Overall, we had a good stay. Excellent location, comfortable beds, adequately-equipped kitchen (BYO knife, like most rentals). Camping wasn't an option due to physical needs and the cabin worked well for us. Some notes for those who prefer a less rustic experience: The cabin currently has 2 beds (double or queen) - no bunk, no futon, no easy-chair. The only seating is the dining room table/chairs. All the bulbs were out in the front bedroom (which is also the main entrance to the cabin), so we used camping lights. Pay attention to the note about cleaning: guests are not just expected to sweep and take garbage out - they ask that we scrub the bathroom, mop, etc. Instructions in the cabin say they "try" to have a professional cleaner once per month. That said, the cabin was clean when we arrived and we did our best to leave it in the same condition. I can imagine not being so lucky if you stayed after the wrong group. The folks who staff the adjacent visitor center are fantastic, but they are not responsible for the cabin, so there isn't anyone onsite to assist.

The previous guests left the cabin nice and clean for us, we certainly did the same for the next people. Plenty of wood for the stove which was good because the week was very cold and the cabin is a little bit drafty. Beautiful location.

It was much cuter than the photos. The porch in back was a piece of heaven at night we watched the stars at night and the Mountain Views were stunning. It made us feel cozy snuggled close to the Mountains. I am glad there is a fence we had Javalina come visit in the late afternoon. Bring your own bed sheets. The grill worked and toilets worked it wasnt super clean but we expect that. We cleaned before we left. Its right off the road and so you can walk across the road and take a stroll. We did some hiking near by. Lots of Birds and a quail lives near by in a bush. It was perfect for two of us. Shower felt great. It was windy one day so we stayed inside. Very Sunny. We will return. We saw and heard mice too.

Cave Creek Canyon is always awesome, so our stay was excellent. The cabin itself was comfortable and warm. Our only complaint and why I didn’t give 5 stars is that the cabin smelled of cigarette smoke when we arrived and the place was in need of a good cleaning.

The Cave Creek Canyon is astoundingly beautiful. The cabin is wonderfully rustic and yet has everything you need for a civilized stay. Hot water, all utensils, comfortable beds, fridge/stove/micro. The cabin sits right at the entrance to the Canyon across from a running creek. Each day brought amazing sunrises and brilliant sunset skies. Easy trails all around and tougher hikes a short drive away. We didn't need the heater at all or use the woodburning stove, nights were mild. Cozy but spacious enough for all the adults to stretch out. All the plumbing worked well :) Would have liked an enclosed yard to let my pups off leash for a few minutes but it was no big deal.
