Cabin was very nice. Clean and in order. We did shorten our stay due to the weather. But look forward to coming back again.

The cabin has improved a lot since I last stayed in it the first time, 8 years ago. The range is much better and it seems little touches here and there have been made as well. The cabin is in a pristine area. Truly a beautiful part of Az with lots of outdoor recreation nearby. It seems the deer mouse population in the cabin is improving, although we did see one fat mouse on the wall outside the cabin. If we can get that under control, this place would be amazing to visit.

Absolutely in love with this cabin overlooking a beautiful meadow! So nice to get away from everything. Enough room to sleep a small army (8-9 by my count) but cozy enough for one! Very clean, simple but stocked with everything you need. Power and water worked great! Kitchen was stocked with the basics and hardest part was breaking up my nearly finished puzzle to leave! Sit back on the porch and RELAX and enjoy true solitude.

Comfy, cute cabin stocked with anything you could need. Beautiful setting. We were sad to not see any wildlife near the cabin but saw elk and antelope on the way in. We will be back!!

Incredibly peaceful. Deer, bighorn sheep and the osprey nest along a couple dozen birds around the cabin made for a quiet, restful week. Great cabin.

Been to the Caldwell Cabin many times before & this time it went fine. I recommend driving the 25 minutes to Big Lake if you're interested in renting a boat or kayak. Also, be sure to stock up on everything you need in food & supplies as it's at least a 45 minute drive to Alpine or Eager.

In the middle of the white mountains miles from the closest town is this sweet cabin. Perfect to escape the rain and enjoy the monsoons roll in.

9/21 TO 9/23 The cabin was great; we saw elk every morning antelope and deer had had turkeys talking by the cabin one morning.
We appreciate the chance to stay here and would love to come back in the fall to see the colors in the trees.
Our favorite place is Centerfire Creek, we go there every year and enjoy the water and beauty of the forest.
Thanks to the NFS for making such a wonderful place available to the public.
