Gut: Sauberkeit, Personal & Service, Zustand der Unterkunft und Komfort des Zimmers
Look out for ol’ Chief Wood’nhead.
While the decor of our particular cabin—an Indigenous-themed two bedroom complete with a wooden Indian out front —was offensive, it didn’t trigger us personally.
The cabin was clean, cute, well-finished and affordable. We ended up in this specific themed cabin due to a free upgrade. The beds were comfortable full-size beds. It was good that we only needed one of the bedrooms, because while the heat pumped mightily into that room, the other bedroom was chilly on this snowy night.
We enjoyed the fireplace after purchasing a $10 wood & firestarter bundle. The location is just off the main road, but it is quiet. The staff was beyond friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed a scary movie on the TV. (We were not able to screencast our scary movie using our Apple device, but this is kind of the norm).
It’s my personal belief that fetishized indigenous bodies are a part of settler-colonial Western history, and as such a decor like this cabin’s can be a weird trip into a former time. I enjoyed looking at the mix of advertising images, fine arts, and crafts and thinking about their place in a wider mythology of the west. However, I want to warn anyone who might not have the luxury of an academic level of remove—this particular cabin is a straight-faced throwback to a piece of the past that is very problematic. For all I know, it was decorated by a registered tribal member or with great care by an ally, but I want to hold space for people who might experience it as a scary othering.
