I have stayed there for the last 5 years for a week at a time. It is what it is. It is old and dated but it is to be expected. For what it is it is very cozy. I like having a nice bathroom on site. The views are amazing.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in late July. So quiet and an insane amount of stars at night. No complaints about the listed amenities. A gem.

The views are spectacular. The cabin is ok. Considering where you’re at, it did well. The outhouse had zero toilet paper, just a lot of empty rolls. No instructions on how to turn on the gas heat or gas lights, we did figure it out after messing with them.. but you would think some instructions would be useful. They had a fire pit, but a sign when entering the area point to no camp fires, we were not sure if this applied or not. Cabin had a lot of board games, which was nice.

Clean little bunkhouse with an excellent firepit, so many wildflowers, and views for miles. And we found morels to cook with our butter and garlic!

Rustic but comfortable. Beautiful view from the top of the mountain looking into the canyons.
