Description
“Four recently remodeled stone and timber cabins are nestled along the Iowa River. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Works Progress administration in the 1930s, these cabins have fireplaces to take the chill off a cool fall day. ‘Pine Creek’ and ‘Bittersweet’ cabins accommodate up to 6 people, ‘Goldfinch’ and ‘Sandstone’ up to four. ‘Pine Creek’ is accessible to the mobility-impaired. Each cabin features a shower, restroom, stove, and refrigerator. Cabin users must provide their own dishes, eating utensils, bedding, towels and other camping items. The cabins can be reserved online through the park reservation system.”
