We enjoyed every moment of our stay at Chinook. Each log cabin has its own unique theme- we noticed Sunset, Southwest, and Americana while walking around the beautiful property. The cabin was spotless, spacious, and clearly well cared for. Ours had a cozy fireplace, an adorable kitchen, and a grill right outside. The owners, Cheryl and Keith, were incredibly kind and hospitable. We arrived a bit early, and they went out of their way to get us into our cabin as soon as possible. They even checked in on our second day to make sure we had everything we needed- people like this are rare, and we were so grateful. Another highlight of Chinook is the setting. The cabins and RV park sit at the base of a stunning mountain. It was the perfect backdrop for a peaceful getaway.

Nice cozy cabins that are always clean and welcoming! Very unique place because all of the cabins have their own unique theme! My husband and i's favorite is the route 66! 😃 We also love the moose lodge for when we have our children with us! The owners are very friendly and accommodating! We have been to Chinook Cabins 6 times and have always had an amazing experience!

It was a beautiful and relaxing vacation for us! The 4 of us stayed in a cabin that had more than enough room for everyone. It has historic charm and is rustic, but amazingly comfortable and warm - even for the end of December! We loved spending New Year's Eve and it was so special being able to go to the hot springs during the day and go there at night. The hosts are fabulous and there's good breakfast places nearby. Also, nighttime there is great for star gazing! I highly recommend this spot if you're in the area and want a quiet, safe, peaceful, clean place to relax with you and your loved ones. 10/10 will go again!!

The cabins are always very clean and have everything you could possibly need to have a great vacation. The owners are great people - very friendly and knowledgeable about the town and all the things there are to do there.
