Always a great stay.

We were able to make it very close to the cabin and snowshoe in about 100yds. There was firewood available and the wood stove kept us comfortable with sub zero temperatures outside. Very enjoyable weekend.

Ok

We have stayed here many times in all the seasons and have always enjoyed it.

We love staying here, for the most part everyone cleans up after themselves. It's so relaxing and quiet, this last stay we saw a very nice 7 point bull elk and lots of turkeys, a few deer as well, 2nd time we've stayed, will be going back for sure!

Glad I got in before the rate increased. I can't see paying $65 a night plus another $8 fee for a total of $73 for this place although it is nice. I have Verizon for cell and only got 1 bar that came and went at the actual cabin. If you hike up the hill with that big water tank on top I was able to get 4 bars with 4G LTE. Forest Service or future visitors please bring a new hardback blank book for use as a journal or even a thick notebook so people can continue to leave notes about their visit. Some stories and tips and pretty interesting and funny. I am also amazed at some of the artwork people do. The cabin needs some window cleaner if the Forest Service or a future guest can bring. It would have been an even better stay if the windows were clean. It is not listed in the details but there is a microwave. According to the journals there was one before but it broke or was stolen but there is one again. If you are wondering about the solar panels in the photo it is used to pump non-potable when in season. Maybe the Forest Service can update the site to reflect when that is. Don't leave food out as there were two mice. I got woke up around 1 due to the noise of them going after my nuts. Oh, guess I should clarify that they were smoked almonds that I had in a zip lock bag inside the mesh portion of my luggage. I had put all the other food items in the fridge but forgot about the almonds. Wood heater worked great. Thank you Ashland Forest Service for your work.

The cabin’s location was excellent. The fire pit and available wood to burn was nice. Very clean restroom.

Visited in Feb 2021. The lock on the gate was frozen, so we walked in from there (about 75 yards). There was enough wood already split to get the fire going and start warming the place up (and I left two day's worth split for the next visitors). Temps were between 0 and -10F for the two nights/three days we were there, so we slept out in front of the wood stove. The electricity worked great and the outhouse was clean and stocked with TP. It was a new moon during our stay, so the stars were out in full effect and the city kid traveling with me was awestruck. Overall, a wonderful weekend away. A note on cell service: I have Verizon and there was enough coverage to send/receive text messages (especially if you're standing at the window that faces the gate). I tried making one call and it dropped after a few seconds.

The cabin was absolutely perfect for our family of 4: clean, quiet, easy to get to, and surrounded by wildness.

Great little cabin. Wood was stocked and wood stove kept us warm. Really cool peaceful location.
