If you want a bunch of ATVs in front you, this is your place. If by chance you think it'd be cool to enjoy nature, skip it. I couldn't even get to the cabin because there were a half dozen trucks with 4 to 8 capacity ATV trailers blocking the road to get to it.

From the cabin you can drive to Meadowlark Lake or drive down Crazy Women canyon or take a hike around the area.

Was a great time as always. We take 4 wheelers and grandkids and have a blast. Weather was good and everyone had a good time!

I just loved this cabin. I used it as a quiet place to make art. It was in an amazing location, clean and comfortable. I especially enjoyed the wood stove and access to hiking in Crazy Woman Canyon. The outhouse was very clean and the electricity made it possible to use my sewing machine which I set up on the kitchen table with a stunning view of the Bighorns out the window.

Lovely cabin in a sweet meadow. Quiet except for holidays as the FS road goes right past the cabin and ATV's are annoying and numerous. Most people do a bang up job leaving it clean for the next folks. We've been coming here for years.

It was great. We are a family of six and there was room for all. The woodstove kept us warm. We were able to heat water on it daily. The previous users left the place nicely clean. We had a great week. Thank you

Beautiful, quiet setting. Just enough infrastructure to be very comfortable! I enjoyed walking the long dirt roads to the edges of the plateau, and it was a fantastic homebase for exploring the surrounding area. I loved it!

They have added 4 electric heaters throughout the cabin for the cold nights, but the wood stove kept the space warm for us! We love this cabin!
