We had a great time at the cabin. It was nice to be able to find a cabin to sleep 6. The only thing that was a bummer was that the water wasn't turned on.

This is a very well-appointed FS Cabin in a remote area of the Beaverheads. You will need alternate modes of transportation the reach the cabin in winter/spring. It is a mile+ uphill road to the cabin from the nearest plowed road.

This a great cabin. No electricity but a great gas stove and gas lights. The wood stove is excellent and the views unbeatable. Didn't see any but Im guessing there are mice. They need a warm place in the winter too. Bring newspaper for the stove and you might also throw in a couple extra mantles for the lights.

Way off the beaten path! A special place along the Lewis and Clark Trail near Lemhi Pass, where the Corps of Discovery crossed into Idaho on their way to the Pacific.

The cabin was clean and very comfortable. We stayed for a week in July. Great spot for a home base for exploring the mountains, Clark Canyon reservoir, Lemhi pass. We loved it here and will stay again.
