Overall, good stay.
Would ask FS to update the web descriptions to be more accurate on what is provided at cabin (6 bunks, not 4; Propane provided so don't bring as indicated, and any other differences).
Cabin plenty warm for late October, wood adequate but some pretty gnarly. Trapped 4 deer mice while there so be Hanta aware-
BTW, phone service was excellent on Verizon and even my AT&T prepaid.

Road going up was very rough. Place is beautiful and running water in the sink is very nice. Antelope in the yard and gophers all over. Also, thank you to whoever left the bottle of Pendleton. It was much appreciated. 😉

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.
