It is a very rustic cabin, with no running water. We did our cooking over a campfire outside. There was a refrigerator in the kitchen that was helpful, and a number of mice that scurried about at night. You could hike down either side of the river, and look at its origin from a spring that wells up right out of the rocks just a short ways from the cabin. The cabin was difficult to see from the road. It really helped to watch the mile markers so you knew when you were upon it. It was a very quite spot at night.
