Cabin is in a beautiful location. There is an awesome creek across the road. Visitors daily stopping by to check out the historical building. Was happily surprised to see a fridge. Wasps everywhere all day, multiple stings in our group so we stayed inside or far from the cabin during the heat of the day. Lots of biking and hiking opportunities right from cabin. Bull River is very close but need to hike through bushes to access, tributary across the street much more accessible. Both very cold!

Another great time at the Bull RIver Cabin, late June there are mosquitoes, bring plenty of bug spray.

We really enjoyed our stay. A very nicely stocked kitchen. Make sure to bring mattress covers. The ones on the beds are very stained.

The furnace is so loud it kept us all awake most of the night. The windows and doors are absolutely filthy and haven't been cleaned in years. We did basic cleaning but at $75 a night we are entitled to a more sanitary situation.

Lovingly done historic preservation, complete with period-appropriate furniture. The kitchen is well outfitted with cooking and eating paraphernalia. We re-upped our water supply by boiling water from the nearby East Fork.
Do be aware that there are mice in the cabin. We found no operative traps and didn't think to bring our own. Plan your food storage system accordingly!

This is a very nice cabin with all amenities available except for drinking water. Otherwise, it was clean and comfortable.

We had a great stay here! We have a minivan with snow tires and were able to drive all the way up to the cabin on the roads with no issues in mid-February. We stayed with 6 adults/3 couples and each couple was able to have their own room. Cabin had everything we needed for cooking/eating. The heating worked great and we stayed plenty warm at night. Enjoy!
