About each unit

Camping Cabins · sleeps 5

Mina Lake Recreation Area's Camping Cabins are simple one-room, log-style cabins sleeping four to five people, furnished with a set of bunk beds, a double bed, and a table with benches. Electricity, heat, and air conditioning are provided, but there's no running water, bathroom, or kitchen inside - bring your own water container, sleeping bag or bedding, cooking gear, a cooler, toiletries, and a flashlight. Outside, each cabin has a fire grate, picnic table, and a covered porch. Some cabins are pet-designated (with an added pet fee); others don't allow pets at all, so ask when booking if you're bringing a dog or cat. Some are also wheelchair-accessible, with an accessible picnic table, porch ramp, and wide doorway - ask when booking if that matters for your stay. Mina Lake Recreation Area has 1 of these cabins.

Modern Cabin · sleeps 8

Mina Lake's Modern Cabin is a two-bedroom unit sleeping 6 to 8 people (a queen bed, two full beds, and two twin beds), with a full kitchen (oven/range, microwave, full-size refrigerator/freezer, cookware, and place settings for 8), air conditioning, heat, and a fireplace. It sits with lake access and its own dock. Pets are allowed - a doghouse and kennel are provided on-site.
