We love the forest service cabins and have stayed in many over the past 20+ years. Hunters' spring is a beautiful setting and the area is also beautiful and fun to hike & ATV around We were disappointed that the cabin has not had at least minimal maintenance performed. such as window screens. every screen had large holes in them, that appeared many people have been trying to repair with duct tape and whatever other tape.. to cover them, this is not a big maintenance costs to replace screens etc.. we had a bat in the cabin..which is unfortunate along with mice. which mice are something you deal with in these cabins. awesome place, just would be nice to have NO bats...doesn't make for a restful night. i would think the forest service agents who were all staying at the hotel in white sulphur springs could be out fixing the screens & the 3 inch gaps below the doors on the cabin, to keep the rodents/pests out. it wouldn't take much. thank you.

Refrigerator igniter didn’t work. A kind person left instructions for DIY. Got it going on day 2. Refrigerator was moldy and required cleaning. Best leave the door open so the inside dries out Pretty of firewood.

When our son's family got there (two days before we were to join them) they found the cabin a mess-- mouse turds EVERYWHERE, and mice running around in daytime hours. Window broken. Bird feathers wrapped in foil (my son thought it was an actual bird in there, given the stench in the place-- he attempted to remove it but started vomiting). This was after 1.5 hours of the family using bleach wipes to wipe down everything, from counters to floors, to bedding, to fridge .... They then ended up just leaving the place without staying, and let us know to not bother going up there, ruining a family get-together that had been planned since last year. I called the Forest Service and they did a great job of getting up there ASAP to take care of things as best they could, so the next renters would (hopefully) have a good stay. I hope to stay in this neat-looking cabin sometime in the future!
