The cabin was modern as other ones we had previously rented but it didn't have electricity but running hot water. The cabin host is just next to the cabin so you have always someone next to it and it is located on the street so you really hear the cars going by. We couldn't find any good trail seems people used them for dirty bikes so they are very dusty . The little river that crosses it is charming . I would say this is the only benefit. I wouldn't rent it again.

Pros: whole cabin to yourself. Full-on kitchen and bathroom. Running water, flush toilet, hot shower, stove/oven, fridge. A couch to lounge on. The bed is comfortable. Ample parking. Camp host resource if you need it. Creek nearby that you can hear with the windows open. There are times of absolute serene and bliss; just nature and the creek) One of the few forest service cabins that allows pets, Cons: it’s right next to the road, so not terribly private. The camp host is basically your neighbor. Camp host may have a generator that drowns out the creek. No heat, so even if the high will be 80, prepare for the overnight and mornings with cold weather clothes and heavy blankets. If it’s hot out, you’ll have the windows open, but then you are also hearing every vehicle that goes by. All the toys (motorcycles, atv’s, dune buggies) are quite loud. Large black ants roam the floors and walls. We didn’t bother them, they didn’t bother us. Voluminous amounts of Mouse droppings in many of the cabinets and drawers. Suggest you pre-wash any of the supplied dishes if you are going to use them. The quaint gas lighting throughout the cabin has been mostly dismantled ; the staff has provided battery operated led lanterns. Not quite the same “vibe.” One of the requirements of the stay is that you clean up before you leave. A note on the wall tells of locations of cleaning supplies. But those locations are all empty. The only thing I can find is a broom. Aside from the bed, every piece of furniture is either broken or about to break. Given all of the above, I’m still glad we came here for the weekend. All the forest service cabins have a beyond rustic slant to them. I know what we are getting when we reserve one. It’s not a b&b, it’s not a hotel, it IS a step up from camping, but these buildings are OLD and their upkeep is kept to a minimum to allow them to be accessible to the general public for a not-exorbitant price. I get it.

The cabin itself is very nice and clean. A small few things to be aware of: There is one decent bed and a hide-a-bed that is not great. The fridge can run really cold and will freeze food if not set properly. There was a mouse in the cabin who will gladly eat through food that is left out. The cabin is sort of on the road as opposed to on the river, and at the moment, the camp host is set up between the cabin and the river, so it's not a particularly private location, especially as they ran their generator for most of the afternoon and evening.
