The mattresses were very dirty and bare, not even a mattress protector on them. The bathrooms windows were exposed, no curtains and you couldn’t lock the doors.
Lots of room but very bare.
I thought it was a lot of money per night for a place that was almost abandoned. There was no place to put the garbage, we had to take it with us and they ask you to mop and sweep and do everything that wasn’t done!
There is no Wi-Fi so better have a good service carrier

We always feel like we won the lottery when we are able to secure a reservation at Crescent Moon. We just completed our third visit and we are very grateful to the USFS for making this place available.

We've been here a couple times before and it has definitely been spruced up since our last visit (over a decade ago) so that made it much nicer. It's a truly beautiful quiet spot with stunning views. However we happened to be there when it was very cold (including a cold wind) so couldn't really sit outside to enjoy the patio. The main room of the house was also on the cool side for sitting relaxing; we had brought extra blankets and heat packs thank goodness but not sure I'd visit in winter again. Some good hiking close by but as we were with my nearly 90-year old dad that wasn't feasible for us on this visit; next time!

The location is incredible but the booking process and the cabin could use some updating. Having an address on the automated booking emails, adding window coverings, and giving guests the ability to control heat within a predesignated range would take this cabin from fair to excellent.
