I was happy with staying at these cabins! It was our first time here and we liked it. The owner was nice and easy to deal with. Your own little shower and kitchen was great and the AC was the best especially after riding in the heat all day. GREAT price. The cabin we stayed in was outdated but it doesn’t effect anything. We left our SXS and quads right outside i didn’t feel worried about them at all. A good spot to lay your head at night. We will be staying here from now on when we come to ride. - Haley.

Stayed in cabin 4, 1 night to go ORV riding last October. The cabin is great, had big refrigerator, microwave, full size coffee maker, hot plate, pots pans, bowls and dishes, lots of towels. Plenty of trailer parking, rode out of cabin down the dirt road less than a mile to the ORV trail. St Helen’s is very ORV friendly, rode into town to gas station, breakfast, Powersports dealer, and two Taverns. Overall good experience, would recommend.

My husband and I have been coming here for a couple of years. The cabins are perfect for riding on the trails with access right behind it. My husbands brother and his grown boys and family also come here. We have always had a great time. Two cabins have full kichens which has come handy for us. The owner Randy is very kind. The cabins are clean. There is a nice fire pit. The owner goes out of his way to make sure your visit is a nice visit. These cabins are close to gas stations, restaurant's and bars. Hardware right across the street. Its in a good location for evertything. We always have a wonderful time when we are there. Thank you Randy for being so caring and kind to us. Thank you for making our visits so nice!!! We have already been there a few times this year and we are coming back in October. Can't wait!!!

Best place to stay in st helen or anywhere around for hunting or trail riding. Owners are the absolute best. Accomidating to a fault. On main street with everything right there if needed. Bon fire, pavilion with games, basketball court, chickens to feed, and always decorated nicely for most special occasions/ holidays. Only place i like to stay while up riding.

We came to ride with the dirt dudes in January. We stayed in cabin 5 which is the biggest its a 2 bedroom with full beds in them. The cabin also had a futon in the living room. Full kitchen with essentials. Definitely will stay again.

I give 5 for the fact for a place to sleep to sleep night or two is great . Beds were absolutely clean! If your looking for updated amenities go eles where . But super friendy service!! and definitely will be using outside RV campimg . If you are riding trails definitely bring your own towels cause as we all know the mud stains. and they sure have some nice white clean towels in the room and the kitchen does have dishware, microwave, coffee pot, toaster . That will get anyone through a night or Tim & Anita

I really enjoyed my stay in one of their cabins! Randy is really nice and the cabins are super cozy. Nothing fancy but it's a perfect place to sleep at night and/or relax after a long day of fun! I highly recommend staying here.
