About each unit
Indian Creek Cabins (6)
Priest Lake State Park's Indian Creek Unit has six cabins: two sleep up to 6 (one of them, Grizzly Cabin, allows pets), three sleep up to 5, and one sleeps up to 8. Each has electricity, heat, and lockable windows/doors, with a centrally-located restroom rather than one in the cabin. Most reservations include one tent-camping spot alongside the cabin (Moose Cabin is the one exception - no tents there). Open year-round. This park's separate Lionhead Unit also has a cabin, but it's booked as a whole-group venue via lottery (sleeps up to 50 combined with its RV sites) rather than an individual family rental, so it isn't covered by this listing. No individual per-cabin coordinate is published - the map point shown is this park's own Indian Creek location.
Schaefer Cabin · sleeps 6
Schaefer Cabin sleeps up to 6 (a twin bed with a pullout trundle, a queen bed, and a futon couch). Pets aren't allowed. This park's own page describes it as a "Stand Alone" cabin, genuinely separate from both the Indian Creek and Lionhead units, but doesn't publish its own address or coordinates - a real, disclosed gap, so the map point shown here reuses this park's Indian Creek location rather than guessing a different one. Requires a rental contract through the standard reservation process.
This property's own page states it's available year-round.
