Good Cabin. Plenty of fire wood stocked for now if you want a fire! It was warm so we did not use the stove or outside fire ring. Lots of dead flies in the windows. Would recommend taking a battery operated vacuum if u have one. The gas lantern that was there before was missing. Luckily we brought a battery operated one from home. There is a coleman stove to use for cooking if u need it. It's stalked with Plenty of pots and other utensils. Saw a few deer, antelope, elk, and 1 moose while there. No mice issues but they are there. Guessing do to it being warm and we didn't keep any food in the cabin, they had no need to visit. Sleeps 3 with a bunk bed and a single with supplied mattresses.

We had a wonderful 5 days in the West Fork cabin, although there was considerable smoke from various fires, mostly a great distance from the Gravellys. The cabin is just right for 2 people. We bring everything we need, including pots, pans, water (for cooking, drinking), dishes, silverware, propane stove, propane lantern, etc. There are some dishes and pots, we prefer our own. There are mice and we would recommend bringing some traps and cheese/peanut butter; we got 4 mice while we were there. Doubt if there is any surefire way to exclude them from a cabin like this. A small spring runs some yards down the hill into an old concrete containment. Recommend bringing a couple of 5 gallon buckets to get washing/bathing water (and a pot to dip water from the containment to the buckets). Outhouse is accessible via a small, short trail with a considerable uphill grade at the end (not a problem for folks who are regular walkers/hikers). We really liked the remoteness of this cabin and, being off the main drag, traffic is close to zero (we saw one vehicle during the 5 days, but were gone typically from 10am to 5pm). Would definitely go back again!

Very long and rough road to get to the cabin. Beds are uncomfortable and cabin seems to have a rodent problem.

I was unable to access the cabin because of deep, wet mud and some snow on the access road high up in the mountains. Even though I have a Subaru Forester, I judged it best not to try to make it.
