Did not have the best experience this time around. The directions say that the woodshed should be unlocked after Dec 15th and it was not so we could not cut any kindling. Fortunately there was a bag of charcoal that we could use to start the wood stove. NO DISHWASHING LIQUID!!!! So it was uncomfortable to think of what conditions the dishes that we ate out of were in. We used lysol spray to wash them and rinsed with boiled snow water. They want you to pick up dog waste but nothing to pick it up with. It is impossible to pick up dog poop that has frozen into the ice with a bag or anything else but some kind of shovel. Some HUGE critter living in the walls and ceiling... which is to be expected, but this was not mice. A little more often upkeep would make this an amazing experience every time.

Very lovely place, wish the water was on so we didnt have to fish it out of the river for cleaning. Otherwise its beautiful area, the fireplace kept the whole house toasty, and the firepit was used every night and morning.

This was our 10th year of visiting the WSGS. We absolutely love this piece of heaven on earth.
I call this my break from life's chaos. We have one more trip already booked for October. We are obsessed with how amazing this little cabin is.. Don't walk, run to get your reservation now! You won't be sorry!

The screens on the doors and windows need replacing, and the small bedroom window needs to be fixed. Mattress covers on the beds would be greatly appreciated because the beds are full of bugs and mice droppings.
This is a beautiful place but needs some work and would help if others left it cleaner than the way they found it!

Also, the lock for the gate was missing.

Would be nice also if they could get all the sleeping bags, and all the other junk out of the closets and dressers so a person could use them and maybe stop the mice from using it as bedding materials.

The bathroom located behind the house was very clean and had no unpleasant odors.

Bonniville hot springs is a wonderful place to spend the day relaxing. Enjoy your stay at this beautiful location.
