A Better Life Cabins & Campground

We stayed here in mid September. Rates are good, easy to book a reservation. We were specifically looking for small, cheap, rustic cabins. We feel like coming into the mountains and staying in a big hotel would be cheating. The cabins are fine. Comparing them to the cabins at sunnybrook cottages in Albany, they were a little less «rustic & authentic» but better equipped. There was plenty of hot water for two of us. They are a little out of town, but that’s what we were looking for. The drive into town is gorgeous.
The woman we spoke to at the desk was very friendly. Places like this are not filed with the amenities of a more extensive hotel room, but we never expected them to be. We stayed here for peace and quiet, which we got. Road noise is minimal.

These cabins were okay. Reservations were a breeze and there was good communication while making reservations. Nice little porch. Very tight bathrooms. All rooms very small but if you want minimal space but a warm bed this place is fine. Kinda far out of town so keep that in mind if you want to party in town. Do your partying in town because once you get back out here there is nothing! This place is very close to the main road so you will hear and see traffic albeit minimal. There is a library on the premises. Also a laundry which I did use and all went well. Dryer not scalding hot like a lot of public places. fire pit and grills. Clean and no bugs. You will have dishes and pots and pans. Also a microwave and two gas burners. Heating the cabin was adequate.
Didn’t like it that the store was never open even when I talked to the owner who said it would be open from one to seven that day. Well it wasn’t open at all and not once in the days we were there. I saw probably five cars pull up to the store the three days we were there, only to pull away in search of an open store. Nope. Did not like that one bit. Also when I went to their facebook page a full six weeks before our arrival to ask a very simple question and they never got back to me.
ABL cabins were fine but the store never being open (we stayed late Sept so not off season) especially when I had a personal conversation with the owner left a negative impact on me as did the unanswered FB question.
