Has anyone stayed in a Copper Creek Cabin with an ECV? I took a tour of one the other day, and although it was beautiful, my ECV could barely maneuver in the front hallway. The front hallway seemed so narrow that I got my foot jammed between the ECV and the wall. But, like I said, the views were beautiful.
 
We stayed in the accessible cabin in November and it was fine. We rented a 3 wheel ECV, not one of the big ones like they rent in the park, but I think either would have worked. We charged it in the front hall each night and my friend used her manual chair to get around the cabin but there would have been room for the ECV. It is possible that the accessible cabin has a wider front hall, I'm not sure.
 
We didn't have an ECV but had a stroller along that we left in the hallway. Funny but I've been in the one we stayed in plus the Cabin they use for tours and don't recall it being especially narrow. Neither were an accessible unit. Looking at photos I'd estimate it to be 36" wide.
 
We stayed in one with my father‘s electric wheelchair. He was staying in the first room so he would just turn right in. I could see one of the higher or wider chairs having Issues in the non-accessible cabins. The bigger Issue for us was using the wheelchair and getting on and off the boats at the dock.
 

We stayed in a cabin with a 30¨ wide double stroller. We didn´t have a problem with it, but I don´t remember turning it around in the hallway. We would move it into the screened area and then it would be facing forward when we headed through the living room out to the door. I was able to walk around it while it was in the hallway, though not easily.

It will be worth it if you can make it work. They are beautiful units. We stayed in 8020 which had a wonderful view of the water.
