The Cabin was tons of fun for our small family! As noted there is no power. Everything is run by propane, including the lights and fridge/freezer. Two complaints we ended up having were that every mantle was broken on the gas lights, needing replacement before we could use them. We did end up having the mantles with us. Even with below 30 nights, there were several wasps we woke up to every morning inside the cabin. We saw maybe two other people our whole stay there! We were surprised with how well furnished the kitchen was, and how warm the wood stove kept the cabin. Looking forward to our next stay!

Enjoyed the cabin, location and easy access to the river. Only concern would be the public toilet on the property. Many visitors used up all the toliet paper placed by US Forest Ranger but used the supply I had placed in it to replace empties. Toilet was full due to visitor use and needed pumping. Talked with Ranger concerning this. Other then that it was a lot of fun for a reasonable price. I have rented cabins from USFS for last nine years throughout Utah and Wyoming. Plan on more in future.

Neat little cabin. We were there when all the adjacent campsites were being refurbished and thus closed. I can see this a very VERY busy area when open. Also because the area was closed to the public the fishing was fantastic! The only down side was the horrific infestation of flies. Because the area was closed the cow herds in this allotment were feasting in the riparian areas and all around the cabin and there was cow shit everywhere. The associated flies were like a biblical plague. This is also the most expensive of the several dozen guard stations we've stayed at. We encountered several Forest Service employees and they were all very professional and friendly. If there had been water this would be a five star place.

Nice night stay. Rented late in the fall with quite a bit of snow falling. Sat by the fire and played cards all evening.
