THE AMENITIES

Compact, modern glamping

This studio cabin includes a microwave, dorm-size refrigerator, a queen-size sofa sleeper and a window A/C unit—basic comforts that make a short stay comfortable; guests must bring their own bedding and pillows.

THE RIVER

Steps from tubing, a swim pond and a bar

Sandy Shores’ tubing operation, inflatable swim pond and the on-site bar are all a short walk from the cabin, so adventure and socializing are minutes from your door.

THE PRACTICAL

Simple, budget-minded rates

Rates are tiered by night with a two-night minimum (weekend minimums and holiday minimums apply); additional mandatory cleaning/garbage and pet fees apply—this is a straightforward, economical option for short stays.
