The CCC House was clean, comfy, warm and perfect. Our only disappointment was pulling in and seeing four travel trailers with residents within feet of our stay. I'm assuming there were Forest Service employees or volunteers but we were hoping for a more private space to relax and vacation. They never interacted with us, but it still impacted our ability to relax and really enjoy the slice of heaven that is Portal.

Really enjoyed our time at the cabin. Very relaxing with great hiking near by.

Very cool place! It is obvious the USFS [ dept. of ag. ] doesn't spend any money on upkeep. Daylight through and around doors. Wind comes in around the rattling windows. Grounds around cabin are in total abandonment. The cabin itself is very cool. Cave Creek is very cool.

Non-citizen here: I am amazed that a government agency is able to provide such great accommodations in such a wonderful place. U.S. public lands are no doubt one of the great treasures of the country and this cabin in Cave Creek Canyon is proof of it. Thanks!
