Robbs Hut in the snow times is incredible. The three mile hike is clearly marked and it's on the road so it is easy to follow. The small cabin is kept very clean by guests and staff. The propane heater is an absolute delight after a cold hike in the snow. The kitchen makes meal prep and cooking easy. Everything was clean and well stocked. I lucked out getting this reservation and I look forward to coming back many winters. We camp in Crystal Basin every summer and now we can enjoy this area year round.

Robb's hut is magical! the view is spectacular, it's very peaceful and the cabin itself is stocked with helpful items (a flashlight! which we forgot to bring). It's not for everyone--it's a treacherous road to get there and there are creatures living in the walls of the cabin. But we love it and look forward to going back.

I’ve loved this place for years. With access to the locked gate that’s about a half mile from the hut, you get the feeling that you’re renting more than the hut. It feels like you are renting the entire mountain top, including the lookout. Unfortunately the gate is unable to lock right now so you don’t have as much of a sense of security from visitors at night. Robbs Hut is has amazing panoramic views and lots of solitude.
