A fun exciting experience for my grandsons. Clean well maintained cabin.

Wonderful location, supremely beautiful and peaceful. My wife and I reserved this for Father's Day '24 and brought our two dogs with us. The cabin is easy to get to, not a paved road but definitely well traveled and well maintained, but tucked away enough that it feels private/remote. The cabin itself is somewhat rustic but with modern features. It has solar powered lights installed, which we did use sparingly, a gas powered refrigerator and stove, and a wood burning stove as well inside, none of which we used but was nice to have the option. The fire pit out front is equipped with a grill top you can swivel on or off the fire and is ringed with log benches on all sides for a nice, cozy feel. There was plenty of wood available in the wood shed behind the cabin with a fair amount already chopped and ready and an axe if more was needed. The pit toilet a little way up the path seemed relatively modern and clean with plenty of tissue available (we did bring our own just in case). The inside of the cabin is also equipped with 2 bunk beds, a table and chairs, a sink, cooking utensils, pictures of the grounds in earlier years, etc. One of my favorite aspects of this place is that you could hear the sound of the cold, clear water running down the rocks in the creek from the fire pit, very serene. We did walk down to the wider part of the creek in the meadow but were getting eaten by mosquitoes. We didn't see any fish in the creek. We built a fire with some of the wood provided and grilled potatoes and corn on the cob and steak. The view is incredible out over the meadow towards the snow capped mountain. We brought a propane lantern with us which proved handy as it got dark quickly. We heard lots of birds and in the morning, on the way back down the road we saw several deer and elk. This place is truly a hidden gem. Would highly recommend to anybody looking to get away, just remember to leave it as clean as you found it! We'll definitely be back in the future.

My wife and I had an awesome weekend here!

Amazing! We loved this place! I cannot wait to go back. The fall colors were absolutely amazing and it snowed while we were there. It was such a magical 2 nights in one of the darkest and quietest spots we have ever been. There's just about everything you need including a propane fridge and stove. Lots of cool board games to play surrounded by beautiful nature. No cell service makes for an awesome digital detox. Great hiking is also very close by so be sure to get out and explore. Don't forget to chop some wood for the next guest!!!

Wonderful and unique place. Quite a drive but worth it. Great firepit area outside, clean outhouse and lot's of space on the property to explore and campout too.. Wood burning fireplace keeps things cozy. Some updates to the cabin would be nice, such as inside paint, fireplace tools, and kitchen area . Little things that make a difference. Also there is only a bunk bed, two twins, so really sleeps 2 adults unless you bring an air mattress. We had a great time and will be back!

Getting away somewhere like this is like a dream. Mostly quiet, with the exception of folks getting lost or just exploring coming to poke about the guard station. One minor downside is that most people don't know this is a rentable property, and so they tend to come through and be loud despite the fact that we were staying there. If there was a better indicator that it might be occupied, folks might have been less careless.

The Trout Cr GS was a lovely weekend getaway in the Ashley NF. We'll be back again!

Surrounded by conifers, the cabin offers serene silence. The sunsets are gorgeous from the front porch. There are only 2 beds, not three as shown, but with an extra cot, we got by in comfort. Actually the cots were more comfortable than the old beds. A pot belly stove keeps the cabin warm during the evening. All in all, it is a wonderful site.

Great FS cabin, I loved it. I've stayed in FS cabins all over the place for the last 15 years or so and this one ranks near the top. The heating stove inside and the solar powered led lights were awesome and made my stay that much better. I found a couple of nice hiking trails nearby as well as a lake. I didn't use the propane stove or frig, and they had had to turn off the water due to freezing, but it was still great. I really appreciate the Forest Service making this cabin available.

Love this place. We have been 2 times with grand kids and we love it. Perfect for being completely alone and star gazing.
