We visited mid-February and there was snow on the ground. I wouldn't say the cabin was "toasty," but it got warm enough. The pump was not working, so bring your own water. Everything was very clean and the Ranger made an extra trip to bring us new mantles for the gas lanterns. We had a great time! The water at the Ranger's Fishing Hole is an incredible turquoise. Water coming down off of nearby Murhurt Falls was spectacular! Be sure to also visit Rocky Brook Falls, not far away up the Dosewallips. Absolutely incredible at this time of year. Was fun learning about the history and imagining what it might have been like to live here back then. Winter is a quiet time to visit. Highly recommend it.

Beautiful cabin a little closer to the public trail than I realized but a wonderful time non the less.

What a quaint cabin with history! I would have liked to have known that there is no running water however, even from the outside pump. Perhaps a list of “what it has” and “what it doesn’t have” would be nice so I don’t have to overpack but am also prepared. Kitchen is fully stocked with plates, utensils, pots and pans, lots of games, but no fridge or water. I’d go back again for sure. Great location.

Beautiful location! The cabin had everything we needed.

Such a special cabin and location. Very charming and comfortable and the kitchen worked great (mind, the fridge does not work). I plan to revisit again!

Quiet and dark, just what we needed. The propane lights and stove are easy to work and instructions are placed all over the walls to help out. While there are some other cabins nearby, they are tucked away and line of sight on other neighbors is minimal. Got the quiet we were seeking. Folks come in and out at the trailhead even in Feb. but everyone stuck to the trail and let the cabin be. Very likely will book again!

Rustic, quiet, snowy - everything I was looking for. Despite the obvious mouse inhabitants and their droppings, the cabin was clean and exactly as described and pictured. There's nothing fancy here, and people looking for indoor plumbing and wifi - stay away (and don't write in the log books that the cabin would be better with those things!). It's a perfect cabin for a quiet, off-the-grid reading/writing/knitting retreat.
