What Guests Are Saying
East Creek Cabin is a fantastic, recently renovated space set in a beautiful location, ideal for enjoying the outdoors. Reviewers appreciated the provided firewood and the charming front yard with river access. However, the cabin may feel a bit cramped for larger groups, with a recommendation to limit occupancy to four for comfort.

All was good. It would be helpful if Forest Services could prioritize cutting some firewood. If we are going to promote recreaTION AND WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BE OUTDOORS, ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE AND FAMILIES, LET'S MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER.

Fantastic cabin in a beautiful setting. It was drizzling and sleety the whole visit BUT the USFS had provided plenty of dried wood chunks in the shed AND the previous cabin people had split wood and left kindling. Yay humans!

Beautiful space with a nice front yard and easy access to the river. The cabin was a little tight for five people. For comfort, I recommend a maximum of 4 people in the smaller cabins.
