In spite of the low snow year, the cabin was exquisite. I am used to skiing in with a gear sled. We did get 1/2” of new snow the morning we left.
Thanks to USFS for a first rate facility.

The cabin was very clean and organized. Well stocked and even had running water in the kitchen sink! The bathroom was super clean as well. Will definitely come back!

Always a pleasure, and don't forget to pack your LED lanterns! Next time I come I'll print out the most recent XC ski trail map as the paper copies in the book are out of date and missing some trails. Enjoy!

We love Peterson Prarie Cabin and have stayed here many times. Unfortunately, the cabin wasn't prepped for the snow this time, so we spent several hours clearing a path to the house, the wood shed, and the vault toilet.

The Peterson cabin is well equipped in the kitchen for pots, pans, dishes, and eating utensils. I was very pleased to see a new propane refrigerator had been installed. The price per night is great and you get a lot of cabin for that price.

I love visiting the Peterson Prairie cabin in the winter season. The cabin is well appointed and well cared for. I recommend giving the ranger station a call beforehand to get the most recent conditions report.

Fairly straightforward cross country ski in. Bring drinking Water and a few more lanterns/headlamps. Use really small kindling in the fire place for quite a while as it heats up and then progress to medium size wood before going for the big pieces. A sheet is nice on the bed even if you do bring sleeping bags. There are plenty of dishes for everyone and the stove works well for cooking.

Clean, comfortable and stocked with everything you’d need. The description on the site actually undersells it. We’ll be back!
