I love this cabin. Very peaceful... quiet... simple... 10 minutes to the general store or restaurant... easy hiking all around you... I'm happy to see other visitors making small improvements. A Yamaha bookshelf music system. A cutting board. 2 decent kitchen knives. A tub drain plug. A new tablecloth. Recently someone put some badly needed futon covers, NICE JOB. Someone recently put a small folding kitchen table, excellent! If you are a repeat visitor, take note of what's missing. No junk, please! Example: toss out the old hand soap and leave a new one. Donate your roll of aluminum foil or trash bags, if there are none. Right now it could really use a better toaster oven (small not big). No one wants your food but I think everyone appreciates an unopened soda pop in the fridge, am I right? A TP-Link extender (on an outlet in the cabin) grabs wi-fi from the visitor center so the cabin gets 5 bars. But recently the VC wi-fi was no longer running. I tweaked the repeater to grab a different signal. If not working again, log into the extender to look for other nearby wi-fi, like this: Choose the TP_Link_extender wifi, then go to www.tplinkrepeater.net (written on the back) and use pw MtLemmon123. Or reset it with a paper clip and log in. See what nearby signals it offers. Maybe something, maybe nothing. Ya takes yer chances. Some people clean well, others don't. The floor is often not good. Strongly recommend to bring your robot vacuum (Roomba, shark, etc) and run it while you're out hiking. Last time I dumped 8 vacuum loads of pet hair, dirt, pine needles. I think the USFS needs to consider new fence planks. Many of them are barely hanging on.

Cabin was nice and clean and perfect for us and our 2 grandchildren. The flock of Turkeys was the highlight!

The location was great, close to summerhaven and ski valley and right off the main road. The Mt Bigelow trail is also right across the street. We watched a sunset at Windy Point and ate at Beyond Bread in the Mt Lemmon lodge. Planned on the Iron Door, but it is closed Tues and Wed. The kitchen had everything we needed and the futons were actually pretty comfortable for sleeping on. We saw many birds and wild turkeys. The fire pit was also a nice perk. Just don’t forget your TP and paper towels. There is wifi and electricity for charging devices.

Nice 1 br cabin with good heat and water. I would stay again. The Wi-Fi helped me- TMobile isn’t working well at the cabin. It is close to the visitors center which was closed when I was there but still many were playing in the snow around the cabin when I arrived. It was quiet at night at the end of Jan. Because the campgrounds are all empty or closed.
