Nice cabin, very rustic. Pit toilet was clean and smelled better than most; it's well ventilated. Location and drive is awesome, but does get kinda cold that high up in early November. View on the drive in is awesome. Easy to find on well maintained, county dirt roads. Last little bit is a two track but most passenger cars ought to be able to make it.

enjoyed the atv trails around Bonanza and Flagstaff. Do miss the beavers in the ponds but i guess they were killing the trees in the neighborhood.
The remodel of the cabin is great.
Will be using again this summer if we can.
Thanks,
