Welcome to Hells Branch Hideaway—a secluded cabin nestled hilltop among the trees at Apple Canyon Lake.

TVs with Roku are available and Wi-Fi is provided.
The game room is packed with fun: ping pong, air hockey, foosball, darts, puzzles, cards, and board games. Outside, gather around the firepit for s’mores under the stars, play yard games, or explore the trail to the creek and lake.
