Moose Lake Cabin

Clean, incredibly well stocked! One of the lovelier public cabins I have stayed in! The stove is AWESOME.

Be a good renter and love this cabin. Please do not corral your horses in the cabin yard. There is a huge horse corral next to the cabin for that. Seeing the yard all torn up and poo everywhere was pretty upsetting.

Also, please only chop wood by the wood shed. There is no reason to get wood chips all over the place.

We last stayed 9/24/21 (See review) for just one night and not much has changed. We feel lucky we got to enjoy the last few $20 reservation nights for a 4 night stay. No mice during our stay.

To Jason W who was not happy about batteries and propane, always bring your own stuff. These items are not guaranteed or promised to be there. The USFS does not even promise wood will be there. Just trying to help you and others.

If you want wood for the fire pit if you bring a chainsaw there is plenty of downed trees between the toilet and the creek.

Thanks to the various people who left facial tissue, the fairy lights (We love them too!) and made the ax super sharp!

Wood was well stocked but we even added more. We also left some D batteries and a fresh new propane canister. We try to be givers and not just takers.

We looked for the bathtub but sadly it was missing. We thought it would be great to get a photo with snow in it.

If somebody has a decent broom please being to leave in the toilet to keep it swept too.

The cabin would be a lot better if there was propane there and more lights when we got there there was no propane and the batteries were dead in there he lantern

Awesome place to spend a few days. We fished the creek and cooked delicious food over the wood stove. We brought all of our food and supplies in totes, which was awesome as there are quite a few mice who came to visit.

We stayed in the Moose Lake Cabin for a couple nights in late June-early July. It's a cute little cabin with easy access to the Middle Fork of Rock Creek and privacy from the main Moose Lake Road thanks to a row of willows and a dip in the landscape. The cabin itself and vault toilet were clean and well-stocked. We really liked the fact that screened windows on two sides open up and allow a cross breeze to keep the cabin cool and airy. We hope a new screen door will be installed (we could see the hinges and lock where earlier ones hung) for more light and air.

The only issue was, just like most of the old ranger stations and guard cabins on the ground, a little mouse or five who liked to come out at night and whenever we left the cabin in the day to gnaw and poo on our stuff. Fortunately, we always travel with sealed hard-sided plastic tubs for camp gear and food so there was no damage. Be aware to keep everything sealed in similar protective containers otherwise you'll have a dash of mouse seasoning in your food here at Moose Lake.
