Great place. Not the newest, but has everything one would expect or want. Very comfortable. Very positive is the spacious and accessible riverside location - no floating dock. Made it much more appealing. Only downside was neighbor who must have bought a new leaf blower and spent three hours using it on one day of our stay. Otherwise, very great stay. Recommended.

BEST PLACE EVER!!!

Everything was just as described. Very beautiful place and an awesome view. The screened in patio that overlooked the river was amazing! We spent alot of our time there. My daughters boyfriend proposed to her by the river as well this week so Lil Shangri-La will always hold some great memories for us. WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!!!

Anniversary Trip

This was our third visit and as always we love it. The weather was perfect, flowing river with cool breezes was so calming and soothing. The beds are the most comfy of any Heber place we’ve stayed. Communication with property manager is always great. We highly recommend this place!

Perfect Cabin on the River

We loved our stay at the cabin- perfect spot right on the river. Cabin was super clean and plenty of supplies. The river and lawn were beautiful! We hope to come back sometime when the dam isn’t generating so much - water was very high and fast. Very relaxing trip for our family!!
