We had an excellent time and I highly recommend the Palisades Trail close by. It's designated as Moderate, but we found it pretty easy. The only minor* issue about the cabin was that the door frame was broken out where the keycode lock engages, so there was no way to really lock the cabin. Someone tried using a chair to block the door, but it easily slid out of the way...and there was a note on the door to retrieve the key for other door at the Visitor's Center, but no need because you (and anyone) could easily get in/out the door that had the keycode lock). Actually, that was luckily so, given the Visitor's Center closed before we arrived. I called this a minor issue because I wasn't really concerned that anyone would be up on Mt Lemmon, picking that particular cabin, for any nefarious deeds. Lastly, no cell service, but WiFi was accessible (mainly in living room area).

Great base for hiking and birdwatching. The cabin is comfortable and well-furnished.
