The property exceeded our expectations. The cabin is by far the best National Forest Service cabin we have ever stayed in. Clean and well stocked with everything we required. The caretakers Cindy and Dell clearly take alot of pride in their jobs and the property. We are looking forward to our return.

The cabin was immaculate and had everything we needed. Our hosts, Cindy and Dell, were so friendly and very helpful in providing us with information about hikes in the immediate area. We enjoyed it so much that we are telling all of our friends about it.

Home away from home unplugged. If you want to disconnect, this is the place to go. Comfortable, well kept cabin with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Grateful for the opportunity to spend time there. Hosts, Cindy and Dell, are great!

Baby moose haven, charming cabin with fully functioning kitchen and fireplace. Can’t go wrong with this choice, especially with the best docents in the world nearby and ready to advise and help. A must go!
