Awesome position in Cave Creek Canyon. Bunkhouse was clean and as expected for a historic property, but the toilet didn’t flush and we used the portopotty at the VIC next door. It was tough to get cell service to call in the repair during business hours with our hiking plans, so we chose to avoid using it and call in the repair after. When i did call it in, the USFS manager was very responsive. Inconvenient for the price, though.

I was planning on staying two nights at the bunkhouse and hiking for three days. Fortunately I had a very nice hike on the first day before going to the bunkhouse. I was there for about 3 hours before I packed up all my belongings and drove home. At first glance the place is adequate and the area is very scenic. But there was a cockroach in the bathroom sink and silverfish in the kitchen sink. After seeing a mouse running around in the cabinet under the kitchen sink, I had enough. If you expect people to pay to stay there, you need to make sure it is clean; not leaving it to the guests to clean it up. I was also confused about the lock on the door. You need a code to open the door but it only seemed to work once. The notebook had no specific instructions about the lock, it only said "lock the door when you leave". Great place to hike as there has been extensive trail maintenance.
