We arrived late at night and were able to get in once we realized the combination is on a padlock. We laughed about it later as people have gotten used to the keypads.
It was our second time here and we enjoyed the surroundings and nearby creek. It was warm inside but cooled off quickly one we opened the windows. The heater warmed things up quickly as the temperature dropped later at night.
We recommend that guests bring foam pads or mats for sleeping. We look forward to visiting again in the future.

Be patient with the heater. It takes quite a while for the gas to get from the tank if the previous user left it running when they shut the propane tank valve. It otherwise worked flawlessly.

The cabin was clean and propane was full. Perfect spot for a youth group game night. Very short snow machine ride in the winter.

We've been camping up in Stump Creek for the past 10 years during hunting season. It was nice not having to put up or tear down a tent this time. Cabin was a great option to our hunt this year

Fun cabin. Make sure to bring padding. Some cabins have mattresses but Stump Creek does not. Pilot light on the furnace can be finicky but once you get everything going you have reliable heat.
