Great cabin. We enjoyed our time there despite initial disappointment of it being just a few feet off a paved road. We are used to the FS cabins being more remote, but it was quiet and we only had a one person stop. Nice to have the Yaak River right there. We enjoyed being able to hear it and see it, just wish there was better access to it. Mattresses are firm - really need box springs to fit the frames - so, typical of these cabins. You might want to bring an air pad and/or your own cot. The fridge and stove worked great in the huge kitchen. It's very well stocked and having an indoor sink with a working drain was an unexpected delight. The propane lanterns all worked well. Mosquitos were present but not horrible. I was more concerned at the wasp next on the outhouse roof overhang as some of my party are highly allergic. We were impressed with how clean the cabin was upon arrival.

Thermostat still doesn't work after 2 years. No replacement mantels so bring some. Perfect other than that.

The Yaak is such a beautiful area & the continental weather patterns certainly do collide here, hence the fabulous old growth trees & rich vegetation. So many lakes, trails, backroads to explore. The cabin was clean & cozy. The oven does work, you just have to follow the instructions & make sure it lights properly, it may take a couple of attempts. We did have a moose (appx 2 yrs) walk down the river about dusk while we were sitting by the fire & deer came into the yard every day. The beds aren't bad but the futons could use some new cushions. Make sure to bring your own TP as it was not provided. Big thanks to the Forest Service for taking such good care of the place & sharing it with the public. So R E L A X I N G being off the grid. We'll def be back.

We enjoyed our time at upper ford cabin. Very comfortable, and the instant access to the beautiful country which surrounds it makes for one of the very most desirable destinations, check it out!

The cabin & surroundings were beautiful! The river was great to have it so close. Lots of birds & water fowl. Pretty cool that an Engleman spruce was harvested there for the capital Christmas tree.

We love the upper ford cabin! We visited twice this year both time with lots of kids! such a kid freind cabin with plenty of gas area to play outside and lists of sleeping arrangements. There us a waterfall with a very short walk within a couple of miles that we love to swim in during the summer.

This is a very nice cabin in a beautiful location. All propane at this time but appears it will have electricity soon. All appliances worked. The only complaint I have is whoever assembled the beds did it improperly so you feel like you are in a crib and have to climb over a rail. My wife was upset because someone had not picked up their dogs poop in the yard and she stepped in it on her way to the toilet. Come on people, pick up after your dogs!

Great cabin in a peaceful location. Pretty standard compared to others. If you like a lot of nighttime lighting, bring some.
