This is a delightful little cabin. It was exceptionally clean when we arrived, and well stocked with toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and games. We noted the abundant comments about pack rats in the log books, but we were fortunate not to hear any activity ourselves, though there were rat or mouse turds on the deck outside. In any case, we really enjoyed our stay.

We found the cabin clean and cozy, and well stocked with supplies. Its proximity to the river is awesome, and we enjoyed Nordic skiing right outside the door.

The cabin is just north of Polebridge and is near the river. We enjoyed fly fishing and general exploring of the area. Would recommend.

We loved our overnight stay at Ford cabin. It was so pretty with the falling leaves and light snow. The cabin was super cute and cozy.

Toasty warm, cozy, and clean! Dug out the fire pit from the snow and had a relaxing night around the fire during a blazing full moon.
