The cabin is a nice size. The queen sized bed was very comfortable. The heat came on quickly and the house warmed up quickly. I didn't notice traffic noise. Although it was only one bar, we seemed to have wi-fi most of the time. The phone was not quite as reliable. I don't think the cabin was well inspected as there was a spill on the bottom shelf of the fridge and dirty clothes hanging on a hook on the back of bathroom door. We lived very lightly. A Swifter with the wet jet would have been adequate to clean the floors for us but the fluid for the Swifter was empty. The cabin was equipped with broom, shop vacuum, etc. Be aware that you are in the mountains and may need to acclimate to the altitude. We did. We enjoyed our stay and slept really well. We will return.

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.
