Great cabin. We enjoyed our time there despite initial disappointment of it being just a few feet off a paved road. We are used to the FS cabins being more remote, but it was quiet and we only had a one person stop. Nice to have the Yaak River right there. We enjoyed being able to hear it and see it, just wish there was better access to it. Mattresses are firm - really need box springs to fit the frames - so, typical of these cabins. You might want to bring an air pad and/or your own cot.
The fridge and stove worked great in the huge kitchen. It's very well stocked and having an indoor sink with a working drain was an unexpected delight. The propane lanterns all worked well. Mosquitos were present but not horrible. I was more concerned at the wasp next on the outhouse roof overhang as some of my party are highly allergic. We were impressed with how clean the cabin was upon arrival.

Wonderful nice historical cabin! Bring everything you need even mattress protectors and TP. The mosquitoes were BAD in the cabin, not too bad outside.

Thermostat still doesn't work after 2 years. No replacement mantels so bring some. Perfect other than that.

What a wonderful Winter solstice stay! The cabin warmed up fast and had everything I could have wanted for a quiet weekend.

Our family of 6 always has a great time in our yearly over nighter to the upper ford cabin. After a cozy night’s rest, we like to spend our mornings exploring the small river. Great place to unplug!

The Yaak is such a beautiful area & the continental weather patterns certainly do collide here, hence the fabulous old growth trees & rich vegetation. So many lakes, trails, backroads to explore. The cabin was clean & cozy. The oven does work, you just have to follow the instructions & make sure it lights properly, it may take a couple of attempts. We did have a moose (appx 2 yrs) walk down the river about dusk while we were sitting by the fire & deer came into the yard every day. The beds aren't bad but the futons could use some new cushions.
Make sure to bring your own TP as it was not provided. Big thanks to the Forest Service for taking such good care of the place & sharing it with the public. So R E L A X I N G being off the grid. We'll def be back.

Beautiful cabin. Beds are comfortable, futons are not. Outhouse very clean, we found extra toilet paper, you may consider bringing some to add to the stash. Fridge works really well! Did not try the oven, but stove top works great. The light over the stove takes a different kind of mantle (the one with strings), we were not able to replace. We swept up a lot of dog hair that was not from my dogs. Only 3 coffee mugs, FYI.
Very quiet and peaceful, Yaak river out back is lovely, lots of birds and river access at the bridge is nice. Can't wait to go back!
