Writing this review while freezing in this cabin here at 4 am. Told them yesterday i froze the previous night and told them the heat does not work. Guy says flip the breaker. Except none of them are labeled in the box. Far be it from them to look at it personally. Besides that , it did not help. This is all after being switched from the cabin we reserved the morning before i arrived. Come back from riding first day , give the atv wash $5, and …nothing it does not work either. Literally using the oven for heat at this point, will have to drive 30 miles to walmart and buy space heaters , or sleep in my truck tonight Maybe ill see an atv wash along the way that works. Who knows Edit They came and brought heaters Thank you

We had a great time staying at Devils Backbone. The Cabin was clean, the bed was comfortable, has a full size kitchen, its located close to the trail heads, the restaurant was good. Everyone was friendly. We will definitely be back.

Camped here in 2024 and 2025 Early May,it's perfect for riding then because you get some rain to keep the dust down and it's not extremely hot. The Resort is Awesome.

This place is big! They have great cabins and deluxe tents that the guys in our family loved. Four of us stayed in a two bedroom cabin w/two on-suite bathrooms. The furniture was nice and everything was clean. It was nice to use real dinner plates instead of paper plates . We also appreciated that they had quiet time hours and people really respected them. They must enforce it there. Also, the staff is really nice and friendly. We highly recommend this resort.

This is a great place to stay, we stayed at the camp ground. Monica in the office was professional and super helpful! She was always nice and made our stay perfect. Wifi was a bit hit or miss, but they are working on it. Trail is right on property. Our RV site was huge and had plenty of room to park everything! Can't wait to come back

Great place to stay with onsite access to trails. We stayed in a cabin directly across from Tipple Tavern so the music was loud and multiple loud vehicles starting up evening after closing which was supposed to be 10pm. As well as a security truck that was left running in front of our cabin. Gas and vehicle wash on site which was nice. The cabin was clean but had little storage area in kitchen and bathrooms. Only two small hooks in the bathroom for hanging towels and wash cloths and very little counter space for toiletries. Each bedroom had its own air and heat which was a bonus. There was mold/mildew on the ceilings in both bedrooms and the living area. Our mattress and one pillow were very lumpy and uncomfortable. The other bedroom the mattress was good. Bare minimum for paper products and towels but they made us aware of that from the beginning. Just adding a few towel bars in the bathrooms and kitchen and a little more storage in the kitchen for food would go a long ways!
