I planned a stay at the cabin 2 mons in advance for Xmas with the family. The day of, we drove 2 hrs to the cabin to only then find out the park was closed for winter with no warning ahead of time. It ruined xmas and the whole day for us. Communication would of been great to know.

Can you say “hantavirus”! Mouse poop everywhere (on the mattresses, windowsills, in sink, on counters). Mice in the bench. Brown sticky stuff in fridge with long brown hair stuck to it. Gross shower. Bug cementaries in window sills. Everything was really dirty. We didn’t even stay 30 minutes. It was cleaner outside. Barf-a-roni.

Note was left by past occupant that wood burning stove would fill the house with smoke if lit. Turned on electric heaters that were provided and circuit tripped. No access to panel to reset.

Not well maintained. Hot water heaters both did not work. Wood stove was removed and locked in the wood storage bin outside. The cabin smelled of soot and smoke, I think due to the chimney exhaust being left open.

The place needs some major TLC! It's drab, dingy and dirty. Beds (mattresses) are in terrible shape. You're better off staying in a camp sight!

Was not aware that a code was needed that was sent thru email. Needless to say, we hiked in from a closed gate with our belongings in tow, only to find out it was closed. We hiked back to the car and left. Ended up camping on a Forest Road nearby. Never bothered to call since we didn’t want to hike back again. It was unfortunate that in our conversation about the cabin that a code should be expected in the email.

Furniture that was about to fall apart. Dirty floor. Crock prints on the wall. Mold on ceiling in kitchen. Rocking chairs on porch coming apart. Fridge did not work. Bunk bed posts splitting apart. Futon/bed was the most uncomfortable floor might have been better.

The distance from the parking area to the cabin is inconvenient. As we hiked uphill to the cabin site we passed two sets of gates and a parking lot that could’ve allowed closer parking of our vehicle. Understanding that it’s not maintained during the off season, we expected basic immediate comfort. My family spent the first hour sweeping floors, cleaning door handles and kitchen area. And lastly, the futon provided in the living room area was “stained” by previous guests with gross body fluids. We couldn’t even sit on it, let alone sleep on it. My suggestion would be, put a combo lock or open the first set of gates so guests can park at the “fishing” parking lot. And either raise the cost five bucks or so to at least do a weekly cleaning of the place. The building itself is beautiful and has a lot of potential, but it’s lack of maintenance is a shame. My understanding is the cabin was renovated about a decade ago. Wish we had cabins like this in my neck of the woods.
