Gordon Reese Cabin

Always a wonderful time! We really enjoyed the skiing and time together as a family in the cabin!

This has to be the best cabin we have stayed in.
It is built to accommodate X Country Skiers but you can use it in the summer season.

You can really unwind and relax here, it is very private. There are a lot of points interest near by.

I will probably return here often

Everything was great!

Good overall. However, no fire starter or kindling when we arrived at 1:30pm, so getting fire started was tricky. Temp about 50 degrees inside so not sure someone had stayed the night before. Solar lights were not working and D cell lanterns didn't throw much light in the basement to make kindling. Once fire started, cabin warmed quickly. Would advise to bring your own fire starter.
We used the Propane lights which worked fine. New stove worked okay. Did not need to light burners with a match which was a big improvement from last year. We did get the broiler to work, but not the oven.
Outhouse was pretty smelly, but not too unexpected for early March.
IMHO, because the price has increased from $8 to $83 per night this season, the cleanliness of the cabin overall has gone down, e.g. sweeping, filling snow water, wiping tables, filling wood box, chopping kindling, etc.
WORD Of WARNING- be prepared to dig your car out- make sure you have at least one shovel in your car. Our car was plowed in during the night, even tho we were parked on the "correct" side and there were only 2 cars in the parking lot. It took almost an hour for the 3 of us to dig it out; the worst problem was that the snow had been packed up against the side of the car, and was packed tightly into the wheels. Not a fun ending to our trip. But the weather cooperated, and was beautiful and sunny.

grooming happens on Thursday mornings

Excellent, as always.

Never disappointed. Great escape

Awesome cabin, disappointed to see that the fee has gone up to $90/night when it used to be free in the winter. Sad to see private corporations like rec.gov taking over the federal land use.

Such a fun experience! I recommend taking a screenshot or printing your reservation confirmation beforehand – when we showed up another group claimed to also have the cabin booked that night.

The absolute best, great experience! Looking forward to next year!
