Great stay & last guests in 2003.

The good:
We would stay again. This and 2 nearby cabins will be having price increases next year so reserve now.

Nice huge 3 bedroom cabin with huge porch to match. Bunk beds with dresser in 2 bedrooms & 1 queen with dresser in last all with curtains. Electricity. Has fans no ac.

Has fridge, sinks, stove/oven microwave, dishes, pots, pans, glasses & silverware. 6 place dining table.

Has shower/tub but must use solar shower since no water. Flushing toilet except November when porta potty is used.

Picnic table with fire pit.

We have Verizon & were able to get 4 bar 4G LTE but went down to 1 bar at times.

Saw no mice but saw evidence in utility room which needs to be cleaned. Huge metal box in here & the fridge great for mice proofing items.

Bring humming bird food as that seems to be a thing.

It's reported this used to be a hunting cabin with airstrip nearby. Supposedly it turned into a drug distribution center & was seized by the gov. Could not verify this but when you stay look for the hidden space. FUN!

The bad:
There is a locked gate but there is a wide opening on the left allowing access to people on dirt bikes & 4 wheelers to ride to the cabin. 2 of 3 days this happened. Also was a hunter set up right by the cabin violating distance regulations. If you have this happen while you stay make sure you complain to the rangers like we did so they block the entrance more. People should not be able to bypass the locked gate.

Fireplace closed until further notice.

Not too much of a view due to clouds and trees.

The queen mattress is SUPER firm. Bring a pad or air mattress.

No ax or maul if you bring wood for fire pit.

Porch swing is in utility room. Maybe the USFS will reinstall some day.

Some light bulbs out or missing.

Very nice cabin and beautiful surroundings. We got in late and mostly just slept here but found everything we needed to make a very comfortable night. In the morning we made coffee and hummingbird food and enjoyed watching the hummingbirds for a bit before we left for our next adventure. I wish we had taken the time to spend another night at this cabin.

This is a nice location. We did a day of mountain biking in the area. We got rained out, but the storms coming through the gap were better than anything on TV.
