Loved the cabin and the location. We were able to drive to the cabin despite snow, but I'd recommend having 4WD or chains. Otherwise it's about 1/2 mile walk to the cabin in the winter. Good cross country skiing out the door. Cabin is very basic but has most everything you need. Definitely a bonus to have electricity. No running water but there is a creek right next to the cabin.

Beautiful location and pretty easy to get to, even in winter, at least during our visit. Still plenty of solitude. There was ample snow for cross-country skiing, yet hikes were very doable as well. There was a fair amount of firewood and we kept the fireplace in the bedroom going as the low temp during our visit was -11F. The fireplace and down comforters kept us comfortable. The axe has seen better days and is one swing away from breaking. Next time we'll bring our own. The electric stove appeared brand new and worked well. No mice seen. We brought plenty of water. We really enjoyed the stay and look forward to visiting in different seasons. It was a great way to ring in the New Year!

Clean and the beds were quite comfortable. The fire place was small and requires constant attention. The wind howled the whole night. The fridge and the coffee pot were a surprise but we really enjoyed it! We will do it again!

RENT NOW! Price increase and MISLED about cabin! Price: Starting next year the price is going from $20 to $65 a night + any $8 reservation fee. A HUGE jump. Misled: In one place this cabin is stated as electric. Another "Cabin Nonelectric" although a electric cook stove is mentioned. Folks this is a FULLY ELECTRIC cabin with lights, lamp, outlets, coffee pot, stove/oven and even a full size fridge! How can this not be accurately described for over 10+ years? It even mentions propane lighting but there is NONE. Why is nobody fixing this? The bake/broil switch on the Whirlpool unit is broke making the oven not work. A simple replacement may get the oven going again if anybody has that. Has a sink but drains into bucket that must be emptied by hand. No water this year for some reason. Wood heater in bedroom with wood Monarch cook stove/oven in kitchen. 2 sets of bunk beds with very NICE vinyl wrapped mattresses with raised headrests. Many games in closet. Nice fire pit by creek with lots of wood. Nice trail called Birch Bender Loop Trail across bridge in front to right. Map on post on other side of road. Goes to small pond and loops behind cabin by toilet and up to CCC camp. 1 Bar Verizon 3G by CCC camp on hill. 2 Bar Verizon 4G on scrub brush hill if needed. Only USFS location I have been at that has a flagpole. A US flag is above the fire extinguisher by front door. Nice big porch with logs that makes you feel you are at at a real woodsy lodge. Horse coral by toilet. Very nice ADA vault toilet that has a cool bamboo looking covered entry for privacy. Some ATV and vehicle traffic as there are two roads in front of the cabin. Bring some air freshener as there is a heavy cooking grease smell in the cabin. We would stay again for SURE especially at a mere $20 a night for a fully electric cabin and wish we were closer. This is a wonderful place. Rent before the price more than TRIPLES! -- RENT NOW for $20 while you can!
