Set just outside Cascade, The Lion Shack Cabin Rentals offer deliberately rustic lodging where simplicity is part of the draw. Cabins do not include running water; instead guests use lodge facilities a short walk away. The lodge provides a surprising range of comforts — WiFi, shower and laundry rooms, lounge areas with wood stoves, a kitchen/dining room, a gift shop and a wood‑fired hot tub — creating a blend of backcountry quiet and communal amenities.
