Portal Ccc House

Clean and comfy place on the edge of the national forest and Chiricahua Sky Islands. Stayed over Christmas '21. Somewhat drafty. The flat futon-bed in the backroom is more springs than padding, some of the dishes and coffee cups need to be replaced due to chips, and the bathroom sink faucet has a constant leak. No bottle opener and not enough glassware. Otherwise, plenty of wood available for the fireplace, appliances and gas grill worked like a charm for our Christmas Ribeyes and baked potatos. Found some nice board games in the bunkroom. Wall heaters had a learning curve, but worked well enough. Did not have the secluded feel due to camper trailers parked particularly close by. For four people, we were not crowded and enjoyed our stay.

Cave Creek Canyon is always awesome, so our stay was excellent. The cabin itself was comfortable and warm.
Our only complaint and why I didn’t give 5 stars is that the cabin smelled of cigarette smoke when we arrived and the place was in need of a good cleaning.

This cabin is awesome, very modernized inside. The heater in the living room makes noise and needs repair and as usual with all these gov cabins the curtins are too thin, add some insulated black out curtins or bring some with ya, also bring an extra electric heater. Wood stove works good but takes some work. Area is amazing, check it out. Oh and the lighting is very very dim for some reason, just bring a camp lantern or something if that bother you.

Loved the location. Suberb view from back patio. Great hot shower. Well equipped kitchen. Wood burning stove was nice touch. The cabin was comfortably rustic and peaceful.

Great experience, the grill was out of propane after about 5 mins running so could not use, but other than that fantastic. thank you!

It was much cuter than the photos. The porch in back was a piece of heaven at night we watched the stars at night and the Mountain Views were stunning. It made us feel cozy snuggled close to the Mountains. I am glad there is a fence we had Javalina come visit in the late afternoon. Bring your own bed sheets. The grill worked and toilets worked it wasnt super clean but we expect that. We cleaned before we left. Its right off the road and so you can walk across the road and take a stroll. We did some hiking near by. Lots of Birds and a quail lives near by in a bush. It was perfect for two of us. Shower felt great. It was windy one day so we stayed inside. Very Sunny. We will return. We saw and heard mice too.
