Located near the park entrance, instruction given for after hours check in but the assigned property is a bit tricky to find in the dark. Facility was great with kitchen, washroom with jacuzzi spa, and fireplace providing heating. Overall good experience staying in this cabin right in the Cradle Mountain National Park.
