This cabin is in need of repair. When I was there the wood stove pipe was broken near the top where it went into the wall. It was leaking smoke into the living space making the whole cabin smokey. One of the electric heaters was broken. The rear steps appear to have migrated down hill from my cement foundation. There was no wood in the wood shed good thing we brought our own but could not have a fire due to stove pipe. A window was broken in the living room. When we arrived there was smoldering news paper and pine needles in the wood stove. Positive items include the propane heating system working awesome. The restroom was awesome nice to have a shower and running water. The area is nice. Nice trees.

This was my second stay at the cabin. I love it. Simple, easy to have 4 people, a pet. Each time I have been, the people before left it clean, so it seems like there is a good run of caring individuals. It is a good base camp even in it's more visible location. My only complaint to the Forest Service is the way they have rigged the hot water valve for the shower. They have made it so you cannot use too much or too hot of water. This basically means a (barely) lukewarm shower. This is really ridiculous. People are up here hiking, sweating, running, skiing, with kids and pets. Fishing with worms. STILL IN A PANDEMIC, YO. After two days that gets pretty unsanitary. People need showers and baths. Don't skimp on that hot water in the shower only (all the other faucets in the house have damn hot water, ongoing) - and I'm pretty sure an inspection would show that "rigged" faucet job not up to any code. Either OFFER hot water or DON'T. But don't represent that you have it and then make it hard for people to even rinse off in a shower, literally across is he sink with 130 degree water. Silly!

Would have liked it more if the power hadn't gone out and then when my husband travelled to where there was cell service he was told "It does that, it should be back soon, doesn't usually last more than a couple of hours." Not exactly helpful. Other than that our trip was quiet and just what our family needed to unplug. The kitchen was well stocked although a few extra forks (there were only four) would come in handy.
