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.

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.

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.

Always love our time there! So many good memories. So very peaceful. Also appreciate the fact that the price is still within range of the average family. Hated to see it go up last year. But, such a lovely place.

great trip, the sunlight station is always the best stop in the mountains, been there many times over the last 15 years.
Always loved the hosts Miss Peggy and Mr. Keith, they were super people.
The cabin is a true Gem.
Thanks Tony

Awesome! We are older “flatlanders” with some recent joint replacements. With short walks/hikes and some sitting still we had a wonderful time with friends.

I hit the jackpot!!! I got to meet the cabin caretakers, Steve, Lynn, Dell and Cindy. Late year I met Dell and Cindy so it was awesome to see them again. Two days in a row there were rain storms that hit the area during my visit and knocked out the power....guess what, the caretakers invited me to dinner at their cabin during the outage!! I feel like I died and went to....well, Sunlight Rangers Cabin!! There are some awesome places and awesome people on this planet....and when they come come together!!!
