Wonderful trip. Would have been a 5 star review if it weren't for the burn damage. Brought friends that have never been and we all enjoyed the fantastic views. Had to come in via South Fork Rd because of storm damage on regular route. Much longer route but it had great views of SF Smith river and mountain vistas (good road). The cabin is beautifully maintained and the view from the bathroom is quite nice (you'll have to see for yourself). Multiple deer every night. Buck Lake is nearby and well worth the short 1 1/2 mile hike in. Also short drive away is Bear Basin (meadow). Beautiful and full of wildflowers and other botanical wonders... maybe even a bear view! Wonderful and beautiful scenery everywhere. If you like lookouts (and cabins) and nature this is for you.
