Wall Creek Cabin

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.

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

A nice hideaway with spectacular views. Surrounding buildings, barn, etc make it even more quaint. The horses that pasture there and the rancher who handles them are a joy and he was a lot of fun to talk to.

The cabin is well equipped. Bring a few little propane bottles and food. Fortunately I had a spare mantle with me for the provided light, as one needed to be replaced. (small signal size). Wood stove will turn the cabin into a sauna if you let the fire run to hot, to long. First snow of the year while we were here and it was beautiful. Seen some deer and elk but no shooters.(Elk season just started 2 days prior).
