Need replacement mantels for gas lights. If possible, leave some at the cabin. Need light above the sink.

It is a lovely cabin and well stocked with essential kitchen stuff. The gas stove worked fine, but the gas fireplace didn't work and the mantels in the lights, well, the gas smell was just horribly overpowering so we used our headlamps. We want to go back in October but it is just too cold without any heat. We're seniors and the best of our camping days are done. There are a lot of games and interesting historical books. The situation with the gas made me nervous tho. The refrigerator is ancient and we didn't even try to use it, we just brought in our cooler. Supposedly there is a mouse problem but we never saw any. All in all this cabin is a hidden treasure with a flushing toilet,but no potable water. The gas situation....I'm just not sure that issue is safe. It needs addressing.

I really liked this cabin despite some of difficulties with me accidentally turning the heat off and having to figure out how to restart it. Also, people need to be respectful of the rules as I spent at least an hour or so cleaning up dog hair off several areas. Pets are not allowed and this is on the information everywhere.

The place was cute and decently maintained. There were a number of mice and we saw two running around. The place is closed once a week for cleaning. But it is clear the cleaning is not being done. We were there the day after cleaning was supposed to happen. There was a clogged sink drain with food waste. We swept the floors and collected to dust bins of hair, dog hair, dust, food scraps and mice droppings. The door window screen is torn. The stove cooktop is greasy and could use a good cleaning. There were good scraps left on the counters. All the cast iron skillets, except one, were in bad shape and needed cleaning. The propane lighting mantels over the kitchen table were not fitted well and leaking not burning all the propane and leaving the cabin with smell of propane. The light over the stove had no glass covering and didnt burn cleanly. The back bedroom mantel makes a popping sound when it burns. 2 of the three carbon and fire dectors were missing batteries and the fire alarm in the hallway was missing. The gate at the bottom doesnt have a lock on it so visitors show up and makes it uncomfortable when people drive in at night. The fridge and freezer need cleaning a thawing. This place is nice and has been nice but it is going the way of another cabin over in Naches where it used to be really nice but slowly failing to maintain has resulted in lots of little things building up. Its fine but could be a lot better.

The cabin itself is beautifully restored and outfitted with everything you need to stay cozy. Unfortunately, it was clear that previous guests had disrespected this wonderful public resource by not cleaning up after themselves, as the Forest Service requests everyone do, since there is no clean-up crew coming between guests. It was also clear by the volume of pet hair present that people had been bringing their pets, which is unfortunate for other guests with allergies. Even though I loved the cabin, I likely won't stay here again because the culture of users seems to disregard the needs and experience of fellow users.
