Ax has no handle, Maul head falls off there is a great hatchet in the cabin. lots of mice, If there is any wind he shutters rattle Gate post is broken so opening and closing large gate is difficult. There are rags stuffed in the corners around the windows. Does not appear the windows have been washed this year. Needs maintenance.

Hells Canyon Ranger Station was the perfect weekend getaway. The 15 mi on dirt road was a little rough in spots, but nothing that my mid-sized SUV couldn’t handle. It did take us a full hour to get from the highway to the cabin, but you’re blessed with some pretty spectacular views along the way so it definitely wasn’t too bad. Make sure to bring a hatchet with you to split some of the smaller logs and to make kindling because the USFS provides a splitting maul but that can be too big when building a small fire. Also remember to bring a towel or two with you, especially if you have children or dogs (or partners) that love to play in creeks. They won’t be able to resist playing in Hells Canyon Creek that runs between the cabin and the road.

Beautiful Location! Nice little cozy cabin. Only complaint is there was very little toilet paper in the outhouse.
