What Guests Are Saying
East Creek Cabin is a beautifully renovated space in a picturesque setting, offering easy access to the river and ample firewood provided by previous guests. While the cabin can feel a bit cramped for five, it is still a great choice for smaller groups. Some improvements could be made regarding firewood availability and trail conditions for better accessibility.

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.

Great cabin. It has recently been renovated and obviously TLC went into the renovation.

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.

Was unable to make it to East Creek cabin due to unknown trail conditions, potential avalanche danger, and unavailable personal equipment. Poor planning and poor timing were major factors.

Nice cabin even though it's dark, need bigger windows. Lots of "dirty snow" from people urinating and dogs. Nice wood supply

After a long day of hiking the cabin was really nice and clean. Located near a stream a bathroom it allowed us to rest before our next outing to Devils Pass Cabin. Creek allowed for bathing pools to soak in.

East Creek Cabin was a lovely haven to dry off during our fall bike ride. The wood stove kept everything toasty warm and there were hooks and clothes lines to hang our soggy clothes. A short trail from the front door is the confluence of East Creek and Resurrection Creek. The beauty of the fall colors was breathtaking. We would definitely book this cabin again but months early, because it is in high demand.
