I have rented this cabin several times in the past. The last time was about 7 years ago and I have no recollection of it being overly filthy. When we arrived and saw all of the mice feces and nests in addition to the smell of mice dropping we decided not to stay in the cabin and fortunately had our camper with us. I was not willing to haul water from the river and spend several hours cleaning before use. While the "camp site" is lovely the increased fee from $35.00 per night to $75.00 would not be a route I would have chosen. I did have an opportunity to visit with the forest service staff that came to the area and she said that the cabin was in it usual state of cleanliness. I disagree having past experiences with renting. there. While I realize budgets are tight-so is mine and I have to look for outdoor opportunities that are affordable. This was to be a special occasion and I used monies that I had been saving for a long while. I feel that the $300.00ish I spent with reservation.gov was a complete waste of money. I did consider canceling before my reservation and was appalled that the cancelation fee was $95.00!! So I opted to go ahead with the reservation. Too bad-I could have at least gotten some of my money back. I will never rent a cabin again and I really do not like the reservation program that the forest service has gone to. It makes use for local residents almost impossible and I wonder how many reservations are made and never used! Very very dissapointed.
