About Beaver Creek Cabin (ID)

The Beaver Creek Cabin site was established for administrative use in 1912. The current dwelling was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps using standard blueprints for that time. Beaver Creek Cabin is open year-round. It's accessible by car in the summer months and by snowshoes or cross-country skis in winter. Guests arriving in winter should park at the Whoop-Um-Up Park N' Ski Area (permit required) and access the 1.5 mi Pilgrim Trail to reach the cabin. The trail is moderately difficult in normal conditions, and guests are responsible for their own safety. The cabin offers many creature comforts for an enjoyable stay. However, several of the amenities are only available seasonally. Guests should be prepared to bring certain supplies or gear according to the season.

Cabin is in a beautiful location,the inside of the place is not clean. We cleaned for the 2 days we were there and it's still not clean. Other than that,it's a great spot!

Overall a very peaceful, quiet, pleasant experience.
The only improvement that could be made would be that the 2 sofas were worn.
The interior cabin bathroom was locked: not sure why but perhaps it was early in the season? However the exterior toilet outbuilding was open.

Bed/Mattress was disgusting, furniture was also in rough shape. Wood stove was not in the best working order as it was difficult to retain any heat for the cabin. (instructions for that particular woodstove would have been nice to have). The trail from Whoop-Em Up parking area to Beaver Creek cabin was challenging to find and stay on. Poorly marked to say the least. Don't know if I would recommend as is but would recommend that others bring good bedding/sleeping bags, porta-cot, air mattress, etc. On the positive-inexpensive night out in the woods, decent snowshoe hike into the cabin, and plenty of snow to have fun.
