Tilly Jane A-frame

Very cute place to stay. Cozy fire with lots of wood provided. We did see a very fat rat upstairs so keep your food and TP secure.

This is such a fantastic spot to stay for a night or two, especially in the winter when the trek up keeps the crowds to a minimum. You could easily spend a few days here without crossing paths with more than a handful of other hikers—unless it's the weekend, of course. If you're just passing through, it's always a warm and welcoming place to stop, rest, and maybe swap a few trail stories over some snacks. Perfect for anyone seeking peace and solitude.

Gorgeous little spot. I had no idea you could reserve the A frame. It's a bit sad they had to lock it down due to vandalism. Highly recommend taking the Tilly Jane Trail 600A to the shelter for magnificent views into Polallie Creek

Cozy, lots of room, lots of places to hang wet clothes and gear, darling little veranda on the second floor, best backwoods bathroom I've ever used. The firewood stove is a true delight, providing warmth and beauty and ambience. Step ladder to the loft above. Mice or rats are definitely a problem, but lots of hooks to hang your food and a steel locker that worked great! Outdoor picnic tables. Stream for filtering water. Excellent Basecamp for climbing Hood via Cooper Spur.

Such a fun place to stay for a night or two, especially in the winter when the trek up makes traffic very light. Could easily go a couple of days without meeting more than a couple other hikers, except on weekends. If you're just passing through, it's always a welcoming place to warm up and possibly share some snacks and trail stories.
