This is a beautiful area that is easy to get to. It was nice for one time but we won't be back. We've stayed in many FS cabins- I'm fine with no bathroom and no electricity but not having running water made things hard. I would recommend to people that if they rent this cabin to rent it during the week. We had visitors to the springs on the weekdays but on Saturday there were hoards of people and the only way they can get to the springs is by walking on the lawn in front of the cabin. It made me feel bad we were there and made the experience uncomfortable.

The cabin was a little dusty and smelled like the smoke from the CA fires. But otherwise, it was great. This is our third year in a row coming to the cabin and we love it. We'll definitely be back.

This is a quaint little cabin at the bottom of a ravine. Its very rustic and you cannot beat the scenery.I live it here! The beds are adequate and the water is cold! Be sure to bring some downloaded music or a stereo to listen to music. Many previous cabin mates have left basics such as napkins, candles, mosquito sprays, and plastic utensils still in their boxes for others to use. I cannot stress enough mosquito spray. They are tolerable but you WILL probably get bit (in the summer). Be sure to bring something to cover the windows if you don’t like being in a fishbowl. Bring sheets for the mattresses and blankets are more than adequate in the summer. Oh and the middle room, if it gets too humid aka leaving wet clothes/towels in there with you, the fire alarm goes off. We learned that the hard way a few times in the middle of the night. Bring your own air freshener for the bathroom! It gets cleaned once a weekish. Bring water shoes if you plan to wade in the water and you will enjoy it to the fullest. I recommend a canopy to go over the picnic table with a privacy wall to shield from all the visitors looking at the falls. Mice have been known to be around, (We had no incidents) so make sure you have place to store your dry food safely and INSIDE. There WILL be visitors asking how to rent and possibly if they could take a look at the cabin. So just be prepared for those that ignore the “Respect cabin renters privacy” signs. Its not frequent but it happens. If you have a good book or game you don’t use or play anymore, feel free to bring one and leave it. Others have kindly left some of these for other cabin people to enjoy as well. And lastly, always leave the place better then when you found it. Enjoy!

Beautiful location. Classic old FS Guard Station. A little musty inside, but the mattresses were surprisingly good. Plenty of firewood blocked up and ready for visitors. Not exactly private with a trailhead there and the only public toilet in miles. Didn't check to see if our cell phones worked.

The cabin was very busy with visitors, don't go expecting any sort of solitude. Also, the cabin was in dire need of a deep clean as previous occupant(s) had done a poor job of upkeep, there was even a dead mouse in one of the kitchen drawers. The mosquitoes were absolutely horrendous and we couldn't keep them out of the cabin, it seems most of the window screens needs repairs. We ended up checking out a day early since it getting miserable, this is coming from 4 mountain men who have spent a week every year for 6 years in a Firetower. The only reason for 3 stars is the location is absolutely stunning.
