opening a suitcase. We managed. The heat was weak downstairs but warm upstairs. The water was hot. We enjoyed our two nights.

These cabins are tiny, as described, and it’s important to know what you’re booking. The main floor has a small sink/counter, shower stall, separate toilet room, and a small 2-person couch under the ladder that folds into a bed. A ladder leads to the sleeping loft. While the roof peak is around 7 ft, most of the loft has much less headroom.For their size, the cabins are well stocked with fluffy towels, warm flannel sheets, and fleece blankets. Alpenglow has a refrigerator smaller than a typical dorm fridge; Aurora’s is slightly larger. The cabins are solar powered, so be conscious of energy use. Lighting is minimal, there’s one very small mirror over the shared kitchen/bathroom sink, and no hair dryer.These are rustic, off-grid cabins. You can see daylight through some cracks that have been sealed with clear caulk, and cold nights can be chilly. The heater keeps the loft warm, but downstairs stays cooler. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs. While they are away from the highway, you still get quite a bit of road noise. If you want a house, this isn’t it. If you want a unique, off-grid experience, I highly recommend it. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again!
