Wonderful stay! We loved many things about Dakota Trail! Location could not be beat! We did about 7-8 different hikes and all were within about a 20ish min drive. We stayed in August and we had beautiful weather so we actually didn’t use the hot tub, however it was very clean and would have had it been cooler. Our Goldendoodle loved it too! She’s the best, and enjoyed just being there in general. She moseyed around outside, went on every hike with us, and felt very comfortable at the cabin. My husband (37 years old) is recovering from leukemia/ a bone marrow transplant so we were a little reluctant on the water. He’s still pretty immunocompromised. With that said, although the water is quite smelly, he still felt comfortable showering. We used bottle water for consumption for our own peace of mind. We both are familiar with well water, if he wasn’t in that position, we wouldn’t have been so cautious. The only improvement could be the cleanliness in general on the overall cabin as others have mentioned too. Regardless, great stay and we will be back!
