We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! It was cleaner than expected and we loved the location. We hiked west of the cabin up into the nearby canyon and saw some deer. We hiked east of the cabin to the shoreline and saw a bald eagle. We swam by where the river came out from the west into the reservoir; it was away from the boats and fairly secluded. We had no problems starting fires in the ring and there was firewood already there. It was easy to locate more firewood, as there were piles of dried/dead juniper/sage brush wood, which worked quite well. It was a very simple vacation, and we loved it. Also, the water was AMAZING; best water I've ever had to drink!

This cabin is in a terrific location, close to the reservoir, streams, etc. Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. Nearby there are beautiful areas to visit by car, but not necessary. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It had a newly updated bathroom, new stove, new dishes and pots/pans. The cabin stayed cool even on hot days and heater worked great on cool mornings. The cabin exceeded our expectations and we would stay there again.

beds are not comfortable. noises at night makes it hard to sleep, mouse poo on table in the morning .i cleaned around and pulled cook stove out and mopped it, the water heater i used bleach and hot water and sprayed mouse droppings, there's a lot of dust in bedroom around beds near walls, beds are not for handicap, hard to get out of, need a futon or some kind of bed for handicap. Musty smell under kitchen sink, tried to clean it out, need a locked gate to the facility so random people don't drive up and stare at you. front yard tree needs trimming so you can see the water out window.
need a lock on the inside of back door for safety at night if someone knows the door code,

We enjoy this quiet old simple cabin. It has its own range to cook. Follow their advice, bring our own bedding, towels, hand soap, and trash bags. This is a a cabin where you pack out your own garbage.

This was a gorgeous location from which to explore the surrounding Joe's valley, the San Rafael Swell to the east and the high country of the Wasatch Plateau to the west. Remember to bring your own linens, including bath and kitchen towels. The kitchen was adequately stocked with utensils and pans for preparing meals, but none of the pots/pans had lids. So, bring your own as needed. The range and oven were mostly new, worked fine, but bring your own cookware if you plan on using the oven.

hot here .bring fans, dusty too and the drive way tracks in lots . floor was squeaky, the road to it was a joy . a truck load of sheep was in the road but ranchers rounded them up . beds were hard so bring some pads or pillows sewed together worked to make it more comfortable, bring coolers and ice / dry ice if you have food to cool. lots to see around area. atv trail walking trails at the end of drive way little stream on the path . no cell phone service so be prepared for that .store in Orangeville for gas and food and other stuff was great .great view from inside dwelling .solar power was good here ran fans and other stuff also. no shade at the picnic table outside .

The cabin was lovely! We had a great time and it was so nice to have a shower each day. The lake was beautiful and there is an awesome place to rent jet skis and a fishing boat nearby.

Easy to find. Well kept space. Inexpensive, and a good quality. Beautiful area for lots of fun. Stove was a little tricky, but we figured it out.
