About
Medicine Creek State Recreation Area has four lakeside modern cabins in the Shady Bay Campground area, each a two-bedroom unit around 532 square feet with air conditioning, a full bathroom, a furnished kitchen, and a covered deck overlooking the lake. Linens and cooking utensils are provided. Open April through December.
Fees
Medicine Creek's Lakeside Cabins run about $150/night. A $25 one-time pet fee per unit applies (service animals exempt); pets are welcome on a leash no longer than 6 feet.
These cabins are open April through December per the park's pricing page, not year-round like several other parks in this file - closed in the depths of winter.
