Easy to find and load-in. Clean and neat and everything worked.

Overall, we had a good stay. Excellent location, comfortable beds, adequately-equipped kitchen (BYO knife, like most rentals). Camping wasn't an option due to physical needs and the cabin worked well for us. Some notes for those who prefer a less rustic experience: The cabin currently has 2 beds (double or queen) - no bunk, no futon, no easy-chair. The only seating is the dining room table/chairs. All the bulbs were out in the front bedroom (which is also the main entrance to the cabin), so we used camping lights. Pay attention to the note about cleaning: guests are not just expected to sweep and take garbage out - they ask that we scrub the bathroom, mop, etc. Instructions in the cabin say they "try" to have a professional cleaner once per month. That said, the cabin was clean when we arrived and we did our best to leave it in the same condition. I can imagine not being so lucky if you stayed after the wrong group. The folks who staff the adjacent visitor center are fantastic, but they are not responsible for the cabin, so there isn't anyone onsite to assist.

This cabin was perfect for 2 of us. The beds are new. The cabin was clean and there were no mice. Ample cleaning supplies are provided, as well. The view from the back porch facing the mountains is just fantastic. We enjoyed breakfast and happy hour on the back porch, The trailers you can see from the front porch, as you drive in, are where people who actually work in the Visitor's Center and in the park are staying. We met them at the Visitor's Center, and they were very lovely people. We were comfortable with the windows open.

My recommendation would be to add screen doors on both the front and back door so that the air would circulate better and would keep critters out. It would also have been nice to have a portable fan, in addition to the ceiling fans, and to be able to open the window in the first bedroom. For some reason, that window was nailed shut. Overall, this place is a quaint little house and was perfect for exploring the Chiricahua mountains.
