Cabin was well-cared-for and supplied with plenty of wood for chilly nights. There was a very deep puddle (3ft deep) just before the cabin, so high clearance is a good idea. Enjoy!

We have been enjoying the Big Creek cabin and many of the other cabins around the state for the past 27 years!! Sadly they've become so popular they are so very, very hard to book! We are very thankful that we were able to go during this unfortunate time in the world's history!! We left it cleaner than we found it and hopefully that trend will continue!! Looking forward to visiting this beautiful place again, hopefully next year!! Sorry to see that people have abused the privilege of having easy access to wood for a fire by stealing it!! All our best, Stacy, Paul, Jo Barb, Josh and Sarah

Nice, old cabin adjacent to the creek. Beautiful location and well maintained.
Be sure to bring a campstove if you do not have enough time to wait for the wood cookstove to heat up.
