Excellent little cabin, nice location, convenient fridge/stove and heater on propane. Some traffic—good gravel road draws lots of passerby, the toilet block gets some public visitors by day. Nice fire pit. Two bunk beds w good mattresses. Bring water and bedding. The heater is strong. Dishes, pots and pans, silverware all included.

Great location. Big sleeping area and good kitchen space. Public vault toilet was convenient. Gas lamps are nice but set off the carbon monoxide alarms after a few hours. Heater didn’t work which was a major bummer because it was 10-20F outside. There’s no other way to heat the cabin. We would have been in real trouble if we didn’t have 0 degree rated sleeping bags. This cabin is stocked with almost literally nothing. Bring your own kitchen gear, matches, water or pot to melt snow, lighters, blankets, matches, pillows, matches, toilet paper, and battery-powered lamps.

This was a fantastic experience, and we hope to be able to come back at a different time of the year! Cabin was easily located, stocked with minimal dishes and basic cleaning supplies. I would recommend bringing basic oils, spices, chopping board and knives if you are looking to prepare more elaborate meals; along with water, as there is no water on site. It can sleep 4 but know that the arrangements are 2 bunk beds. There is a newer outhouse that is clean, and has a rail for those needing extra support. The views were stunning; breathtaking sunsets and sunrises, cows wandering about and heard the local pack of wolves howl during the night. Lucky enough to see a lightning storm light up the sky our last night there. Bugs weren't bad at all, and no snake sightings either! This would be a great place to bring a dirtbike, and for birders, be sure to bring your binoculars! There's a barn owl near the cabin, along with endless mountain bluebirds. A big firepit is right by the cabin, and there are so many downed trees, you can forage for all the wood around and still not make a dent. Lookout is closed to visitors, but the views were still phenomenal. This was a great experience!

Place is pretty livable. Gas heater works great. Nice alternative to camp in tent.
