This is a charming Cabin. It was clean, (mainly due to previous visitors) and double bed was comfortable. The propane refrigerator wasn't working and notification of this would have been much appreciated but want given. The stove and heater were great. Cabin is powered by solar panel which powers lights, and hot water. Both worked fine thanks to sunny weather. It's about 320 sf and roomy for two with a dog. The outhouse is a ways from the cabin. Good weather made it a great trip. Hope the refrigerator can be fixed and we would like to return.

My wife and I have booked several of these NFS cabins over the years. This is the most remote - about an hour to anything like civilization. The grounds are fantastic, with a big fire pit, seating, and a picnic table, right beside the babbling river. However, there was a burn ban on during our visit, so unfortunatetly, no fires. The cabin setting is nice enough, although it was surely much nicer before the surrounding forest burned, 8 years ago or whatever. The weather was nice for the first couple of days, but then the winds changed and the wildfire smoke blew back into the Entiat Valley. The day we left it was getting really bad. We enjoyed our stay, although the cabin itself has some good and bad points. The solar power for lights and hot and cold running water is a big luxury for a cabin like this, as was the little shower house. On the other hand, we found the bed to be pretty uncomfortable, and the cabin was pretty dirty when we arrived. It's always hit or miss with these places, depending on how meticulous the previous renters were. Overall it was a great visit. We'd tried to time our reservation for peak fall colors, but we were a week or so early, probably due to the unusually warm and dry fall. Also, I would have avoided this weekend if I'd known it was deer hunting season. The adjacent campgrounds, and the whole valley, were extra busy, filled with big trucks and ORVs kicking up dust.

Very cute and comfortable cabin. I will return earlier in the season so that I can use the outdoor shower! The deadbolt on the door is treacherous, keep the key outside just in case it locks by mistake.
