Wonderful nice historical cabin! Bring everything you need even mattress protectors and TP. The mosquitoes were BAD in the cabin, not too bad outside.

Great cabin love the views. Make sure to bring a lighter, or matches for the propane lights.

Lovely little cabin, right by the river. Note to bring supplemental heat if staying in winter. It was probably 20 degrees in the cabin when arriving. The propane heater was not strong enough to heat the whole cabin that night. By the next night it was comfortable. No curtains over the windows. Used sheets to help keep heat in.

Wonderful cabin (well preserved) and location (right next to the Yaak River and right next to graveled Upper Ford Road) and amenities (fire pit and circle of benches). However, the propane heater was inoperable due to a broken thermostat that had a hand-written note to that effect and had still not been fixed. It got below freezing both nights we stayed there and I felt sick from my second Moderna shot and just couldn't get warm or comfortable. We still had fun in between my times in bed with weakness and the chills but I asked for--and received--a refund of the pricey rental charges. A Forest Service employee who came to pull stumps in the yard told us they plan to electrify the cabin in August, which I think is a big mistake with the unreliability of electrical service. I suggested they put in a wood back-up heat source: What are winter recreationists to do to keep the cabin and themselves warm when the power goes out on a cold winter day or night otherwise? And what are parents who love the lack of electricity for getting their kids off their devices to do if the kids can just plug in at a 'remote (?)' cabin? I know I would not rent this cabin again if it were electrified.
