The Ford cabin was an ideal base for a 3 day stay in late November 2024. Our stay coincided with a significant snow accumulation. We enjoyed excellent x-country skiing and wildlife observations. The cabin met our every need. A bushy tailed wood rat was eliminated during our stay. Look for the rat trap inside a cabinet drawer. There was absolutely no sign of any critters within the cabin. Bait the trap with cheese, deploy it out on the deck, and visitors will sleep peacefully without the scurrying clatter of "rats in the rafters" (See the handful of previous public reviews, some humorous, that document packrat headaches) The Ford Cabin is a gem. Get out there and enjoy the experience.

The river was blown but we had it to ourselves. Beautiful weather and a great time to enjoy GNP

I don’t want to say anything good.
Too hard to reserve it already!

Overall positive experience. The packrat thing is real and loud at night, so plan accordingly. (Earplugs, a battery powered fan if you can to drown out noise) or you will not sleep!
