Donnelly Creek State Recreation Site

Charming cabin with a cozy ambiance. Location is excellent, plenty to explore. We stayed in cabin 5 and were pleased to find a large refrigerator, which we stocked with snacks, drinks, and food for the week. However, our excitement was short-lived, as we woke up to find that our food had spoiled due to the refrigerator's malfunction. Although the freezer functioned properly, the bottom section did not cool at all. The lodge offered a $50 cash reimbursement, which did not cover our losses, and a voucher for a salad or burger at the adjacent restaurant, where we ended up spending over $40 on drinks and an appetizer. The TV remote control did not function correctly, making it difficult to access our desired channels. The bed was extremely firm, but the pillows were exceptional. The tub was quite small. Nonetheless, the breathtaking views from our windows, including the spectacular display of the northern lights, were unforgettable. The included breakfast was satisfactory. The lodge features a theater room, although it lacked a remote control, and a cozy reading nook. The fire pits were a nice amenity, and the staff ensured that the paths were clear for all guests. While some staff members were friendly, others seemed overwhelmed and unpleasant. Additionally, the cleaning staff should attend to the main door in this cabin, which had blood on it. We hope to return in the summer with our entire family. Sucked that they didn’t have a sauna which was why we booked here.

The dog amenities were good

We had a great stay at Aurora villa, the room was modern and clean and we saw the auroras on our first night.
