Arrived as scheduled and caught 10 mice in traps that we provided. Suggest you add mouse traps that facility users should bring along.
The heating stove leaks smoke into the room. It should be replaced or repaired. The smoke comes from cracks in the body of the stove.
A mop would be handy to deal with the mud.
The wood supply was ample although it appears casual hunters are borrowing some of the wood.
There were a couple hundred dead flies on the floor. Much less that last years hunting trip.
In all we enjoyed the use of the cabin and plan to use it again next hunting season.

Clear Creek Cabin far exceeded our expectations. We just used the main cabin but it was nice and clean. The area was beautiful and provided much need chill and relaxation. The only suggestion I had was people must steal the axes to cut wood so take your own ax. I highly recommend it unless you want a Marriott.

Great cabin, as described. It takes a fairly long drive over a gravel road to get to the cabin, but you get plenty of space and privacy once you arrive.
