Loved the experience. Nice mattresses, supplies, games, gas stove, running water (not potable), rope swings with the view, milky way at night, and nobody for dozens of miles around. Most comfortable place compared to all other state yurts and cabins we've been to. The fosert still has definitely wounds after the fire. It was 'cozy' for our family of 6, and got surprisingly chilly at night in September, but worth it. The road might be scary if you are not used to gravel, be sure to get the directions and not just follow GPS - it will be wrong. Don't attempt to do Yolla Bolly Lake trail - it was painful: 5+ hours one way, thorns, middle section trail is impossible to follow after the fire.

There is a risk of contracting Hantavirus at this location, a disease for which there is no cure and which kills about 40% of those infected. It is very rare, but when people get it the source is normally from deer mice in mountainous areas and this cabin is in a mountainous area and is OVERRUN BY POTENTIALLY INFECTED DEER MICE. I know they are deer mice because I saw three of them very close up. There's a real chance that I was exposed while I was there. I'm not a hypochondriac, but the best case scenario is that I have to spend the next eight weeks with the worst case scenario in the back of my mind. There is a flyer about Hantavirus buried in a binder that is left on a side table, which I discovered by chance while looking for maps of the surrounding area. I later noticed a one-line reference on the booking page, but there is no explanation of how dangerous the virus is or how it is contracted. Detailed information should be included online and prominently displayed at the site, and there should be permanent solutions offered for protecting food, utensils, and other items from contact with rodents, for example, bear cannisters or other animal-proof storage being left at the site for guests to use. Not making the risks clear and offering a solution is negligent.

Great place. No AT&T service. No fire tower. Limb down past post creek station. Mice in the building. One touched my foot as I slept
