West Boulder Cabin

Stayed 3 nights early April. It was wonderful. The cabin was clean and had lots of extra supplies in the kitchen and plenty of games and puzzles for the the rainy days. Having the river so close and hiking trails a hop and skip away was so much fun. Ill definitely book this cabin again.

Best forest cabin ever for a family with younger kids!

This place is amazing! Great rustic cabin that has everything you need, access to the river, access to the trails, and amazing views. Loved it and want to go back! Cleanest pit toilet I have ever used!

Wonderful cabin. Easy to get to with 4WD. We were able to park right up to the gate to the property. Plenty of wood was stocked for the stove inside and we went through a lot but us 3 women kept warm. The property was beautiful. The stars were amazing. The cabin was stocked with plenty of necessities. I can’t wait for another girls only off grid adventure to the W Boulder Forest Service Cabin.

Fantastic cabin. I’ve always loved it and will be back for sure.

West Boulder was perfect for three hunters, plenty of beds for 5 (not bunks-but single twins) - great location for hunting, but also great for sightseeing and hiking in the summer. Wouldn't change anything.

We love this cabin and have been coming here for decades. This time the previous visitors left their garbage sack which we had to take with us.
Also, the side door handle/lock is broken. We duct-taped the bolt so that it opens. Needs repair or someone will get locked out.
We encountered no mice.

I love this cabin, been here many times but I’m really disappointed how disgusting it was when we arrived. I spent the first hour or so just scrubbing the fridge/freezer out, cleaning up mouse poop (the mouse was dead in the trap so hope it was the only one) and the rest of the mess the previous people left. I didn’t even open up the cupboards, didn’t want to get hantavirus and didn’t have enough paper towels left to clean the microwave or oven. We also picked up a ton of dog poop!!! People need to clean up after themselves and their pets!!!!! Lots of mice squeaking and scratching, at night and early morning….must be in the attic. A grizzly bear decided to visit us at our fire so we packed up and left pretty quick, a night early, still left the cabin wayyy cleaner then how we found it. Hope people respect this cabin and be courteous for the next person. Be bear aware, lots of food, cans, wrappers and even eggs in the fire pit.

I have rented this cabin several times in the past. The last time was about 7 years ago and I have no recollection of it being overly filthy. When we arrived and saw all of the mice feces and nests in addition to the smell of mice dropping we decided not to stay in the cabin and fortunately had our camper with us. I was not willing to haul water from the river and spend several hours cleaning before use. While the "camp site" is lovely the increased fee from $35.00 per night to $75.00 would not be a route I would have chosen. I did have an opportunity to visit with the forest service staff that came to the area and she said that the cabin was in it usual state of cleanliness. I disagree having past experiences with renting. there. While I realize budgets are tight-so is mine and I have to look for outdoor opportunities that are affordable. This was to be a special occasion and I used monies that I had been saving for a long while. I feel that the $300.00ish I spent with reservation.gov was a complete waste of money. I did consider canceling before my reservation and was appalled that the cancelation fee was $95.00!! So I opted to go ahead with the reservation. Too bad-I could have at least gotten some of my money back. I will never rent a cabin again and I really do not like the reservation program that the forest service has gone to. It makes use for local residents almost impossible and I wonder how many reservations are made and never used! Very very dissapointed.

Great cabin.
