We loved this cabin! One of the cleanest and best stocked that we have been to. Located along a beautiful creek. The road is very rocky and narrow, you need a 4-wheel drive high clearance vehicle.

What a great way to get away from it all in the winter. Beautiful country and definetly quiet when you are 8 miles back in there!

The cabin is excellent. Based on past reviews it seems USFS installed a new wood stove with a glass door; fully stocked the kitchen with plates, bowls, cookware, and a propane stove; and an axe and hatchet in the wood shed. Still bring your own propane so that the canisters there can be used for emergencies. Wood was fully stocked in the shed. Kudos to USFS for all this. For those snowmobiling in, please be respectful of the private land surrounding the access road before the campground. We saw two snowmobilers doing laps on his land, despite signs along the road indicating the area was private.

We visited Racetrack Cabin during the coldest week of the year and still loved it. The directions didn’t work for us - references to a plowed road aren’t helpful when there is no plowed road! (We parked near the first cattle guard.) There isn’t great signage but our best guidance is - once you cross the creek a second time, you’re about a mile away. This is our fourth winter cabin stay (third cabin) and the first ever to not have split wood. We always travel with an ax so it didn’t impact us but we could not have stayed if we hadn’t brought our own. Available firewood was quite low and we tried to use as responsibly as possible. The cabin supplies are sparse in general - plan to bring what you need and don’t assume the usual items are available. Our only request would be a glass window in the wood stove door so we could have had both light and heat. :) no complaints here, just want to help those who come behind to plan accordingly. It was quite an adventure and we’d love to return to check out the area in another season. Thanks for making this gem available.
