The cabin was clean but needs a lot of maintenance. Plastic tarp for ceiling, doors not fitting properly and wood heating stove draft and pipe/flue needs to be either cleaned or replaced. Otherwise the cabin is comfortable and in a nice setting.

PRICE INCREASE! Going from $20 a night to $55 plus $8 fee. The good: Two unit propane light with 4 burner propane stove & oven although oven burner would not work. Portable propane lantern but needs mantles. Uses standard small camping propane fuel. Has sink that drains outside & water although water already turned off for winter on our Sept 22 stay. Site says water through September. FALSE. 2 bunk beds but no ladders if you are not physically able to raise yourself. Table with chairs. Wood stove. Some good cooking items. Shelves & storage unit. Lots of wood. Nice non ADA pit toilet with privacy screen. Fire pit with benches but no picnic table. 4 mile trail in back of cabin to Idaho border. Last Verizon signal on way to cabin was 3 bar 3G in Grant MT & 4 bar 4G about 2 miles from I-15. Bring fly traps during summer. OK size porch. Partial curtains supplied over a couple of windows but not really private. Locked gate for privacy but hunters were driving up behind the cabin. The bad: We put 3 stars as this unit is not being maintained & due to the new pricing. The pit toilet was nice & the exterior of the cabin was nicely painted. However the front door was covered with wood due to 2 windows being busted out & the window over the sink was broken as well. A journal entry was made saying they were measured at the first of September by the USFS for replacement. Hopefully that takes place. The sink needs to be replaced and over half the ceiling was gone and was covered with a blue tarp. The floor also needs to be painted or even better plywood to cover it all so sweeping is easier due to deep cracks between planks. We hope that the USFS will be using the higher fee to specifically repair this little cabin as it deserves it. While we know USFS cabins are mostly primitive this unit has fallen below the standard when compared to other units. Rent now at $20 to save but not at $55 if repairs are not done. An hour drive from I-15 has to be worth it!
