I found the cabin to be disgusting and clear evidence of rodents making resident claims. Every cabinet and drawer had mouse poo. Clearly there is no 'cleaning' service coming on Thursdays as listed. Many of the cabinets are empty and haven't been wiped down if ever since the building was constructed by the CCC. I wonder what the builders would say if they saw what the Forest has allowed this amazing place come to?? The bathroom hasn't been mopped for years! I had to laugh at the toilet brush as it appears to be the original one from the 40's! Really. I cleaned it with my cleaning products. The propane lanterns are the biggest topic in the log books and everyone is concerned about the propane smell along with the mantels don't fit correctly. The smell is terrible so you need to leave the door open or windows. I had read that the outdoor refrigerator wasn't working and the door was padlocked. I found the welcome binder a bit outdated and then located where is states there is a key for the refrigerator at the door. Well, with the light so dim you can't see the key! Well, it worked and you guessed it the frig was working! But that room is a mess and the outside was flooded so you have to about swim to get to your food. Things to consider: -Bring a headlamp and wear it around your neck (you'll thank me later) -Bring gloves for cleaning (everything is sticky and needs to be washed in hot water prior to using if you choose to use the cabin items) -Bring all your own silverware (don't use the cabins). First there is no running water inside other then the toilet, so how are people washing dishes. *Note: there is a water faucet outside and it works just not sure if it potable, so I boiled water to wash It's a beautiful location even in the pouring rain and it's very remote! I went solo and I felt safe but it's very remote! A few cars do coming up and turn around the drive and the trail is along the back side of the cabin so people were stopping to look.

If you want more shelter/convenience than camping, but still a back-woods/off-grid experience, this is a great choice that offers a glimpse of the history of Olympic National Forest. Nearby trails have some interpretive signs with info about the history. We also hiked to Lena Lake (drove to the trailhead, as the hike itself is about 6 mi). It's an uphill hike on an easy-to-follow route with a beautiful (&cold) lake at the end.

The Hamma Hamma cabin was amazing. We loved the cabin and it’s history. The only suggestions we have are to add more light fixtures in the kitchen and running water would be fabulous. What a great place for family to unplug and reconnect.

Amazing location and cabin. The care and attention used in the construction was striking. Enjoyed the trails right by the cabin, especially the waterfalls. My only complaints is that the previous tenants didn’t clean much. Considering the mice problem, it’s important.

This is our favorite NFS cabin, because the facilities are a little more developed than some others. We appreciate the indoor plumbing, which eliminates those late night trips in the dark to the outhouse! The only downside is, the bedrooms with the best beds can get quite cold at night. You can stay warm by sleeping on the futon in front of the heating stove, but this isn't as comfortable, and all the windows at that room means you're likely to be awakened at first light.
