About each unit

Almo Creek Cottage · sleeps 7

Almo Creek Cottage sleeps up to seven (a king bed, a hide-a-bed queen, a full sofa bed, and two ottoman beds), with a small fridge/freezer and limited kitchen supplies, in-unit heat and air conditioning, and a private restroom behind the cottage with a flushing toilet and shower. It sits near the park's Ranch House and Willow Glamping Yurt, a couple miles from Smoky Mountain Campground.

The Ranch House · sleeps 8

The Ranch House sleeps up to eight across four bedrooms (a master with a queen bed, a TV room that converts to sleep two more, a bunk room for three, and a quiet room with a twin), with a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious bathroom with a tub/shower, a propane fireplace, Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and an outdoor deck. It sits at the end of a private drive near the park's other two lodging rentals, a couple miles from Smoky Mountain Campground - a different, more central location than this park's own campground.

Willow Glamping Yurt · sleeps 4

Willow Glamping Yurt sleeps up to four (a king bed plus a futon), with electricity, an electric fireplace, a mini fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker. There's no bathroom in the yurt itself - the nearest restroom is about 510 feet away, and showers are a couple miles off at Smoky Mountain Campground. It sits near the park's Ranch House and Almo Creek Cottage, overlooking the park's rock formations and Cache Peak.
