Guests at Cold Springs Cabin praised the helpfulness of the Forest Service staff, notably their quick response to a water pump issue, which was resolved within a day. The location is ideal for hiking and photography, offering stunning wildflowers and opportunities to see wildlife like elk and antelope. While mosquitoes can be a nuisance in the evenings, overall, visitors enjoyed a peaceful and serene environment.

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.

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.

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.

Warm days, cold nights. Many butterflies but the nighthawks have headed south. The cabin was clean and all the utilities functioned well. Heard a varmint in the attic which was not great. Two forest service workers came by to test the water. They checked the attic and found nothing. The traps in the attic were still in place. They told us the cabin will receive a new roof this year.

Early June, wildflowers in abundance. The cabin had a strong gas smell when we arrived. After much sleuthing, we determined the cooktop pilot light was out and relit it. No hot water. Very, very low water pressure.
