The cabin was in a nice wooded area set back from the gravel road. You do hear lots of ATVs on the weekend, but much quieter on weekdays. The cows were around every day, sometimes close to the cabin. When I called to get the combination for the lock, I was told by the ranger that there was a working refrigerator, BUT there was not. So, plan ahead to have all your food in a cooler and know that there is nowhere to get ice unless you drive into a town. Water was easy to get at Silver Jack Campground, but having to keep all our trash with us was not ideal since the campground won't let you dump trash there. Firewood was provided but with the fire ban we were unable to have a campfire. The stove worked great and we were able to prepare our meals and use the provided kettle to heat water to wash dishes. Cabin is within walking distance of the fishing area at Silver Jack Reservoir which was nice. Beds were fine for sleeping but the fabric mattress covers could have used a good washing. The outhouse was as clean as an outhouse probably can be. Plenty of toilet paper was provided. We enjoyed having our own little retreat to go to after a day of hiking, fishing and exploring the area!

Great experience! Be prepared for a long gravel access road.
