Mather Lodge

"Petit Jean Mountain area is a beautiful destination, and I will be back, just not to the cabins. The cabins are duplexes, which gave me pause before I made the reservation. A duplex cabin would be great for family and friends reserving both sides. It's just not the same when you bring your spouse to try to have a peaceful weekend getaway, but no peace can be found. I had to turn up the little TV just to drown out the neighbors, and yes, even after the magical 10pm quiet time. 1 star for the accommodations. The people that we've met that work at Mather Lodge and at the park have been nothing but friendly and cordial, and our dinner at the restaurant in the lodge was absolutely spot on. 5 stars for these folks. The duplex cabins are set up with 2 full-size beds, a dormitory refrigerator, a microwave, and coffee pot. Next to the refrigerator, you'll find an iron and ironing board. Similar to many motel rooms, the sink and vanity is in the room area, and the toilet and tub/shower combination is separate. The beds are separated by a night stand with a phone, clock/power station on too and a wall lamp for each bed. There is a TV on the fireplace mantle that has your basic cable stations. Beware the door stop in the floor 2 feet in front of the refrigerator. Take off your shoes and you will find it. The beds are comfortable, and the cabins are clean. Plan to reserve both sides, or make other arrangements if you are loud or you don't want to chance having noisy neighbors."
