My husband and I went to Kent Spring Cabin on our 3 year anniversary and it was perfect. Madera Canyon is such a special place and the cabin just had the feel of it all. It was much bigger than we expected and it was interesting to understand the story of the building. The people before us left it clean and organized. We had everything we needed and more to cook and be comfortable. We kept thinking that this is the perfect place to have a gathering with friends or family. Tucked on the slope of the mountain, right on the trail and we woke up to a beautiful snow storm.

Beautiful scenery, and a great cabin. The driveway to the cabin was barely passable with my Camry on the way in. After 2 days of snow fall it was a much scarier drive out. Wouldn't recommend trying it in a car during the winter.

I've rented many cabins, guard stations, etc. in multiple states for the last 15 years
Road to cabin is deeply rutted and is questionable for passenger cars; we accessed with Ford F150 with high clearance
Plan to "share" your experience with mice, multiple access points
Long time accumulation of grease and grime in the kitchen (yes, we did our part and cleaned in every room)
There is no evidence of once a month "professional" cleaning (heat vents were black with accumulated grime, oven is unusable due to grease)
Cleaning supplies minimal, plan to bring your own, mask and glove up
Suggestion to Coronado National Forest, Nogales Ranger District: offer a program similar to 10th Mountain Hut system in Colorado to
have interested guests deep clean the cabin in exchange for "free" nights
The location by the stream, great hiking trails and being a world class area for birding, up my review to 3 stars
Please pay it forward and clean for the next guests

- 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.
