Really nice cabin! There's no water onsite, so pack in or use a local campground to fill up. You're at the start of a popular trail, so be mindful that you won't be completely alone during the day, but it's very quiet and private at night. Any car can get to the cabin. The Ranger Hole Trail is pretty steep, but the water is beautiful for swimming. Definitely recommend!

We arrived late at night, so it was a bit scary to go in and settle in. It has almost everything you need—you just need to bring your own food, water, blankets, and maybe a frying pan if you want to cook something, as the pans there were quite old. The previous guest left the place very clean. We struggled to turn on the propane lights and eventually had to call the emergency contacts listed there. The first person didn’t answer, but the second lady helped us, even though she said she stopped working for the cabin service a few years ago. You need to turn on the gas for a few seconds before lighting it with a match from the bottom. We had a great time there. Thank you, USFS!

Well taken care of, instructions and lanterns made for a wonderful spring evening!

Great spot. Bring a cooler and you’ve basically got a fully functioning kitchen. My family loves this spot!

We've stayed here many times over the past 30 years. It's definitely gone downhill a bit since we first started visiting: no more refrigerator, fewer working propane lamps, no trash cans, and some comfy chairs have come and gone. But it's still a great place for a getaway in the woods. We had some difficulties with the heating stove, but managed to keep it running until a Forest Service employee could come out with a replacement battery - thanks USFS!

Heater didn't work so we left. Luckily they gave us a refund but it was annoying to go all the way there and have to turn back and go home.

Could use a couple new mantles for lanterns

Just perfect.

We had such a blast days in this cabin- very cozy and room for more if they prefer to sleep on the floor. I really enjoyed the pictures inside the cabin and the way our ancestors used to live. Very rustic place

This was our first trip to the cabin, the kids gave it a thumbs up for a return visit. The cabin itself is so cute and has the just right feel of comfort and rustic. The previous person left it clean. It was very fun to experience life without electricity or running water. The only disappointment was that the water pump wasn't working. Had I known that I would have brought disposable dishes to lessen water needs and I would have planned meals that did not rely on boiling water. There were empty plastic jugs under the sink and we used those to bring water back from the Rangers Hole and after boiling the water we had hot cocoa and let the rest of the water cool overnight for drinking. My old bones had a hard time sleeping on the very hard futon. The hikes to Murhut Falls and the Ranger Hole were just right for my old bones as well. Teenage kids loved it. Best part was unplugging from all technology.
