The Antone Cabin, constructed in 1929, sits in a beautiful open meadow, at the edge of a thick forest, providing visitors with a unique camping experience on the southwestern end of the Snowcrest Mountain range. With it's end of the road location, it's usually pretty quiet in the summer. The cabin opens for use on July 1and stays open until December, and it is popular throughout the rental season. The cabin is small and intended for 2 people.
In addition to hunting access, the facility provides ample opportunities for hiking, backpacking and horseback riding. The cabin lies within proposed wilderness so snowmobiling and bicycling are not permitted off the main access road, FS325. Snowmobile use, on the road, is only permitted after December 1.
Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities to really enjoy their stay at Antone Cabin.
Antone Cabin is closed on Tuesdays for administrative purposes.

Antone Cabin offers an amazing location with plenty of nearby trails and is consistently praised for its cleanliness. Guests appreciate the comfortable bunk beds and effective heating, making for a cozy stay. However, there have been some concerns regarding the condition of sleeping pads and the lack of toilet paper, which could be improved for future visitors.
Nice rugged, secluded cabin. Beautiful area with picturesque hiking trails. Only thing is I wish the bunks were a bit longer for freakishly tall people such as myself.

Antone cabin is located in a very scenic pass and is a precious asset in the Forest Service rental program. I regret that the horse flies won the conflict one day into a scheduled four night reservation. I stayed through the second night but withdrew to the interior of the cabin for day two reading and not enjoying the picturesque setting as planned. I abandoned the cabin two days earlier than my reserved out-date. I fully agree with the visitor log entry identifying the horse fly population as epic through the majority of the day excluding a respite for the early morning opportunity to enjoy the front porch and perhaps an hour before and after sunset.

The cabin was very clean and the area around the yard was mowed and clean. The spring was improved and it was easy to get water. The Pit Toilet was also clean. The new gate into the cabin yard was a big improvement. Thanks to all the crew that work on keeping this Cabin site one of our favorites.

Always a nice cabin cleaned up well and had the items we needed outside of a total absence of toilet paper. Surprised to see that there are now only two bunks instead of four, don't know the reason for that. No trouble with mice or other critters.
For the nightly rate they're really should be toilet paper such that it never runs out 🙁. Of course we brought our owners back up but should not have had to use it.
