We love staying at Egan Basin Cabin! I recommend 4 wheel drive to get up there because the roads are pretty bumpy. The cabin is set far away from everything and everyone, which is awesome! The cabin is cozy and well maintained. It got really cold at night and we had to get out of bed several times to add more wood to the fire. There’s plenty of area around the cabin to go out and explore. It’s a beautiful place!

Lovely little cabin in a great location for hiking or skiing. Only worry is the road driving in if it's super muddy. Will definitely stay again.
