This is an "off the chart" great place to experience solitude and scenery! It offers plenty of space in the cabin with abundant amenities.
The very best part of staying at the cabin are the hosts. Dell and Cindy are an awesome source of knowledge of what to see, where to go, best fishing spots, hiking opportunities and etc.

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.
