What Guests Are Saying
The cabin was ideal for muzzleloader season, and many appreciated the functioning propane oven and solar-powered lighting. However, challenges included the lack of potable water, inadequate window screens, and issues with the new wood stove's heating efficiency. Despite these drawbacks, guests enjoyed their stay and expressed a desire to return.

My band loves staying here. We have come twice now to have songwriting retreats. It is peaceful, warm with the wood stove, and accommodating with the two bedrooms, kitchen, and living room. We will continue to return to this cabin forever!

Absolutely loved our stay at Vigilante during opening week of the big game season and then again I’ve thanksgiving week. Great property, clean and easy to use. Location is also awesome. Weather was a little too nice so we never did get our elk but definitely plan on staying in Vigilante again!

Everything went well and we were very satisfied. I think you need to haul some gravel into the parking area as it was wet when we showed up and rained some making that big puddle a little hard to walk around.

Cabin is very clean and is easy to drive. The Ruby River is a short walk from the cabin.

We have stayed here several times during the winter for our snowmobile trips. It is always nice to come back to a warm cabin with power. Having a refrigerator and Oven really makes it a great experience. Will continue to this great cabin for our winter trips.
