We had a great stay at Radeke, but if you come in the winter, BE PREPARED FOR THE COLD! When we arrived at 11 pm on Friday, it was -22 degrees outside (not windchill). Inside the cabin it was 20 degrees and unfortunately the wood burning stove is dramatically undersized for the cabin. It took us 2 hours and a lot of wood to get the inside up to 40 degrees in the main room. Forget sleeping on the bunks in the winter because they are so far from the stove. I would highly recommend a 0-20 degree sleeping bag and plenty of layers if it's supposed to be cold. It's a very quaint cabin and a really fun, rustic stay. However, I think the Forest Service should raise the rates to fund a newer, more efficient stove to heat the room in the winter. A lot of the heat seems lost up the flue and the inside just never seems to heat up.

The Radeke Resort was wonderful, accommodations were superb, the Spa was the best, and the couples massage outstanding! I've been there a dozen times

Stayed during winter. This prime hiking area is breathtakingly beautiful. The large cabin itself seems neglected. The small holes in the back roof may be where the rodents enter that some guests complain of. You must keep all food in a closed container but that is to be expected for a rustic experience. There is however a difference between rustic and dilapidated. The cabin is in disrepair. Several glass windows are broken and taped up with duct tape. The doors are not much better. Besides the provided wood, the cabin is not serviced by the forest service during the winter and it was extremely dirty. It is definitely not cleaned by every guest as requested. The furniture in the living room is disgusting but your dog may appreciate that. The cabin sits less then 100 ft off of the KANCAMAGUS. It was peaceful during the winter. It must be terribly noisy during the summer high traffic.
