We stayed at Captain Bill’s for a family babymoon weekend - it was absolutely lovely! The pool area feels like you’re at a resort. We really enjoyed our weekend and will definitely be back, hopefully for an adult friends trip

Beautiful cabin

My wife and I had a very nice, quick stay. We didn't have the weather or time to enjoy the deck, but the cabin is beautiful inside. Definitely take time to visit Cataract Falls -- it is worth it.
