Beautiful view, all the amenities you need. We had forestry workers camping next to us. They were polite and respectful of our solitude.

The cabin was nicer than I expected. I've rented other FS cabins before where the equipment did not always work. The Atlanta Cabin, everything was in working order - fridge, microwave, hot water, indoor toilet, etc. The major drawback was the double bed in the kitchen. The first night I had a few welts in the morning and thought it was from my activities from the day - hot springs and hiking. Maybe I didn't notice being bit. However, the second night and in the morning, my torso was covered in bites/welts. I think the cabin has bed bugs. On closer examination of the bed, there were little dark specks which were likely dead bugs. When I contacted the FS office in Idaho City, because of COVID protocol they were not in the office. I left a message on Tuesday 06/08 and have not heard a peep from them and it's 06/14. Maybe they've acted on my message, but I would at least expect a response back to me on it being mitigated or asking for further information. Bed bugs are a serious matter and if the FS did nothing, it's too bad that the following renters are going to run into the same issue. I left a writtne message on the bed, so maybe this is enough to help. Overall, great cabin, but disappointed by the lack of FS response.

A nice cabin amungst a forest service compound. Close to town but far enough away to drown out the sound of the Razers some. Clean and tidy.

This was the greatest trip to Atlanta. We soaked in Chattanooga and got a tour of the town from local historian, Miles. He was amazing and showed us a great time. The cabin needs a few minor repairs but I suppose that helps make it feel rustic. We enjoyed sitting out on the front porch watching the deer. We will definitely be regular guests of Atlanta.

We had a good time overall.
The maintenance could have been better. Both screen door handles were broken, and it wasn't a recent thing. So I question the frequency of regular maintenance. We almost got locked out because both screen doors were shut tight and with broken handles it was hard to get through the door. But since the front door was also off level, all we had to do was wiggle it and it popped open.

It's also the only cabin we've been to that required our dog to be leashed when outside. We weren't prepared for that. We have a long line for her.

We also had to gather wood. Not a big deal but other ranger districts provide wood. Again, not a big deal.

But we had a good time. It was quiet and peaceful. We explored the town and went swimming in the river.

The location, the view, the area and the town of Atlanta itself were all wonderful. The cabin is cute but rustic. I loved the front porch. The beds are not the best. I'll bring a sleeping bag and a foam pad next time.
