It was a pleasure to stay in such a historic facility (built by the CCC) showing excellent craftmanship and pride in the work performed and that it has been so well maintained. Our cabin was comfy and cozy and very clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, we did not get a chance to try the restaurant, but the offerings looked good.

The room was clean. It was warm and kept the chill off of us. The fireplace warmed the room up quickly. The bathroom is old but roomy and functional. The construction of the cabin was really interesting with all those logs and the stone fireplace.

The woods themselves are magical! Maps available at the gift shop. The cabins are from the 1930s so they're small, but has a shower and stone fireplace so it's a great value when you want to go camping but don't want to spend hours setting up & tearing down. Some of the facilities could use some maintenance, but for being nearly 100 years old, this is a great, safe park. The restaurant is gorgeous inside, but the food leaves something to desire. I get it, it's hard to run a restaurant, but maybe going full-bakery to focus on your amazing pies & collaboration with Jens bread or bake your own instead of a greasy spoon restaurant with the tired classics. Soup with panini press sandwiches, pie, and coffee would be more streamline for the restaurant and would encourage Door Dash or anyone who wants a quick, delicious bite, which isn't easy to find in the area.

We have stayed at White Pines cabins for many years and love it. We especially go during the week and in the off-season - we practically have it all to ourselves. The meals at the lodge are always plentiful and delicious (we bought a whole peach cobbler to take home, it was so good!). The beds are comfortable, the gas fireplace makes it very cozy. There's a small fridge, but no microwave (no cooking in the cabins). And the firepits outside are welcoming to small gatherings. We've been there in different seasons and both the heat and a/c work well. The only drawback is that the shower is rather small for my 6'4" and hefty husband. There are many very walkable trails; even one for those with disabilities. Children can play in a small play area (swings and a crickly slide). Over near the tent camping area are a couple fords where you can splash and cool off in the water. There are a few local restaurants we like to frequent. Whenever we return to White Pines, it's like coming home.

Off the beaten path treasure!

Off the beaten path, but SO much better than staying at a chain hotel! Cabins are older, but in excellent shape. Very comfortable bed, gas fireplace and so much charm.

My daughter and I Ioved the cabin and the quiet, peaceful surroundings. All the staff personnel we met were friendly and accommodating. The food in the restaurant was good; we had supper there the day we arrived and we also enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Best of all, the hiking trails and nature. Our cabin was small, but it was equipped with everything we needed. I'm a huge fan now and I'm sure we'll come back.

I needed an overnight stay on a trip from Georgia to Minnesota. This place seemed quaint, and it is. The grounds are very nice and well kept. There is a cute gift shop and a restaurant on site. The room however...was pretty archaic. Rustic and cabin like, but if you are looking for hot water, a place to plug in a device, forget it. I had to plug the coffee pot in on the floor to use it. No outlets located conveniently. The worst of it was when we pulled the trundle bed out and found a chewed up frito bag and mouse droppings. The bathtub had bar soap from a prior resident. There was a tip envelope for the maid service. Audacious! We slept on our own blanket to keep from getting dirty. Not recommended until they do some reno and cleaning.
