The East Creek Cabin is a beautifully renovated space set in a fantastic location with easy access to the river, making it a great spot for outdoor activities. Guests appreciated the availability of firewood, enhancing their experience even in inclement weather. However, it's advised to keep the occupancy to a maximum of four for comfort, and to prepare for mosquitoes due to the cabin's ventilation.

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
