This cabin is a wonderful historic experience. The original guard station. Preserved for future generations. It is "kept up", as a historic cabin, by the many return visitors. And by the Forest Service. Be sure to bring matches!!! (There are none there, and most everything is powered by propane) For me, the inside of the cabin smelled strongly of propane (all of the lamps, the stove and over, and the fireplace are powered by propane). I am very sensitive to smells and the smell of propane overpowered me. Also, it is definitely out of cell phone range, for some miles. If you do stay there, the key box is on the front door, not the back door (which is the one easiest to access from the parking). Some, but not all of the windows open. When I tried to open the windows, some had screens. Others did not. Some of the windows I opened had mold in the casements. I'm also pretty allergic to molds. For a less smell sensitive, person, with fewer allergies, this would be a great rustic, historic experience. There could also be a mouse there. I'm not sure. There is a box on the kitchen table that is "mouse proof" for food. This is a Gifford Pinchot National Forest historic treasure. There was a hiking trail, called the Dry Creek trail, a short drive from the cabin. Early June, and a hike, alone in the Trapper Creek wilderness, surrounded by wildflowers, was a peak experience for me. There is also another trail not too far away, called Fall Creek Falls. Too steep for me. Very popular. I read the visitor's notebook. Evidently, in the winter, depending on the weather, many people had to carry their food and provisions over snow. An adventure! Thank you to the National Forest Service for letting me write this review.
