No, there are no washers and dryers in the cabins. At least not in any of the cabins I have stayed in (5 or 6). Though there maybe some available elsewhere; we always travel pack in - pack out style, so never wash clothes. The cabins are waterfront and very nice. You could probably do light washing by hand - plenty of room to hang dry stuff. Huge screen porches on the lake side of the cabins, so you could hang clothes even if it rains... I hope this helps.
