The Redfish Cabin is always warm and toasty after a cold ski in. The other renters have always left it spotless. The views of Redfish Lake and the Sawtooth Mountains are stunning. I have been in many times as a favorite retreat. Glad the Forest Service keeps renting it.

We just got back from one night, x-country skied in and had a lovely stay. Cabin is warm and comfortable and the view and quiet is amazing!
Notes: Pots and pans are a bit worn, the knives are very dull, there are only 2 bowls and 3 plates (there were 5 or six mugs and glasses, a reasonable amount of silverware, multiple wine openers, and a reasonable assortment of cooking utensils), the larger burner on the stove does not work (the other 3 smaller ones do). There are no "extras" (salt, oil, etc...) that you might find at other spots, but there is a coffee maker, microwave, oven, and teakettle.

Always a great trip. Very relaxing. Cabin is well-furnished, just the right distance to snowshoe into, and you get Redfish Lake to yourself. A must do.

I had a very nice experience this time now that the road and parking lot construction is complete and the propane stove in functioning. I always make a hike to the Alpine Way trail and this time was no different. There was packed snow on the trail past the wilderness boundary but it was very walkable. Great views as always on a sunny day.
