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!

We enjoyed our time at upper ford cabin. Very comfortable, and the instant access to the beautiful country which surrounds it makes for one of the very most desirable destinations, check it out!

We had a lovely time. The cabin was well kept and the outhouse was clean. Note to future renters - the oven does not work. The stove top does, so it wasn’t a big deal. Cooking utensils are minimal so you might want to bring a few extra if you plan on cooking a lot.

The cabin & surroundings were beautiful! The river was great to have it so close. Lots of birds & water fowl. Pretty cool that an Engleman spruce was harvested there for the capital Christmas tree.

The Upper Ford Cabin is the ultimate place to go off grid. My opinion is this is a great rustic cabin with appropriate luxuries. Right on the Yaak River. So relaxing and perfect pace to mentally recharge.

Wonderful cabin in a very special spot. The cabin is very well set up and comfortable. We enjoy how quiet and private the site is despite being pretty close to Yaak if you need something from the store. We will definitely come back for another visit. Thank you to the Three Rivers RD for keeping this site up so well.
