What to do around Arabian Nights Cabin? The cozy honeymoon cabin with hot tub is a destination itself, overlooking the pond full of bullfrogs. Sunsets paint the sky from the dining booth or screened porch. You'll hear the frogs and the clip clop of horses as they pass by on the trail. (One horse trailhead is on the corner of the property, while the Yellowcliff Trailhead is a quarter mile away.) You won't hear much else - certainly no city noises! Many people will bring their groceries and never leave the cabin, just as they do at Hot Springs Log Cabins.
Hiking is a favorite activity and dogs are welcome of course although you will want to supervise them very closely if you encounter horses on the trail. There is also a winery and a fascinating train ride, and of course rafting, canoeing, and kayaking.
Have your own horses? We have a two stall barn, tack room, and a half acre fenced paddock for them!
