A unique and picturesque location, far away from civilization and many amenities. Be prepared for a long, rugged, narrow and winding gravel forest road to get in and out. Expect a small, rustic cabin without electricity or running water. A basic gas top range in kitchen, a small table and chairs, and lots of board games and books. The serenity and privacy on this small mountain top make it all worthwhile, and the 360 degree views of the surrounding forest are spectacular.

I've been to Robbs Hut many times and it's been awesome. Unfortunately, our last stay included rodents scurrying around in the attice space (very noisy), and infestation of flies and some wasps in the vault toilet. If this gets remedied, I recommend Robbs Hut. Until then, I wouldn't stay.

It was amazing and clean. The gate was bent before we got there and it seemed like someone else was up there before us. Toilet paper was ripped to pieces like an animal did it and there was a cute little mouse inside the cabin. The views were excellent and the little time we did spend inside the cabin was cozy. We left the place cleaner than we left it and even left cleaning supplies behind for the next person. One thing I will say there is that there will be hikers coming up on your space. We have several people visit us and they had no idea we were up there. There would be a sign to warn people that there’s people up there but that was okay. We offered them food and water but they were just passing through. Great place, this was my second time up there.

We snowshoed to the hut. It was a fabulous trail, and easy to follow. The hut had all of the amenities and so much space. Spent the daytime exploring the area, and the nights enjoying the amazing sunsets. Will be back.
