Starrigavan Creek Cabin offers a beautiful and serene experience, with a well-functioning wood stove that keeps guests warm during winter. The cabin is clean, new, and provides a sense of isolation despite being in a campground, complemented by a welcoming camp host. Guests appreciate the spacious interior for cooking and games, as well as the inspiring outdoor surroundings filled with birds, though it's advised to bring a tarp for the uncovered fire pit.

This cabin is perfect size and quiet. The wood they have was wet so the fire never warmed up the cabin. You might want to bring in dry wood or a heater The snow was on the ground so the gates were closed and we had to walk in. Plan for this in the winter.. The person helping us was nice and accommodating.

I always enjoy time out at the Starrigavan Cabin. The access to it is so easy and early in the season, it feels like you are far away from civilization. April is usually the month we choose to celebrate our son's birthday @ the cabin, but the weather is erratic, sometimes with snow. However, bears are not usually a concern.
We lucked out for this trip and had minimal rain. In the past we have had to hang a tarp to stay dry if we wanted to be outside. I think bringing your own chairs is more comfortable that the wet benches and cold rock to sit on by the fire but having a picnic table is very handy. If you are inside, a lantern of some sort is very helpful. We also usually park one car on the other side of the boardwalk just to be safe since we are locked in by the gate in the evening.
The host was very accommodating. The cabin was clean & being able to purchase wood on site saves us a lot of effort. It is a bummer that the artesian well is shut down.
You really can't go wrong with this cabin, it is cozy an in a gorgeous, easy setting!

Wonderful and comfortable cabin: Plenty of room inside for cooking in the "counter top" and playing card games on the spacious table.
Outside is awesome, ut note, the fire pit is not covered so bring a tarp if you need.
Having morning coffee while listening to the dozens of different birds is truly inspiring.

Excellent drive-in cabin. Very new and clean and even though it’s in the middle of a campground is situated in such a way that you feel isolated. The camp host was really great and welcoming.
