Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Crescent Moon Cabin was the ultimate family paradise. We have stayed at many forest service cabins and this one topped them all. The cabin was clean, kitchen well equipped, bug and mouse dropping free, perfect size for 10 people (6 adults and 4 kids), and the location was supreme. Just a very short walk down to the creek which was essential for kid entertainment. Get to the creek early to snag a shady spot as it gets crowded! The view from the cabin was out of this world. I found myself wanting nothing more and feeling very grateful as I was watching my family have the absolute best time. There’s no doubt we will be back!

This is such an amazing cabin in a fantastic location. The size of the cabin was larger than expected. The house could easily accommodate more than 10 people if it were allowed. Each of the 3 bedrooms is good size and there are even 3 additional roll out beds. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and the A/C worked very well. A modern refridgerator, stove, propane grill, and a well stocked kitchen were all pluses. The architecture of the cabin is really beautiful and the creek being a 2 minute walk from the backyard was wonderful. Lastly, the view of cathedral rock were breathtaking. This place is very hard to reserve and I know why now - we will try and come back if there is ever openings in the calendar.

Just awesome, but bring blackout curtains if you want to sleep in the morning, two rooms get very bright early.

We love this place. Well maintained and improvements have been made. Access to the creek is great. The shuttle is available at the 89 turnoff so getting to trailheads is easy. There is a great slick Rock and a trail ( Templeton) an easy and short walk from ranch. We brought board games and the large table is awesome. We love this place and are so grateful to Forest Service
