I went to Kent Springs cabin with my son and his daughter, also with 2 teen grandchildren. We were in shock and amazed about the stream behind the cabin! It was so beautiful! You could hear a water fall sound even in the cabin. My grandchildren and son was out exploring and we followed the rock path behind the cabin. There was so many things that made us curious about the history of this cabin. Which was big and amazing. I loved the family picnic style dinning table. We loved everything about the place. Grandchildren found games to play. I found some history write up about the families that lived there and the chimney stack we found. So much history!! Great place for the kids. We are coming back in a few weeks. Now our favorite spot. Very fun interesting cabin! Thank you!

A beautiful cabin in a spectacular desert oasis setting. The hikes out from the cabin were a beautiful as any others in the canyon. The hummingbirds were at the feeder constantly. It was amazing to watch them. The cabin and surroundings are a great place to relax and unwind. It is set far enough off the beaten path to be very quiet and serene. Enjoy your time there

We absolutely loved this cabin. It's spacious, private, and in the most beautiful area. There are some critters in the cabin (spiders, mice, etc) but I think that's just part of being out closer to nature.

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.

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!
