Screen doors need to be repaired. Lovely site. Instructions for heater need to be updated

First off it is a high traffic area for fly fishing and trail walkers. If you dont mind that and are looking to be close to an awesome Fly fishing hole right out the back door then this is the right place for you! I took the kiddo so it was real nice to be able to go back to the cabin and hang out throughout the day. We set up some hammocks by the water and although there is some traffic up front it’s also peaceful and beautiful. The inside of the cabin was well kept with a working propane heater, propane fridge, dining area, nice beds and comfy futon. My one HUGE problem with the place is the lighting. It’s listed as having propane lighting but it seems to have been removed. It now has 14 battery powered lights in the walls throughout the cabin. It’s a decent sized cabin and these battery lights take 6 AA batteries each. The batteries do not last very long.. there was ten batteries there and I brought 8 with me for flashlights. Almost all the lights were dead or almost dead when I got there. 84 batteries! It takes 84 batteries to fully run this place and they will only last the weekend. This system seems careless and NOT environmentally friendly. I do have several lanterns but I only brought one since I was relying on the inside having propane lighting. So just a heads up plan on a lighting alternative or come with 84 AA batteries.

Awesome location. The fireplace kept going out was the only issue. Having the river out the back door was beautiful!

This is one of our favorite forest service cabins to rent.

This place is lovely, and other than the hikers and Fall River looky-loos parking out front during the day, it’s incredibly private at night. A little on the expensive side, but beats sleeping in a tent and appreciated having somewhere to go when the weather got a little rough. Will book again. Thanks!

Great cabin/area/location. You have to share the parking lot and vault toilet with the general the public. There's no running water in the Station. Propane lights had been removed, but stove, fridge, and heater were working. Not sure what USFS will do about lighting in the future. (pv w/ battery?) It's probably not for everyone, but I've been before and would go again.

River is crystal clear and COLD. Saw bald eagles, osprey, mergansers, nighthawks, deer, and more just behind the cabin. Cabin has everything you need. Just be sure you keep track of the key, as the front door automatically locks. We had to crawl through the kitchen window at 11 p.m. more people around this year than last (flyfishers and tourists), but had it to ourselves early morning and late evening.

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.
