Remote cabin. Moose scat scattered around, but no sighting. Creeks nearby. There was some people/dog food left in the cabin which can encourage mice which carry hantavirus. Lots of firewood and downed trees nearby - no need for a fire in late May. An outhouse is nearby. The bunks aren't the most comfortable, but satisfactory.

Cabin has covered mattress pads - bigger/thicker than a camping pad - so no need to pack those in. Also has a good saw. Bring something essential to leave! TP, new journal for the cabin is needed, new kettle would be good. Thanks to whomever left us plenty of wood for when we first arrived! We of course replenished. We're lucky the United States Forest Service provides places for those of us who like to go further into the wild.

The cabin is SMALL, but great!
The stove is certainly big enough to heat the place, but dry wood is a must. The wood collecting is the responsibility of the renters. Dead and down is what can be used. With at least 3 ft of snow around the cabin, that’s a bit tough! We were fortunate that the previous renters left split wood inside the cabin, but still it was hard to get a fire going. We ended up putting some of the wood on the stove to warm it up. We found that looking around in the trees for any branches with dead needles and small dead limbs worked quite well as kindling. The mattresses on the bunk bed were comfortable and of good size for a bunk bed. The little table is quite functional, but solid wood or thick metal would be easier to clean. A bit of repair to fill the cracks in the walls could improve the temperature in winter.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We hope to go again.

Cute little (tiny) cabin in a quiet spot. There was no propane cook stove but a new propane lantern. Plenty of pots and pans but no plates, cups, or bowls. A few old forks. Take your own kitchen stuff. Flies are bad but easily cleared out and once the windows get opened the live ones clear out. If you hike in or out via Cottonwood Creek plan for lots of foot/bike traffic and dogs. Cottonwood Creek trail past the cabin to the basin is worth hiking.
