Cabin in Oskaloosa

Cabin by State Park: Hot-tub, Pool, Trails

SheridanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Place was great even though the lake had been drained. Wasn't able to use the pool due to chilly weather, but the hot tub was fun. Grownup children like the pool table, ping pong table & the toys for the babies. Lots of space for everyone.
