cool little cabin, a bit dusty and possible propane leak but fun area to explore.

I love this cabin more than words can express and have stayed here several times in the past 2 years. Mice have always been a problem here but nothing I couldn't handle but that has definitely changed since my last visit. Apart from the usual nocturnal noises and droppings everywhere this time one proceeded to run over me in bed as I was about to fall asleep and another decided he wanted to hitch a ride home with me as I noticed when driving down the highway at 55 mph he popped his head up between the hood and the windshield!!

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 I found the welcome binder a bit outdated and then located where is states there is a key for the refrigerator at the door.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.

Cabin was cozy as ever. Due to a slick slushy driveway we parked at the bottom and walked up with all our gear. Little did we expect our weekend to turn into a blizzard lock down! We went from no snow to 2+ feet overnight! It was beautiful but we were also stuck. Thankful for the heat and amenities!

The cabin rental is blocked on Thursdays for “cleaning” …… we arrived on Friday and the cabin had not been cleaned. The gate at the end of the drive was left open, so there were cars parked by the cabin late into the evening, so what should have been a quiet evening was disrupted. Property is not managed well, unfortunately.
