Three of us enjoyed a two night stay at Rock Creek Cabin. It was awesome, everything was as described. It was so nice to have electricity, and the best wood stove ever ! The water was as described, very mineralized, and we brought along a big jug from home, so we were able to have pump water for dishes and cleaning, and our home water for drinking, dogs, and cooking. I would recommend the same for anyone squeamish about yellow tinged water ! The firewood available is plentiful, and it seems that people do their share to replenish both the wood and the kindling, as we did. The upstairs gets quite warm, so plan to adjust the wood heat ahead of time so as not to bake those sleeping upstairs. BEFORE you get the stove roaring, check out the instructions on the wall behind the woodstove if you are unfamiliar with using a woodstove. A tip for the managers of the cabin, please make a copy of the instructions separate from the wall and put it in a place easily noticed for people to find ! This cabin is a gem, and it seems that people take care of it, we were so impressed at the overall cleanliness of the furnishing, dishes, tables, etc. Thanks to all who treasure this wonderful spot, we are so lucky to have such an accessible and well taken care of cabin. The proximity of the Creek is miraculous, and we were fortunate not to have any moose company while we were fishing, but I would expect that was pure luck. We look forward to visiting again, and are so grateful that this is being taken care of within the Preservation Program for the future !

The cabin is equipped with an electric stove, refrig, and heat. Roomy and very comfortable. New picnic tables outside and big fire pit. Will come here again. Thanks to Pburg USFS for maintaining this great resource.

This is a nice facility. The cabin is more secluded than years ago as the vegetation has grown high so you don't see the road. There is access to the creek and Skalkaho Highway is always an interesting drive.
Cabin has electricity and is furnished well.
