An awesome get away with lots of amenities. The cabin is very clean, well maintained and spacious. Having electric and heat is a great bonus. There’s a water pump up the hill and a container provided. It sometimes takes a little perseverance to make the water flow, but it does work! No WiFi and cell service is very minimal but we like it that way! The swan lake day use area nearby is a great place to spend the day swimming or paddle boarding, but remember to bring cash or pay online in advance (at recreation.gov). There are several other lakes along the road as well that are worth exploring if you like to kayak or paddle board. Don’t forget a flashlight to get to the toilet at night, and lots of insect repellant! We’ve been here a few times now and will definitely return!

Our family loves coming here year after year. The cabin is always clean, close to wildlife viewing area and swan lake and feels secluded even though you are right next to the road. Thanks for such a wonderful and updated cabin, forestry service!

Very cool cabin. It's equipped better than a lot of others. Many modern touches. It is quite close to the highway, so there's a bit of noise. And we did have people just drive in curiously while we were there. Kids had fun catching snakes.

The place was clean and comfortable with all of the cooking gadgets, a person needs, easy heat source and peaceful surroundings! I was able to check out Bond Creek Trail and the wildlife refuge; each were super easy walking distance from the cabin! There was one hiccup, the door lock mechanism busted, but the problem was remedied shortly after I called the ranger station. The guys that came to do the repair were super courteous too. I look forward to staying here again!!
