So peaceful and secluded-we loved it! A little hard to find even with multiple direction preparations, but we made it. I would suggest setting a trip odometer from leaving Buffalo (or any other landmark) to make it easier not to miss the service road turn.
Cabin was clean, plenty of firewood, and lots to see around the site. We plan to go back one day!

We couldn’t access the cabin. The road had just been paved/construction that day when we arrived and we couldn’t drive across it to get to the necessary road. A shame.

We had a great time at Pole Creek Cabin! Weather was great and all the snow had melted by the time we got there. We enjoyed playing games outside in the sun and setting up the hammock, lots of great trees for that. Wish I would have brought my slack line.
I would NOT recommend trying to find the cabin in the dark if it’s your first time. Apple/Google maps took us down the wrong road and we ended up at a different group of cabins - if this happens to you, head back to the highway turn left and then turn right at the next dirt road opening. We had to sleep in our truck because we knew we wouldn’t find it. The 200 yard walk wasn’t too bad but we definitely brought too much, I’d recommend bringing a wagon to haul your stuff up.
There is not a whole lot of items in the cabin for use. There are no cups, which is fine, paper plates and plastic silverware can be found. There is a stove but no propane for use. Some pots and pans. Lots of shade to keep you cool during the day. Great star gazing place.
We hiked up behind the cabin and found some good rocks to boulder in and sit and listen to the birds. Overall we had a great stay! Would go back again

Our winter trip was the perfect getaway! There is a new stove that doesn't make the cabin nice and warm without overheating you. We hav enjoyed every trip to Pole Creek and will be back again next winter!
