About
Four Mini Cabins in the Catoctin Mountains at Gambrill State Park just west of Frederick, each sleeping up to four people. Cabin 018 is the only one of the four that allows pets (up to two); the other three (004, 005, 006) don't. No alcohol is allowed at any of the four. None currently show as ADA-accessible. Maryland's live booking system confirms 110-volt electric service at each cabin but doesn't confirm an in-cabin kitchen, bathroom, or heat/AC, so treat those as unconfirmed rather than assumed.
Fees
$50.50-$51.50 per night. Taxes and a per-booking reservation fee apply at checkout; Maryland Park Service's own cancellation policy confirms fees apply but doesn't publish one flat figure for a new booking, so no specific fee amount is stated here.
Open roughly April 10 through October 24 each year; closed for winter outside that window.
