Deer Creek Cabin offers a fantastic location near Murphy Lake and the Grey's River, making it an ideal spot for a beautiful, secluded getaway. Many guests enjoyed the comfortable cabin atmosphere and the stunning surroundings, often returning for repeat visits. However, some issues were noted, including maintenance problems with the refrigerator and toilet, and challenges accessing the cabin due to a long, rutted gravel road.

An amazing spot. More well stocked than I expected. When we went, (6/22) the propane fridge wasn't working, but it wasn't a big deal for us. We kept the drinks in the ice cold creek and kept the rest in our cooler. Beautiful isolation.

We love the cabin! This is our 2nd time at deer creek. We came early in June and missed the horses. The woodpecker in the wall made the stay even more interesting!

Second time here. Compared to other forest service cabins, this one is well maintained with a shower (new shower head) propane heat lighting and fridge. As always I cleaned the glass on the wood stove. Greys River road is a well travelled thorofare. In dry weather the dust from the road hangs thick in the air.
