Nothing in the description says about this cabin being on a ATV road. The road is very rough to the cabin, we actually ended up with a flat tire. The ATV's are non stop even into the night hours. In the summer if you open the windows in the cabin it is COVERED in dust inside! The community restroom is next to the cabin and through all hours of the night the door slams.. while the person using it lets their ATV idle outside. It is not a quite location; nor restful. I have stayed at many REC. GOV cabins and never had a complaint, but its sad this cabin is in this location.

Even though it says to bring your own cleaning supplies we found a broom, mop, simple green, Lysol, and other supplies there. You should bring your own paper towels. The kitchen utensils were sufficient for our needs but you may want to bring your own skillet or you’ll be stuck with a 4 inch egg pan. There is a large soup pot and some smaller ones as well. A full set of plates, bowls, and silverware for at least 4 people. There are definitely several deer mice that have lost their fear of humans that live in this cabin one of whom had a face off with our two year old. The bunks have a thin 1 inch ish foam pad that we didn’t find adequate but with a supplemental air mattress or camping pad are fine. There are two sets of bunk beds one is twin on top queen on bottom and the other is two twin beds. There is a woodpile in the back and an axe in the closet of the cabin but no hatchet (we had our own). There is a clothesline outside to hang up your wet swimming clothes and plenty of fish in the creek. The propane stove, fridge, and gas lamps work great but we never tried the oven. We ended up cleaning the public toilet as when we got there someone before us had had a very bad day and we had the means to clean it. There is no trashcan inside the cabin and with the mice I highly recommend either bringing your own metal container or we put ours in a locking plastic cargo box at night to avoid a disaster in the morning. Overall a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend.
