Had a wonderful time, cabin and area around the cabin is a great place to spend time. Use the road that goes through Radersburg and not Indian Creek road especially if pulling 4 horse trailers.

Even with almost constant rain we really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Managed to hike on some of the trails that start near the cabin. We've already reserved the cabin for next month in the hopes that we can see the Crow Creek Falls which look amazing in the pics!

This cabin was amazing, I will camp here again. The silence was amazing, I haven't slept that well in AGES. We did not get to go on any trails due to how hard it rained two of the days we were at the cabin, however, we played Uno inside with the wood stove going which was very enjoyable. Don't follow any map apps the last about two miles to the cabin, you will be told to drive into trees, or off the road, into tree tops. We did experience one mouse, but that was our fault for leaving food accessible the first night, no night visitor the second night of our stay. There is no cellphone service (honestly loved that part), so plan accordingly.

Nice cabin! We go there regularly. We went here twice this past spring. The 1st time the mouse situation was under control. The 2nd time somebody had (literally) left some cheese packets behind, all chewed and eaten. I don't get folks' carelessness. But we trapped a couple and all was good again.

Road closed until May 15, so we had to hike in about 3.5 miles. We knew this, so we packed light. Makes the cabin feel more secluded which we like. Cabin was clean but there was visible signs of mice which is to be expected. The propane lantern is broken, so keep that in mind when packing light sources. Overall great experience, beautiful area and would definitely come back.

The cabin was perfect! The road to get to it was pretty rough, and driving something with good clearance is fairly important. The outhouse had just been redone and was super clean. We brought all the camping equipment we would need, but the cabin did have an assortment of items available too (skillets, a few roasting sticks, some seasonings, and lots of other random stuff). There was also an a cot in addition to the 6 bunk beds. The top bunks do not have railings, and there are no ladders to get up to them. We did see one black bear about a mile from the cabin, so bring your bear spray for hikes. Overall, it’s a great place to have a fun family weekend!

Great cabin and location. Big stash of high quality firewood; the stove gets the place hot after an hour or so. I rode a fat bike in, which made for enjoyable if challenging riding. For folks coming in during the winter; driving in to around the FS boundary is reliable, as the road isn't steep and is plowed most of the way. Beyond that ruts and ice are often an issue, I wouldn't go up that final switchback to the gate without 4x4 and chains.

Such a fun weekend! A great getaway, into the wilderness. Fun snowshoe in, and a cozy time playing games. We will be back!

The good: Nice 3 room cabin. The far left room is locked and separate from the rest of the cabin for use the the USFS. The center room is the kitchen and dining area. An interior doorway connects you to the far right room which is the bedroom. All 3 rooms have their own outside entry and steps. Mostly easy drive weather permitting in a car. There are a couple of areas that a car may get stuck. Make sure to bring some bags of lava rock or similar so you can place those closed bags in the gullies to get through. Road gets rough for cars about 3.4 miles from cabin. Two burner camping propane stove provided but you need to bring standard camping propane canisters. 2 camping propane lights are also provided. A wood heater is in the kitchen. Nice dining table with 4 backed chairs. Curtains on windows except behind the wood heater. There are 3 bunk beds so 6 beds are available with thick mattresses. Nice ADA vault pit toilet. A few games and puzzles. Great view. Like that the top of the door was padded between the bedroom and kitchen in case you hit your head. Fire pit. Lots of wood. Locked gate for privacy. Horse corral provided with water container. Nice sink area with counter that drains outside although no water is supplied. Creek a short distance away but not recommended for drinking. The bad: Lots of expired canned food left in pantry. You may get stuck in a car when driving there via the Townsend Ranger District instructions. If you do not have good clothing and sleeping bags in winter you will most likely end up bringing the mattresses into the kitchen to sleep on the floor.
