About Crandall Creek Cabin

A historic cabin known as Bennett Creek Cabin was located over a mile from this site, but it was recently replaced with the current Crandall Creek Cabin, a traditional log structure. This cabin offers rustic accommodations with limited amenities, so guests should be prepared to bring most of the supplies and gear they need for a comfortable stay. Access to the cabin is via a semi-primitive dirt road. Four-wheel drive is suggested on this road from June 16 to Dec. 1. Guests who arrive after Dec. 1 must get to the cabin by hiking, snowshoeing, skiing or snowmobiling seven miles from the end of the plowed road to the cabin. No off-road vehicles or motorcycles are allowed beyond the Shields River Loop gate from Dec. 2 to June 15. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety.

What Guests Are Saying

Crandall Creek Cabin is a clean, cozy, and well-equipped retreat that offers a perfect layout for families, including bunk beds for kids. Guests enjoyed the scenic location, ample firewood, and breathtaking night skies, with many expressing a desire to return. However, a notable downside was the presence of numerous dead and dying flies, which required regular cleaning during the stay.

Our small group of six, ages ranged from 7 to 58, and had a great time! It is an easy road to get there and we enjoyed the privacy of the locked gate. We had NO bugs and the cabin was very clean. The higher bunk beds are a little scary, but we all slept well. The facilities were very clean. It had an excellent fire pit area and large tables for cooking, eating and game playing!
