Gordon Reese Cabin

Always a lovely time.

The cabin is an excellent backcountry shelter, with ample space and most of the supplies you need for a comfortable stay. The wood stove provides ample heat and the mattresses are fine. The location can’t be beat - and the night sky on a clear night is ….indescribable….

The solar lights did not work because the prior quests left the light on to the upstairs sleeping area. The propane lights illuminated a small area. Would recommend bringing hiking headlamps for extra light.

Well stocked cabin with oven&range, lights (solar battery) and firewood stove (stocked inside) at beautiful, remote yet accessible location - pack fresh water in and trash out. 12+" snow fell to make ski trip fun but interesting getting out mid-winter. Cheif Joe parking lot not plowed next day so be prepared for anything! Cabin is shared with xc skiers during day and we were grateful for their kindness, help and had good winter experience.

Clean, quiet, private stay.

Cell phones don't work there. The lot wasn't plowed and we got stuck twice in the parking area even with four wheel drive.

This is a treasure but be prepared to bring some necessities. If the solar battery is not fulling charged, you’ll be in the dark unless using the fixed propane sconces. It’s recommended to bring your own light sources & batteries. The battery operated lanterns at the cabin haven’t worked for weeks. Bring your own trash bags and perhaps a small bit of dish soap. There was none during our stay

Area is fabulous! Have been going for years. The cabin is in tuff shape 😟. Solar has not worked for 4 years. Tons of snow on roof and no attention to it. People come in thinking there is water—- not your fault but find it interesting. ?
No journal to write in. No paper. No pen. Stove is difficult to use as parts are missing. Could be dangerous. Does not have the care and charm it used to have 🫣🥴😟. Would always come back as it is our back yard. Lucky to call it home. It needs some TLC.

beautiful location, great facility.
