Very pleased with our Experience at Antone Cabin. It is an ideal setup for 2 people. My 14yo son and I stayed for 5 nights while Hunting Elk in Mid-Nov.
Amenities were great. There were several pots/pans and plates and utensils that had been left to stock the cabin. Most necessary cleaning supplies were available. I was worried about the bed as I'm 6'5", so I even packed a cot just in case. The bunk beds WERE AMAZING. Long enough for a big guy like me, and the foam mattress was super comfortable. My 14yo son and I slept awesome. Wood stove allowed us to keep it plenty warm during a week where it never got above 30, got hot enough inside one night we had to crack the windows even though it was 15 degrees outside. Propane lamps and stove worked well (didn't use oven). Plenty of firewood, which we restocked. The cabin felt bigger in person than in the pictures IMO.
Hunting was good. We saw some Elk, nothing we could shoot though. Shocked that we never saw a Mule Deer all week. We had a ton of snow. 6-8" old snow when we got there. 8-12" fresh snow one day followed by a day of 40+mph winds which created tons of drifts and very difficult hiking. Lots of other hunter traffic from the trailhead parking 100 yards away. While there was a ton of hunting pressure nearby....The cabin made the experience worth the drive from Oklahoma.
