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.

The area is lovely. The scenery rivals Zion Park. We came for the serenity and escape from electronic devises. We hiked to Sunny Flats and back. We took a day trip to Cloverdale. The cabin is snug and well-equipped for cooking. You do need to bring your own linens, towels and toilet paper.

Overall very good experience at the CCC house. Nice kitchen. Recreation.gov said firewood was supplied, but there was none; lots of big logs, but none chopped. Also, very rainy, so everything was wet. Suggest a bin for dry wood. Two broken lamps in bedroom corner: both very cheap plastic. One a table lamp, one a floor lamp. Need sturdy lamps. Did not know what lever did on wood stove; maybe controlled the damper? Thanks, John Weiss
