I have stayed over in this location with horses in the past, enjoying a couple of days of riding the local trails. This year the condition of the cabin and corrals sadly were in disrepair. The Water spicket on the outside of the cabin was not even connected making access to get water for the horses very difficult. The gates to the corral were broken requiring us to use rope to keep them closed.
We did come across a Bull Moose, Cow and its calf which made the riding nice. The ride to the lookout is always fun and scenic too.
While this location has been a favored spot to stopover it is really in need of some repair.

Great cabin. Clean and comfortable. My kids loved the board games that were at the cabin. Fun place, with lots of fun things to do around it.

This is second time we stayed here. It is a convenient location on the way to the west. Angela from the Big Piney Ranger District is always very responsive and eager to help.
The cabin was very clean when we arrived and we left it as it was when we left. The AT&T cell service is available by the gate.
Although it didn't bother me much, my husband complained about fresh cow dung every where in the yard. We had to be extremely careful not to step on them when we build a camp fire in the fire pit. They did not exist when we stayed here last year about the same time.

Wonderful little cabin with electricity and running water. There is a cute pub and restaurant about a mile from the cabin. Must see Granite Falls and Hot Springs!

Clean and well kept, with a tile floor, electric lights and stove, microwave and toaster. Quite a ways off the road, although you can still hear the traffic. I never got cellphone coverage, but I found in the evening if I walked down to the gate I would have it. (Verizon, Aug 18)
