We have been coming to Horse Prairie for 11 years now. It has served us well as a real 'out-of-the-way' place to connect with each other and explore. We did not mind when the nightly rental fee tripled a few years ago with some new amenities (12v lights replaced propane ones, new coat of poly on the floor, new stove), but the past couple of years the attention to the cabin by the forest/district has really fallen off. The volume of mouse droppings and the stench of decaying mice might be enough to have us looking elsewhere after this visit. I 100% realize this might be a product of the drastic cuts to the workforce, but it is just becoming untenable.

dusty , a bit better cleaning this time ,road to cabin is rutted but my car got in ok . lots of bugs ,bought fly strips and the outhouse was much better after that ,smoke was buring my eyes and was hot in the cabin .wind was blowing good . mouse was in the trash can ,left it outside ,after that he stayed outside and i left a flashlight on in the kitchen . bed mats were hard, used pillows to lay on ,will bring cots next time .banack bench dirt road down there off the hwy is short cut to banack ghost town 13 miles or so passes by a ranch , roads ok for cars if its not raining bring light sources, propane lights broken .

BEWARE! FS doesn't stock the woodpile. We enjoyed our stay for one night and two days at this cabin. It was very clean and no sign of rodents, despite reportings of such in the log book. Only 1.4 mile ski into this sweet cabin. The landscape is beautiful! We had high winds when we xc skied in, pulling sleds behind us. I had called the ranger station ahead of time to learn about road conditions. Fortunately, I asked about wood also. The FS person told me that the wood was low and we'd need to bring our own. (WHAT? I've never experienced this in all of my cabin rentals). We brought our own firewood, but because of cold and high winds, we burned thru it and left a day early.
