This cabin is great. It's a nice size for a small group, and the surrounding area is beautiful. There were dispersed campers very close by, which meant noise (generator) and little feeling of solitude. But the meadow out front is amazing, as are the hills behind.

Beautiful location, peaceful, trail to explore, great outdoor gathering area with firepit, picnic table, grill, etc. Be sure to bring an extra roll of TP for the outhouse -- it was about out.

Gorgeous backwoods site. Cabin has mattresses and an indoor wood stove. Firewood is provided. Excellent experience. Thank you rangers!

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!

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

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.
