Beautiful, quiet location and fun old cabin with a nice deck. Only complaint was that it smelled like propane inside (even with all the windows open). Also, presume it was a pack rat that kept us up most of the night as it diligently scrambled up and down inside the walls, occasionally stopping to gnaw at them.

Very nice cabin located on the eastern edge of Summit Prairie. There are nice roads behind the cabin for morning or evening hikes. A good place to base further travel. I visited Rock Creek, Lookout Mtn and fished Crooked River. Nice quiet location.

Loved the cabin. Very nice to see the preserved history that was in the cabin. We are up in the mountains a lot and decided we wanted to stay here. We will definitely be renting this cabin again. Very peaceful and quiet there.
