Put the wood burning stove back in. The heat source at the location currently is not sufficient. Additionally, when we arrived, most of the outlets would not work to plug in the electric heaters. We assume that previous guests tripped the breaker dude to the excessive amount of electric heaters needed to stay warm without the wood stove. We found it ironic that the wood stove was removed to “preserve the historic building,” when on the other side of the mountain, the browse station is in complete shambles.

We love the location. The cabin is very hit and miss. The beds are terrible, so we usually bring Cots to sleep on. The biggest issue with the cabin is it is very poorly maintained. The water heater has literally been out for at least two seasons, I don't understand why they don't simply replace it. The place is dirty. Guests are supposed to clean at the end of their stay. Sometimes it's cleanish when you arrive, sometimes you have to clean before you can settle in. But it really needs a deep cleaning. This last trip was an adventure. We were making breakfast when suddenly thousands of ants started coming out of the electrical outlets above the kitchen counter. We drove to St. George to buy raid, and they didn't return for the rest of our trip, but I suspect there is a colony living in the wall. There's also mice, but that's to be expected in the woods. Both of the screen doors are in need of repair. The area is awesome though. And even though it isn't the greatest building, we'll continue to come here and stay in the cabin. It's pretty close to us and the only cabin in the recreation area, so that is with a ⭐.

I rented this cabin during peak season, when the water was supposed to be on and the indoor restroom with shower open and operational. However, the indoor restroom was locked with a padlock, therefore it was not useable. The water was on in the cabin, the kitchen sink was operational. I have no idea why they would keep the bathroom locked. The kitchen table is also broken, and poorly mended. There was one kitchen chair. In past years there have always been four chairs. There were a few minor issues with doors and windows not operating well or closing properly. It seems that whomever is responsible for maintenance this year isn't doing well.

The cabin comes stock with some pots, pans, and silverware. Additionally there is 3 different beds, 2 of those are the bottom and top of the bunk bed and then the other is the fold out couch. All of the beds including the bunk beds can comfortably fit 2 people.

The futon was broken. There is no one you can call or contact to inform so that they can repair it for the next guest. Luckily we had brought a cot just in case, and were able to use that for the individual that was going to sleep on the futon. The mattresses on the bunk beds were the worst of any lodging I have ever experienced. You could feel every single coil in the mattress. There is supposed to be wood provided for heating through the month of May. There was only two pieces of wood in the box when we arrived. The refrigerator makes a very loud noise when it is running, which isn't awesome when trying to sleep. However, the stay wasn't all bad. The cabin was fairly clean. It has an amazing view, and good proximity to the reservoir which is stocked with 8"-10" rainbow trout. There is a decent paved hiking trail right across the street. The stove works well, and there is a microwave available. There is a Murphy table in the kitchen, with four plastic chairs, although one of the chairs is duck-taped together. There are plenty of dishes and a pot and pan available. Although we brought cast iron and a teapot. The cabin was adequately sized for our family of four. It would be quite tight with six people.
