Beautiful cabin, beautiful site. Very remote! Easy to reserve and the staff members with whom I spoke were very kind and helpful.

Need clearer instructions about location of key lock box (Old YouTube videos show it in basement doors). It is next to front door sign and hidden. Cabin and location are very nice. Only complaint is that bedroom windows do not open so gets stuffy. In hot weather it would be bad.

Farnsworth Cabin is a fairly spacious sized dwelling constructed in the late 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The trout hatchery and equipment garage was also constructed during this period as well. Setting of the Cabin is quite pretty with mostly second-third growth hemlock and red maples surrounding the property. Cabin is well stocked but can get stuffy and sticky if it is humid but there is a dehumidifier/fan. Along Farnsworth Creek there is a lovely trail that follows the creek as well. Fire pit looked like it was never clean out so I took the time to clean it out to have a nice fire. Every morning there was a mature bald eagle hunting for trout along the creek; it was quite pleasant to admire the bird early in the morning. There were also river otters in Farnsworth Creek early one morning as well. Be sure to view the night sky if you have a clear night; the milky way is highly visible from the Cabin. The Cabin is in a good launch point for various popular hikes and areas within ANF including Hearts Content (15 minutes), Hickory Creek Wilderness (20 minutes), Chapman State Park (25 minutes), Minister Creek (20 Minutes). Oil Creek State Park is about an hour away and Warren is about half an hour if you forget/need some items. Primary Complaints: Beds are horrendously uncomfortable especially after a few days of long hikes and excursions in ANF. At least one individual at the trout hatchery apparently "lives" there. Although I was aware that people would be in and out of the hatchery but I did not anticipate some being there all night riding ATV's, making noise, and shining lights towards us. Not oppressively disruptive; just annoying. Definitely disrupted the experience of getting away into the forest, having peace and quiet, and viewing the dark sky. Keep this in mind if you want to have solitude and peace. The cabin would have been perfect otherwise. Also, there is an active roof leak in the building which needs addressed as well.

My family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teen boys + puppy) had an absolutely lovely experience at Farnsworth. My one complaint is that the shower was really dirty when we arrived - neither 15 year old boy would go anywhere near it. A dedicated mom, a scrub brush, and some Clorox cleaner solved the problem. The rest of the cabin was pretty clean. The cabin is quaint and a bit dark when you first enter. It becomes quaint a absolutely lovely the longer you stay. Fire pit with sturdy grate made for some great outdoor meals. Kitchen was well stocked. Mattresses on bunks were much more comfortable than those on the queen beds. We did not miss air conditioning - in fact we had to find extra blankets from the car as it got pretty cool at night. Grocery store is 20+ minutes away. We really enjoyed downtown Warren - there a a handful of nice restaurants and a wonderful coffee shop. Fishing was OK, but not great. (It was mid July, which may have had something to do with it.) Very nice mountain biking trails in National Forest past the Kinzua dam. Perfect trees for hanging a hammock by the babbling brook behind the house.
