Owl Creek Cabin is one of our favorite places. This trip included my sister, my grandson and his buddy. Those two boys had such fun splashing, chasing, play fighting and generally tormenting each other. With the scorching hot forecast, it was the perfect time to be at the lake. We enjoyed lots of water time as well as campfires and marshmallow roasting. We were quite entertained standing on the porch in the morning watching the pack trains file past the cabin on the way into the Bob. Thank you to the Forest Service for maintaining this beautiful cabin. The only drawback was that the oven cooks waaaaay too hot. We also found the cabin was like a sauna inside. We discovered the pilot light still lit in the gas heating stove. We turned off the propane and all was good. Also, bear spray is important but so is bug spray!

Great place to stay year round. Has everything you will need and then some! Pots, pans, plates, cups, a slew of utensils, microwave, electric stove/oven, mini fridge that works amazing!! 2 electric heaters, 1 fan, propane stove (fan is broken so it makes a lot of noise) books, games, an awesome collection of literature for hiking, biking, camping in the area. Water spigot outside, fire ring with some fresh rounds cut from the diseased tree's cut around the cabin - if you venture out a few yards (bring a maul or splitting ax - none provided). New mattresses, but a little hard for me. I took a cot pad and it was perfect - you may be fine and it is better than last year when they were completely flat. Walking distance to Holland Lake and the falls if you want to get some exercise. Had a supply of paper towels, toilet paper, clorox wipes......everything you could possibly need. It was like staying at the Hilton Resort! Minus the people :) Cozy place! I could totally live there!

The cabin was was clean and comfy. We brought water for cooking and washing dishes, but I wish it had a sink. The heat didn't work too well.

Arrived at the cabin in a snow storm only to find no snow shovel to clear a path upon entering the cabin proceeded to fire up the propane heater.the directions said to adjust the thermostat to control heat,and not to touch switch on back of heater,after an hour of waiting for heater to fire up decided to use small electric heaters provided' it was a good thing the temperature outside wasn't any colder the heaters kept the cabin warmish.I don't understand why they removed the wood burning stove that had been there for years 'these so called rustic forest service cabins are becoming more like VRBO rentals.

Had a great stay before the 4th of July. Even with the campers nearby the horse corrals it was nice and quiet. Beds were comfortable and lots of amenities in the cabin, so less to pack. Kitchen was very stocked and I accidentally left my steel mixing bowl behind..... Would definitely stay here again, beautiful area!

What an amazing little getaway. The cabin is very cozy and only minutes from the lake. Hiking trails are right out the front door. The cabin was well stocked with an assortment of kitchen cookware and utensils amd the propane woodstove/fireplace is awesome. We want to come back in winter for some CC skiing.
