About each unit
Stone Cabins · sleeps 3
Original Civilian Conservation Corps stone cabins built in the 1930s along a bluff with views of the valleys around Monte Sano Mountain, each a 600-square-foot studio with one full-size bed, one twin-size bunk bed, a love seat, a dining table, a full bath, and central heating and air conditioning. Kitchen has a microwave, refrigerator, oven, toaster, coffee maker, and dinnerware/utensils for 4. Cable TV, picnic table, fire pit, and a working fireplace. Bed linens and towels provided. Cabins 6-9 (a subset of this tier) are pet-friendly ($200 cleaning fee if a pet is in a non-pet-friendly cabin); this park's one ADA cabin (#14) is a wood-frame cabin, a separate record. Sleeps a maximum of 3 (up to 4 allowed per fire code, extra charge for more than 2 adults). Non-smoking; camping is not allowed at the cabins.
Wood-Frame Cabins (12, 13 & 14) · sleeps 3
Three wood-frame cabins at Monte Sano (Cabins 12, 13, and 14) - unlike this park's stone CCC cabins, these do NOT have an indoor fireplace, but each has a screened-in porch. Same 600-square-foot studio layout as the stone cabins otherwise: one full-size bed, one twin-size bunk bed, love seat, dining table, full bath, and central heating and air conditioning; kitchen with microwave, refrigerator, oven, toaster, coffee maker, dinnerware/utensils for 4. Cabin 14 is Monte Sano's one ADA-accessible cabin, with a queen-size bed and a handicap-accessible shower. Not among the cabins 6-9 this park's own page names as pet-friendly. Sleeps a maximum of 3 (up to 4 allowed per fire code). Non-smoking; camping is not allowed at the cabins.
