What a great little cabin! We enjoyed our stay with access to so much great hiking! The only thing I can think to complain about was ants in the kitchen but nothing a few ant traps wouldn't fix. We will definitely be back!

It's exactly what you'd expect a ranger cabin to be, but perhaps cleaner and more comfortable. For the price, what you get is very good. There were two things that might be bothersome: 1.) Only sheer curtains in the living room and none in the kitchen, 2.) It's not very secluded-- RV park across the street and Boy Scouts of America camp across the other way. The great part is access to trails, the smell of pine forest, the sound of the wind in the trees, the price, and the close proximity of Summerhaven and other Mt Lemmon attractions. I found it a great value for the money.

Excellent cabin! Private, good clear access & signage, appreciated having a bed, a shower, kitchen setup. Rustic, peaceful. There was still snow in late March but it was refreshing as it was 95F at Saguaro National Park the next day. A pretty drive up from Tucson!

The email confirmation had instructions for retrieving the key from a lock box on the back door. Once we arrived and figured out where to park (the driveway was not plowed), I went to get the key to unlock the cabin. There was a handwritten note taped to the door. It said that the front door was unlocked and that the key had been left on the table inside. Neither of the doors were unlocked and I could see through the window that there was no key on the table. I opened the lockbox just to be sure. Nothing, it was empty. There was a phone number posted to call for maintenance and emergencies but our phone got no service. I had to drive a few miles down the mountain in order to call (even then I could only text). I got a hold of the maintenance guy and he said that he could come up and let us in by 7pm. Check in was 2pm. He was hours away in Green Valley. We packed the kids back in the van and went home. Although the I never made it inside, the property seemed nice. Just be aware that if you rent this cabin you might not ever get inside and you will have wasted a lot of time, energy, and gas money just to turn around and go home.
