Terrible experience. This cabin is in a gorgeous location but very poorly managed. I called the person in charge of this cabin before I went and despite asking, “Is there anything else I should Know?” I was not told any of the following. The road going in is long and really not well suited for a regular passenger car but it is passable just VERY slow going. The cabin itself is a disappointment. It really doesn’t deserve to be treated like an abandoned structure. The stove, oven and refrigerator were non operational. There were instructions for lighting the pilots on the oven and stove but I don’t travel with the required screw driver. There were no instructions for the refrigerator and we needed it to store insulin for a child. Forest service does not provide wood for heat although they don’t tell you to bring your own. Most forests specifically tell you NOT to bring your own to avoid spreading pests. There are no functioning smoke detectors. There are no shovels to help extinguish a campfire or assist if a fire should get away. The only outhouse is up a hill and it is reached by a very narrow trail. Nothing about this location is ADA compliant and because of its historic nature it’s not required to be but they also don’t tell you that. It was dirty upon arrival and just generally gross. Also LOTS of ticks. Came home early and called forest service to report the issues. Doubt anything will be done.
