Hamma Hamma Cabin

Cabin was cozy as ever. Due to a slick slushy driveway we parked at the bottom and walked up with all our gear. Little did we expect our weekend to turn into a blizzard lock down! We went from no snow to 2+ feet overnight! It was beautiful but we were also stuck. Thankful for the heat and amenities!

The place was cute and decently maintained. There were a number of mice and we saw two running around. The place is closed once a week for cleaning. But it is clear the cleaning is not being done. We were there the day after cleaning was supposed to happen. There was a clogged sink drain with food waste. We swept the floors and collected to dust bins of hair, dog hair, dust, food scraps and mice droppings. The door window screen is torn. The stove cooktop is greasy and could use a good cleaning. There were good scraps left on the counters. All the cast iron skillets, except one, were in bad shape and needed cleaning.

The propane lighting mantels over the kitchen table were not fitted well and leaking not burning all the propane and leaving the cabin with smell of propane. The light over the stove had no glass covering and didnt burn cleanly. The back bedroom mantel makes a popping sound when it burns. 2 of the three carbon and fire dectors were missing batteries and the fire alarm in the hallway was missing.

The gate at the bottom doesnt have a lock on it so visitors show up and makes it uncomfortable when people drive in at night.

The fridge and freezer need cleaning a thawing.

This place is nice and has been nice but it is going the way of another cabin over in Naches where it used to be really nice but slowly failing to maintain has resulted in lots of little things building up.

Its fine but could be a lot better.

Super adorable cabin with a well stocked kitchen! The cabin was pleasantly clean as well. We did have an issue with a few of the mantels being unusable, causing the carbon dioxide alarm to go off, SCARY!! making for a very dark night 1. We went into town and bought all they had to replace/leave extras. We relaxed, explored, ate well, had a campfire and relaxed some more. I recommend bringing some additional lighting, slippers, and more water than you think! We also didn’t bring paper towels and ran out by day 2. Idk if those are supposed to be supplied by the cabin or if they were left behind. There was plenty of TP. Might not be a bad idea to bring a couple rolls of each just in case :)

The cabin itself is beautifully restored and outfitted with everything you need to stay cozy. Unfortunately, it was clear that previous guests had disrespected this wonderful public resource by not cleaning up after themselves, as the Forest Service requests everyone do, since there is no clean-up crew coming between guests. It was also clear by the volume of pet hair present that people had been bringing their pets, which is unfortunate for other guests with allergies. Even though I loved the cabin, I likely won't stay here again because the culture of users seems to disregard the needs and experience of fellow users.

Cabin was neat, in both forms of the word!

I used this for a night to just escape and disconnect. I am eager to book again and go back with friends!

I've stayed at this cabin before, and love it. However, this time I wasn't able to get in because the code for the door lock didn't work. This is a fairly remote site with no cell service, so no calling the Quilcene Ranger Station. I returned home and called the ranger station, and they said they've been having trouble with that lock and are going to have someone check it out! I wonder how many others will be left out in the cold. We should get refunds at least.
