Had a good time. Visited Sunset and Meteor Craters. Both in thier own way are a spectacular visit. Kayak the Colorado through Horseshoe Bend. Stood on the Corner also.

We had a wonderful time enjoying nature in the retired Forest Service Cabin in the woods. It was nearly as we remembered it 20 years ago. We wrote a long & detailed review, but this website requested us to “log in” again and our beautiful review was wiped out…. So in a nutshell, all is quite good! We hope to return again some day! Bye bye for now.

We stayed 2 nights at the end of year 22 and truly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean. Hot water was great. The heater works well. Firewood was provided for free. We had a good amount of snow which made our stay even better. You should bring a snow chain if you visit the cabin during the winter season. The main road will be maintained so you may not need a snow chain. However, the access from the main road to the cabin is not maintained so if you do not have a chain that could be an issue. Internet is not available (which means that the cabin is in a quite remote location. Grand canyon is not far. We will come back later. My kids loved the entire experience that the cabin provided.

The cabin was easy to find. There was plenty of parking. The area surrounding the cabin is beautiful and was quiet for us. It was much cleaner than expected. A couple of field mice were dead in traps in the kitchen. No surprise there. There was plenty of firewood. We brought sleeping bags and just slept on top of the mattresses. Central heating was available. The shower was probably the most disappointing. The water drained very slowly so you ended up standing in a few inches of water. We spent time at the Grand Canyon and Williams. South rim visitor center is about 1 1/2 hrs drive from the cabin. Overall, great experience and we would stay there again.

The main cabin has two separate bedrooms. One with two sets of twin bunkbeds, the other has a queen size futon with one set of twin bunkbeds and a wood burning stove. The living room has one futon. With the potential of many people at the facility if the bunkhouse is also rented, there is a pit toilet a bit away from the cabins. There is a prairie dog town out in the meadow and every evening a cacophony of coyotes. Also meadow larks could be heard.

Beautiful area. It was winter with small amount of snow on ground. I expected the road to be closed but it was not. Not very clean but I anticipated that would be the case. I could make a phone call out. Difficulty sending text. Will stay again in the future.

Loved the location. It was easy to find. The drive in November (no recent rain or snow) was easy in a 4x2 truck. The cabin wasn't super clean, but we didn't expect it to be. The fridge, stove & heater all worked fine. We had no problem staying warm at all. We may stay in the future.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin, although we had to clean twice. The people prior to us left the cabin only in a semi-clean state. Other than that, it was a lovely retreat to break away from our "electronic lives". No TV, no radio, and very little cell coverage, although we did get through enough. Cabin has typical kitchen supplies, but was surprised at no microwave...not that I use one, except to reheat coffee or water. Cabin is plenty warm with space heaters and fireplace. Items we should have brought to make life a little easier: blender, an axe (they don't supply one) and a chef's knife that's actually sharp. The axe would have helped to split the large wood pieces into smaller kindling. Items we did bring to make it a bit more enjoyable: Extension cord for more outdoor lighting at night, board games, and favorite book or magazines. There are two picnic tables available, and a long stretch of driveway if you're target practicing with a bow or blowgun.

We enjoyed our stay! It was a little difficult to find. But it was beautiful scenery!

I Couldn't ask for more. The prices are affordable and you have everything you need. You do not need to spend lots of money to have a day full of activities with your family. The only thing they changed is the minimum night from one to two, and that makes it more difficult for us in our budget. Wish we could get it for only one day like before.
