Cute little cabin set in an astonishingly beautiful meadow. Cabin has great windows and a sunny front porch. Got to watch a Great Horned Owl hunting from my sleeping bag before dawn one morning. Great pow surfing nearby and a gorgeous 2.8 mi ski in/ski out. Get there during daylight to mop up the mouse poop and keep your food (and your pets' food) stored at night for a sound sleep. Little Morso stove had a big crack across the top and the front cover kept falling out. One of my favorite FS cabins so far!

The approach to the cabin is straightforward along USFS access roads in the winter. Although we snowshoed in, I highly recommend skiing in as a quick and relatively moderate-effort means of getting into this cabin. The cabin itself is a wonderful, rustic accommodation with a Coleman cooking stove, gas lantern, and some minimal supplies (including toilet paper for the outhouse). Bring your own gas canisters (Coleman propane) for the stove. The only complaint about this cabin is the wood stove -- it is small, and does not produce much heat. If you are sitting around it in close proximity, it works well. I would have figured the USFS to install a larger wood stove upon constructing this cabin that would "fit" the room to be heated (especially as the cabin can be accessed via roads). If you are a "cold" sleeper, the winter night could be a cold one for you unless you keep the stove fed throughout the night and have a warm bag. All this said, the cabin is a great destination for a night on the threshold of the Crazies!

Decent little cabin. It's pretty small, or as some would say "cozy". It wasn't as well stocked as other cabins we've been to, but we always bring what we need, just in case.
