Fees
$120.00 per night (weeknights), $145.00 per night (weekends and holidays), including 1 vehicle - additional vehicles are $15.00 per day. Reservations on reservenevada.com carry a non-refundable $5.00 transaction fee per booking. You can book up to 11 months ahead, but must reserve at least 3 days before arrival. Cancelling more than a month before arrival forfeits only that $5 fee; less than a month but more than 3 days out adds a $10 fee; inside 3 days of arrival (or a no-show) forfeits $10 plus one night's cost. No refunds are given for weather, smoke, or other conditions outside the park's control.
No season or winter-closure date is published for these cabins specifically - the park's own page doesn't say whether they're available year-round or only part of the year. Call 775-463-1609 or email [email protected] to confirm before planning a winter trip.
