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.
