Beaver Creek Cabin (ID)

We love this cabin! Second time there for my birthday and it's becoming an annual thing. Beautiful hike just out the front door. Rustic, simplistic, and peaceful. Just what we need to escape busy city life and noise.

We have been staying there every winter for seven years. We enjoy the solitude and being off grid. Since there was very little snow this year, we did not see a single person in the five days that we were there. We always bring a project to make the cabin a little better. we are very thankful for the US forest service for making these cabins and yurts available. We do hope that they will do some very necessary repairs and repainting before the cabin deteriorates to an unusable state.

THE LISTING IS INCORRECT. IT ONLY SLEEPS 3 PEOPLE. 2 SINGLE BEDS AND ONE COUCH FUTON. IF YOU WANT MORE TO SLEEP THERE I RECCOMEND BRINGING A BED MAT TO SLEEP ON.

Space was extremely clean and stocked with wood. We were able to get warmed up quick even in December. The stovetop worked perfectly and we were able to cook a solid meal. Plates, pans, pots, utensils, mugs, pans ....the list goes on... was there. Hiking up to the cabin took a lot of work, but if you're backpacking, I recommend not bringing extra plates or pans, it's just unnecessary. The bed was cozy and we got a great night of sleep.

Water wasn’t able to be filled because generator wasn’t working. Lot of people just wander in as we sat outside, sign says it’s a rental but they just come onto the property anyway

The Cabin is very rustic with no running water(in winter) a wood burning stove for heat, gas lighting, a gas stove and fridge and a pit toilet outside during winter months. Firewood is supplied but you have to split it yourself. We snowshoed in on Monday morning(-16°) to find the cabin had mouse droppings everywhere! We cleaned and sanitized every square inch of the place before settling in for a five day stay! The weather was fantastic(ly cold) with stunning starry nights. We built an igloo, sledded and snowshoed, the trail down the creek was 4’ deep unmarked powder that took 2 hours to go 1 mile , so exhilarating! The nightly visit from a Martin trying to break was pretty cool (I suspect he is used to being fed). Our snowshoe out was idyllic with heavy snowfall putting a beautiful cap on a great week!!
This isn’t for everyone but we loved it

Have stayed this cabin many times. Always great.

Lovely cabin.
Good birding.
All the dead trees from whenever that big fire was take a lot from what could be beautiful.
No running water makes it very hard to mop the floors :).

It is a lovely place, the vault toilet was clean. The cabin could use a fresh coat of paint, and it is very warm this time of year. The picture window was stunning! Our only issue is that it is not disability friendly. My husband is in a wheelchair, and a ramp would have been helpful. All in all, a great experience! The night sky was stunning. Thank you!

Was supposed to have running water. No water, no notification and no help/assistance in getting drinking water
