This is an incredibly beautiful spot, and the cabin is very cozy. Also, the North Fork of the John Day is right in the backyard, suitable for dunking and wading. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the bugs were pretty bad - a few wasps, but clouds of hover flies and orange butterflies at the front porch. I think people have been tossing there waste water there! In the evening, ravenous mosquitoes. Still, paradise with a few warts.

Great place. Rustic and quiet. Only complaint was the futon mattress. Very hard and uncomfortable. Bring a pad or cot for everyone. Gas heat worked great. Lights are pretty dim. Good fridge and oven/stove. Nearby outhouse is very nice concrete building. Trailer spot on sight. Road in was easier than expected from description. Mind you this was August. If you go keep it nice. This place was a treasure and I intend to go back.

The cabin and environs were so clean and beautiful. The new gas heater was a luxury! We were having a great time and then the smoke rolled in. Too smokey for us so we left two days early. We will be back!

Excellent location. Drive in was no problem but snow in upper elevations made driving to Elkhorn Crest difficult (road up to Anthony Lake is not plowed). Hiking along John Day River was very nice and even did some fishing. Isolated location means its very quiet and rustic.
