Great spot, but tough to get to-- flat tire on truck due to sharp rock 2 miles from cabin. Too bad that fire took out trees to the west of the cabin to keep it from being in shade in afternoon.

We visited October 27th-30th, 2022. The road down to the cabin had a lot of snow, we got stuck on the spur past the gate and had to dig out/chain up. Pretty hairy getting down off the Gravelly Range Road to the cabin (about a mile)- would recommend chains on all 4 tires if you feel confident or snow mobiles (it snowed about 18 inches a week earlier). With this much snow you're at the end of the road (nobody was driving past the junction to the cabin road). This time of year, come in from the Centennial Divide Road up the Ruby River drainage (west side of Gravelly's), then up Eureka Basin road. No peanut butter left for setting mouse traps, would recommend bringing a jar and leaving it in the table/cupboard. The propane lamp is still there, but need to bring propane for the lamp and stove. Evidence of mice but they were going for boot insulation, as we had our food secure. Maybe consider bringing a chainsaw because many of the wood rounds are too long for the smaller stove box. Cleaning supplies, paper towels, and some toilet paper was available, along with pots and pans. We had a great time at the cabin, it's very cozy and they installed new floors recently which are nice.

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.
