Much appreciation for the group ahead of us who left a spotless cabin, kitchen and bathroom. Thanks!

Only complaint was lack of coffee cups which are generally overstocked in a USNF cabin. Seemed like there were only three....

As we were there on a weekend, the Bog Springs, Kent Springs Sylvester Springs hike departing from the cabin was perfect. Take advantage of not going out to the road for at least a bit, but you can't miss the Santa Rita Lodge bird watching area mid day!

Snow! It was beautiful. We want to thank previous guests for leaving place so clean. Also, the road had been graded so it was in better shape than last time we were up. If you're going up, bring some drinking glasses; the ones there are mason jars. There were only 3 coffee cups, so bring some of those up too. Feeling generous? Donate some sturdy steak knives. Check the propane tanks; they were empty again. Don't forget drinking water and dish soap. It is truly a lovely place for all of us to share. Also, there is a little mouse, so clorox wipes are also a good call. Thanks to everyone who takes care of this special cabin.

Beautiful location and really neat cabin. Very special place.
Our two day visit was crowded by the time we had to spend cleaning on arrival and before we left. I wish I had three days to relax a little in the middle.

I suspect that the Kent Springs Cabin would be a great rental during spring and fall. Unfortunately, we rented it during winter and our rental period overlapped with a wind/rain/snow storm. The cancellation window is too far out to get a refund when the cabin is all but inaccessible due to bad weather. Rain and snow saturated/softened the gravel road and our small SUV car sunk 10-11" deep into pre-existing ruts, but we somehow managed to slog up the hill. We left the next morning while the road was frozen firm, after spending all night worried that we might get stuck on the drive out. It was not a relaxing stay.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
