This is my second visit to the cabin, I rent the cabin for myself and my friend we use the cabin for our annual Amateur Radio weekend. The cabin is clean and well appointed, the addition of the bunk beds and refrigerator made it a perfect base camp for us. The sunrise from to the top of the mountain is something to see. We will be back again next year.

We had a wonderful time!! It rained NONSTOP the entire time we were there. The cabin stayed dry and so toasty warm with the heaters running. We unfortunately did not get to see the mountain view because of the weather (it was so very foggy), but we still enjoyed some wet hikes at the campground at the base of the mountain, and had a wonderful time together! We hung a tarp from the cabin porch to the trees, which allowed us to enjoy a campfire even though it was raining. When we got too cold or wet, we stepped i9nside the cabin to dry off and warm up. It was a great spot for our first camping trip of the season!

A perfect spot to spend my birthday as I headed north from NRG. The cabin and outhouse were clean. There was ample firewood along with a saw and hatchet. The vista could use some tree trimming, but was still great. The heat was appreciated given the cool night. Great experience!

It was beautiful! We brought everything we needed even though it was more than well stocked with everything we needed.
The only downfall (and this may just be because I'm short) you couldn't really see down in the valley because of the overgrowth and trees. Still the view was gorgeous, and the silence was amazing. It was so dark we saw ALL the stars. We will absolutely be making it a yearly tradition! Highly recommended!

Road to mountain top is fine. Enjoyed exploring the park at the bottom of the mountain. Cabin is rustic but warm and comfortable. Bring your own pillows, blankets, etc. Decent pit toilet. Good amount of firewood. The mountain top is secluded with beautiful views and loved having nothing but the sounds of nature. We hiked along the ridge and found an old lumber road to hike back. The night sky was fantastic. Only one scary incident around 11PM, when two trucks drove up to the tower about 100 yards from us and started rapid shooting guns. We yelled to please not shoot our direction and they left. Gave us some nerves for a bit. Otherwise a super cool place to stay.
