Everything was great. We travel a lot internationally but I don't recall any other place being even close. Everything is new and in perfect working conditions. The doors, the windows, the fan, the bathroom, the kitchen, the lights... Even some minor details were well designed and worked as intended.

We came to hike in the park and when we had a 100% rain and fog day, we were so happy to have such a comfortable home away from home for downtime. We stayed in one of the new cabins and it had everything we needed. The bonus was the resident cat Lucky who we met up with a few times during our stay. Thank you for providing such great acommodations in National Park Village.
