We rented the cabin for the long, holiday weekend and had a great time hiking and exploring!!! A previous guest had left packets of oatmeal and other foods in the cabinet that were not adequately secured and we were limited on water, so cleaning up the mess left behind by the locals was a little tricky. It was a bit of a hike to get all our gear in (we have a toddler) but otherwise a fantastic, quiet place to stay! Will definitely be back again soon!!

In the summer there is not much water available in the tiny rivulet near the cabin. We caught three rats in the havaheart trap, and took them for a walk. After that, there were only mice. The cabin is very dark inside, even in summer. There was a propane stove available, and had we known that we wouldn't have schlepped our own propane stove all the way out there. There were all sorts of other supplies, like bug dope, canned food, cleaning supplies, water jugs and etc available, and it would have been nice to know, so we wouldn't have to schlepp our own. The cabin seems perfect for a certain type of visitor- perhaps people with young children, hunters or fishers - which was not us. We were there to hike, but its a long way to any trailhead, except for the South Fork of the Sun, which is very heavily traveled by horses and people. We had a good time there (it's The Bob! How can you not?), but would not rent Kenck again.

The cabin itself is great, but you need to plan to minimize the weight of your provisions because the hike in there can be a challenge, especially when it's hot out. So if you pack lightly and try to keep your meals to freeze dried foods everything will be great. The cabin is in a great location on a ridge above the river and there is a small stream running near the cabin that you can use to keep beverages cold and to use for water if you bring a good water filter system (or boil it). The only downside to the cabin is there are a LOT of mice in there, but that's to be expected in a remote cabin. All in all we had a great stay.
