This was my first visit. We use to stay and a private cabin for rent but it's no longer for rent. Rangers Residence it totally different then what we were use to. My son and granddaughter meet me there and we loved having a campfire. The dogs love the yard. In fact they got me up at 4:am to get me up to play. We enjoyed the spacious cabin. I brought a TV and a DVD player. We love walking and exploring the area. We enjoyed our trip so much that I came back numerous times. It became a 2nd home to us.

Absolutely loved the location and this cabin! It was fun to explore the grounds and find a little apple tree! Helen the turkey was very friendly..a BIG thank you to Ranger Jackie! The crazy trash lady from Phoenix really appreciates you 😉

Overall is a nice cabin getaway at a fair cost. Was absolutely worth it and beautiful scenery. Good location on the mountain, but you can hear quite a bit of traffic (not 100% secluded for anyone wanting a more isolated experience). Going up to the Sky Center Observatory for sunset was just breathtaking. Also great to wake up every morning and be surrounded by deer. Was expecting bare bones but ended up having lots of creature comforts. Bed was super comfy. Nice to actually have Wifi too (maybe didn’t read that before reserving). Cons: Spent a lot of time cleaning bathroom- it wasn’t nasty but it definitely hadn’t had a real scrubbing in a while. Only legitimate issue was previous folks left their trash behind and we had to haul it off… we already had a pretty loaded car with food, bedding, clothes, baby necessities, and gear so wasn’t great to pack the car even tighter and go home with extra. Knowing we had to haul off someone else’s trash when leaving ruined the experience for my wife.
