Nice view from the cabin, and the cabin is very well equipped.

We were at Wall Creek Cabin just a few days ago (mid July 2022). All other FS cabins I've been to (about 20) have that same concrete vault outhouse. Not this one. You get an old fashioned handmade outhouse. Even the seat and lid were homemade. It wasn't horrific inside but it was getting uh....full. And my gf found a garter snake in it. Nearest outhouse alternative is 6 mi of bumpy dirt road away.
You also get a clear view of HWY287 from the cabin, BUT it is 3 mi away and you can't hear anything and lights don't shine on u either. It's just weird that you are otherwise really remote.
You won't be alone. There's another cabin 200' away. Occupied by a legit cowboy (hat, 6 shooter, boots, etc). He's a nice guy though. I assume he's under contract with the FS to perform various duties in the area.
You better like horses cuz four mostly just roam free in the 10 acre or so enclosure that the 2 cabins are in. They are curious and pretty friendly. Just use common sense around them. The cabin was fine. No issues at all and it was in good shape.
The road in was bumpy but fine with the Subaru. Really any passenger car could make it. Beautiful weird country. Deer. Antelope and a coyote. Close to the Madison River.
I give it only 4 stars because the outhouse situation almost ruined it for my gf. And if you want to fish, you have to travel 6 mi of road to the river. Otherwise it's a 5 star experience. One of the most unique cabin experiences I've had. The view was worth $1000 a night and interacting with the horses was really fun.

Road going in is a little rough so probably not best for low clearance vehicles. Great views and clean, well equipped cabin.

nice location - really enjoyed exploring Wall Creek WMA and the cow trail up behind the barn is great for a quick stroll. "Cabin" worked out fine - as usual need to bring most of your own cook ware and coffee pot (pretty sad assortment in the cabinet). The 1920-era pit toilet is still there in all it's glory, too bad Forest Service won't use all the $$ they have on the books to replace it. It's also strange that the historical ranger's house/station and barn are given free to the range permittee, which the cabin renters are relegated to the bunk house and pit toilet. Oh well. Still a nice stay
