Sad that the fireplace was out of order still, and the radio was gone! I had visited with friend in June. There was an awesome radio! Now it’s not there :(

Great place to stay in the heart of Mt Lemmon. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Set in a grove of pines, it was very quiet. Didn’t expect Wifi so that was a bonus! It’s close the the Visitors Center, if you need information about the area.
