Kent Springs Cabin

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.

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.

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.

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!

We had a wonderful time at the cabin, hiking, playing and exploring the stream. We brought up quite a few mugs to help replenish the supply.
