It was an amazing experience and I'm grateful for the State parks and rec to allow us to rent them. Only complaint was leaking roof.

Beautiful views, solitude, etc. A wonderful respite. note that the FS road up to cabin is several miles beyond the community of Yaak to the left. The parking area is ONE mile past the gate, not THREE, as the directions indicate.
