I deeply value that when smoke made access to the outdoors impossible a refund was promptly forthcoming. Thank you! Thank you!

I have been going to Forest Glen since 1982. Some family members have been going much longer. We are a deer hunting family. Every year camping was an amazing get together at Forest Glen. I'm saddened for the destruction of the area, by the fires. I'm saddened that the forest service has done very little to clean up the camping areas. Scott's flat is a disaster and ugly. Hells gate campground is tree less, with no shade. Forest Glen campground fared a little better. But, I love the area, with so many good memories. And the choice to stay at the cabin was perfect this time around. The cabin has everything you need to be comfortable, shower, refrigerator, pots and pans, heater, and AC. Just to name a few. The river trail is beautiful, once you get past the burn scars. Nice easy day hike.

This site is wonderful. Expect cooler weather. We had snow at this site in May. Marble caves hike is exciting although the trail is not particularly well maintained after the burn with many windfalls in places and a few washouts. The Lilac is beautiful like always.

Great little cabin in a beautiful location. No cell service there or anywhere near it for us. We went during a heatwave where it hit 90 during the day but then dropped to 40 at night. There's AC units upstairs, but we never needed them. Tucked into the trees it stayed cool all day. Portable heaters kept the rooms warm at night and in the chilly mornings. The futon downstairs was very comfortable, and the beds upstairs seemed new and were also very comfortable. The kitchen was clean and well stocked, it was easy to make meals. There's great hiking trails nearby, but just be aware that a lot of forest has been burned in recent years. There's maps and guides in the cabin that are useful for finding a trail. The cabin is 40 minutes from a grocery store, so stock up on your way in. The cabin is next to a well used two lane road through the national forest, so you should expect to see and hear cars on occasion. Across that busy road is a road to a swimming hole and beach. The river was still ice cold in October but it was a nice place to relax. We'll be coming back.

This is a cute cabin. I love the river noise. The picturesque Trinity river is so rejuvenating.
