Beaver Creek Cabin (ID)

Had a lovely snow storm on the drive to the cabin. Both of our vehicles, (4x4 pickups), made it. Tire chains helped. Arrived after dark. Found the cabin in good shape until we got the stove fire going. The cabin filled with smoke, the alarms went off, and that's when we relived the stove pipe was not fully attached. Now that every part of the stove is hot as heck with the fire roaring, we had to reattach the stove pipe. We did a back woods patch job with some aluminum foil and mechanic wire. It worked!
Outside of the stove pipe incident, the trip was great. Found the cabin very nice and clean. The propane lamps worked great and the cabin is stocked with plenty of fire wood and a splitting maul. The rest of our party came in the following day, (4x4 Jeep). It snowed on and off during our stay. Cleaned everything and emptied the stove of ash before leaving. We had a great time and plan returning in the spring. Thanks!

Great stay. Would like to see a door between the kitchen and the living room to keep the heat in.

Beaver Creek Cabin is a great place to base a winter trip. We love the cozy wood stove and being so close to miles and miles of cross country ski and snowshoe trails. The Smokey Bear curtains are a classic!

Amazing tranquil location to spend a few nights in the winter (with kids)! Only complaint would be the amenities. There was no large stock pot for melting snow and no cooking utensils. We had previously called the Forest Service to inquire about the cooking amenities but they hadn't ever been to the cabin and didn't have any info. The beds in the pictures are also no longer there. There were two twin beds, no queen bed and bunkbeds like the online pictures. The futons in the living room are shot, don't plan on sleeping on those!

we tried to snowshoe in on Friday, march 19, 2021. the trail over Edna creek has melted and there is no safe pass from Whoop Um Up parking Lot. Either the USFS needs to advise users to park north of the cabin and take FS road south, or cancel future reservations. Simply put, it is not safe.
