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!

Could use a couple new mantles for lanterns

Just perfect.

Wonderful cabin, busy trailhead.

The cabin was a lovely get away. Very clean and comfy. The propane lights are really cool. When we were there the one in the kitchen wasn't working. We'd brought a lantern and there was another light source as well in the cabin so it was no big deal. We didn't hear or see any evidence of mice on our trip. The stove kept us nice and warm. Being off season it was very quiet around the cabin. i could see how you could get a lot of lookie-loos in busier months as it's right at a trailhead. I will come back here again.

A quiet cabin in the woods at a trailhead- a really nice place to stay. The instructions tell you that there is a lock on the driveway gate and another pair of locks on the back door of the cabin. We found only a single lock on the back door of the cabin and it used the code we had been sent for the gate lock that wasn't there. There were mouse droppings in the lower kitchen cabinets but we didn't see or hear any mice. Propane gaslights work as long as the mantle is intact. Close curtains to help the propane fireplace warm the place up but don't expect it to get much warmer than 65 or so in early spring.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend, with clear skys and lovely nordic skiing conditions around the cabin. the cabin was in pretty good order. Interior temperatures were a bit cold, never got above the low 60s, but far and above warmer and drier than on the outside for this cold week. My only complaints were not against the cabin itself but previous inconsiderate guests. One previous visitor had stuffed garbage under the sink rather than packing it out, and someone had decided to fill the cabin's guest log with a whole plethora of highly political content. Free speech is great, but lots of people from all kinds of beliefs and leanings come to this publicly owned retreat to find serenity. So that kind of behavior, bringing all the divisiveness of the outside world into this beautiful place can greatly detract from the experience for others. Please be considerate and respectful of this place so that everyone can continue to enjoy it as much as we have!
