What a relaxing place! The cabin is beautifully restored with plenty of room for a large family. There are PLENTY of kitchen utensils, pots, and pans. There is a full utility closet for clean up. The cabin is not completely fenced in, so if you have dogs that wander, you'll want to keep and eye out for them. We heard coyotes at night (pretty close), so you probably don't want to leave your smaller dogs out too long after dark. Our contacts, Laurel and Ken were very helpful when we discovered some of the mantles for the propane lamps were damaged. Ken came right out and fixed them. The cabin is set on the edge of a meadow; therefore, it is a sanctuary for nesting birds, lizards, wasps, field mice, and gophers. We saw some bear scat as well. You'll want to keep your food stored properly.
We had a great time! We strolled through the aspen groves and lava beds around the cabin and basked in the sun in the front yard. Make some time to hike up to Crocker mountain. You can drive most of the way there until the brush gets too thick. The view is breath taking! J&J's Resort Store is only 3 miles away towards Lake Davis on the dirt road in front of the cabin in case you forgot anything. The lake is beautiful, especially when viewing it from the top of Crocker Mtn.
