The cabin near Redfish Lake is charming. Only one bunk bed so best fit is for two to three people. Nice adventure skiing nearby.

Decent cabin but they’re some huge noisy thing living behind the shower tub and it’s LOUD. Also it’s fairly hard to get warm when temps go down to 0’.

It is unfortunate that the Sawtooth Ranger District has such a low priority for making the cabin experience remarkable because it has the potential for that. On the plus side most of the guests who stay there love the cabin and do a great job in taking care of it. The current road construction project, part of which is directly in front of the cabin, results in a hike from the trailhead parking lot. That information is not given to guests until AFTER the reservation is made. The lodge is currently closed so there is no good reason not to park at the lodge which cuts the walk in by one half. Of course, that won't matter after it snows and the road is closed. Be aware that only the two wall heaters in the living room are functional and they can barely keep the cabin warm. All in all Redfish Lake in the off season has its own magic and this cabin makes that possible.

There is a lot of road construction taking place near the Visitors Center and the heavy equipment is making a lot of noise including the constant backup beeping sounds. This construction is planned to continue until winter of 2024, thus it is probably best to skip this cabin until 2025.

we had a great time here. This was our second visit to the cabin. What a contrast from summer time activities at Redfish. It was quiet, beautiful and the stars at night were just amazing. this is a electricity cabin only so you need to haul in water or melt snow, we did both and used the snow melt for dishwashing and cleaning. What else can I say, reserve now and go have a great time. Oh, and we nordic skied on the lake! Surreal.
