I had a similar experience this last hike.  I prepaid a cabin at NOC, had to 
bail out of that on the concept redesign and was unable to get a refund as

BTW - The State parks here in Delaware have installed yurts at several 
campgrounds and rent them for campers.  Pretty neat shelters as long as you 
don't have to lug them around.
