Had a great stay and enjoyed the hikes in the area! The cabin was warm and cozy and was cleaner than we expected (no fresh mouse poop).

Nice cabin with good atmosphere

Propane heat and lighting. Cabin thermostat is turned down to 55 when unoccupied, but heats up quickly. Cabin is simple, clean, and comfortable: no fridge, running water, or electricity, but we knew that. kMight need to bring some more utensils if there's more than two of you Ranger Hole Trail (0.8 mi) down to the Duckabush River begins next to cabin; it's a nice walk.

This was such a peaceful getaway, no wifi, no cable, no electricity, and no water. Bring what you need. There are lots of games, puzzles, and books to look through, moss covered trees to wander through, and a beautiful river to walk to. The propane stove/heater was a cozy way to stay warm and the propane lights gave perfect ambiance. We didn't try to cook on the cooktop so can't comment to that. As I said bring all the water, cooking utensils, warm blankets, things you may need and be prepared for quiet restfulness. The pit toilet is not terrible as far as pit toilets go but it is a bit of a walk from the cabin so be prepared. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location that's close to anything you want to do in the Olympic Mountains. It was gorgeous and is close to the Halfway House Cafe which was an excellent find!

Amazing! Please keep it rustic. Never add electricity! You might want to say what a “mantle” is or have a diagram on light Instructions. Might also need extra mantles for the ones that have holes. A snow shovel would be good too…we were snowed in and broom is tricky…! Otherwise so awesome!! The futon was hard to put away and I don’t think the oven worked. (That’s okay!) I was hoping to learn who the people in the photos were too. So wonderful to see them and see all the journals. THANK YOU!!!

Would have been even better if the water worked and the mantels in the gas lights were not broken,

This was my third time staying here, and the cabin's charm still doesn’t disappoint. I read some of the previous negative reviews and I want to advise that this isn't a vrbo or airbnb, this is a facility the forest service is keeping open for equal access to the park. The cabin is historic and maintained by renters and the park rangers, and it's perfect if you are looking for a rustic experience that is loved by many (think car camping with a roof / oven / furniture). I don’t recommend this for people with expectations past that. I love this cabin and hope the USFS continues its legacy.

Rustic and charming, we always enjoy our time at the cabin.

A great cabin to visit and loved the fishing trail going back soon
