The cabin was clean and adorable. There was a small cooking stove and some pots and pans. Had a nice space for a fire. Wonderful get away for our family. The last quarter mile of driveway was questionable for our minivan, would of had to walk it if there had been rain.

Hands down one of the best weekends with my mom and friends.

The only reason I can't rate 5 stars is because the cabin reeked of cigarettes so badly that we couldn't even stay in the cabin. We aired it out for entire 3 days that we were there so at least it smelled better for the next visitors. The wood bin in the cabin was almost completely empty, so I filled it up for the next visitor. There are no signs that say "No Smoking", I highly recommend that the FS puts signs up in the cabin. Remember your actions during your visit impacts the experience of others even after you leave. Other than that the location is fantastic, and it's great to have a private camping spot behind a fenced gate. I highly recommend this place.

Had a wonderful stay the week of Thanksgiving.  The mouse problem from the last time has been fixed.  I had two mouse traps set inside for five days that were never sprung.  It looks like a new layer of cement had been placed around the base of the cabin exterior to keep out mice.  It snowed a lot one day during our stay, and got down to 11 degrees two mornings, but the potbelly stove kept us toasty warm.  It helps to bring along a long handled wood splitter to size the firewood small enough to fit into the stove.  Looking forward to my next stay at the cabin in 2021 if I can get reservations. . .

We had an awesome time at Bassam Cabin! Loved the seclusion of the place. The cabin is well maintained and such a lovely getaway. I was there with my 2 small kiddos. We had a bit of snow prior to arrival so I was grateful for AWD and snow tires. Also, it was necessary to keep the wood stove going all night since the temps dropped down into the single digits. The directions to get there are not great so best (and GPS doesn't work) so best to have a map.
