Kent Springs Cabin

This is a lovely place to spend a few days! The area is very quiet and there were a few hiking trails just a short distance away. The cabin itself is beautiful and very spacious. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, silverware, etc. and we had no problem finding everything we needed to cook meals. There is a fire ring and propane BBQ with some outdoor furniture and a few benches for seating. We brought some board games, but it wasn't really necessary as there is a large shelf in the living room with tons of puzzles, board games, pens and pencils, and a few books. A few games were missing some pieces, but it was still plenty to entertain the group for a couple of days. The main bedroom has a queen, the second bedroom had 2 sets of bunk beds (1 was a twin over double) and there were two futons also available.

My only complaint is that not all the windows had screens so we were unable to open as many windows as I would have liked which made it hot and muggy at night. Plus some of the widows that did have screens were ill-fitting so the bugs were terrible and we got really bit up while there. There were 3 working portable fans, but I'd bring one or two fans if you are planning on staying during the summer.

Overall the location and ambiance are superb, but the USFS needs to call a timeout and do some serious work on the cabin.

1. Health and safety. The cabin has an infestation of fleas or bedbugs (or both) and needs to be fumigated. All three members of our party were bitten, with up to a dozen bites or more. Particularly, all the living room seating/couches, the futons, and the back bunk room are infested. This is a recurring issue, as we encountered the same same thing during our last stay. As long as guests continue to occupy without a two-week plus break to fumigate and break the reproductive cycle, guests are at risk of vector-borne disease or allergic reactions.

2. Facilities. The stove top works but the oven does not. All the couches are broken down and need to be replaced (e.g. their is no support in the mid-sections and you simply sink nearly to the floor. The screen doors and windows need attention to remove gaps in their frames.
