Cabin was very well supplied with more than we expected. Good dry wood supply and cleaning supplies. Loved the signage to the cabin since there are not many signs. Beautiful setting and so so quiet. Road in was very rough.

We love this cabin and being able to be "off the grid" but yet close enough to Sedona or Flagstaff should we want to go.
