Amazing!

It was incredible. The Forest Service staff was coming out of the woods as we were going into them, and we chatted for a bit. They made sure we were prepared and had everything we needed for a safe snowshoe trip to the cabin. Once at the cabin we found it fully stocked with wood, incredibly clean and organized, with plenty of equipment and a new stove for warmth. The staff even shoveled a pathway to the wood pile and to the outhouse for us so we didn't have to do it ourselves! Five star treatment! The ONLY thing I might recommend is some sort of saw that might be usable by those who rent the cabin (a small chainsaw), as it is very hard to chop the knotty wood in order to restock the wood chest for the next renters. We did as much as we could, but the logs were frozen solid and sometimes frozen to each other. It was VERY hard to chop the wood into portions that would fit in the stove. Something to address this would be very welcome. Otherwise, the cabin was safe, warm, and truly amazing. The stuff of dreams. Thank you so much for the work you do!

A beutiful and remote place!

A beautiful little cabin in the middle of the woods with incredible views of the surrounding forest and mountains. It's a single, small room with a bunk bed of single beds and two folding cots you can set up for a total of up to 4 people. I think that's a little crowded though and that it's perfect for 1-2 people. The supplies inside fluctuate (like the number of utensils/bowls/plates or how many spare CO2 canisters there are. So, I'd recommend bringing the complete list suggested on this website. It's either a 3 mile hike in on the forest service road carrying your gear, or you can drive in with a 4x4 car but beware it can get pretty muddy and rutted. I definitely plan to be back!

Our second time to this cabin! Well maintained and well stocked. The road has been improved since the last time, but still requires high clearance 4x4, especially if it’s rained anytime recently. The bugs were more prevalent this time so don’t forget the bug spray!

It was an awesome trip! More challenging than expected for sure the walk due not used to snowshoes but totally worth it! Road was closed so walk was about 5.5 miles one way, snowshoes needed all the way back due storm, cabbin very nice and well equipped! Lots of wood, very nice views!

So long as FS 700 is open to the gravel/grooming lot, this is an easy 3 mile snowmobile or ski with little elevation change. The cabin is in good shape, no mice (huge surprise), and comfortable for 2, although it can fit 4 on portable cots. My only complaint is the firewood is very wet and huge and you will spend a lot of time splitting a hauling wood if you want to stay warm in below zero temps. The stove burns 2-3 logs per hour and must be fed every hour 24x7. But I guess that is part of the expierence.

The cabin was clean and as the information provided the road required a high lift vehicle. We had one, and would recommend it. We had a great time. There were thunderstorms all night and it was wet in the mornting. We waited till 11 and the trail was good for driving out. Nature rules!

Getting away from it all on skis in the winter was never so rewarding. It’s an adventure to get there but the effort is well worth it. On the way back out the ski to the car really was excellent. So much snow ip there.

Lovely cabin, very secluded and peaceful experience! Cabin was left in great shape by the previous visitors, with enough wood inside to get us through the first night. Plenty of wood outside to chop for the rest of our stay. There is enough dish-ware and pots and pans, there are chairs too. Since there was a lot of snow, we hiked in the full 10 miles, pulling our sleds with gear. It kept snowing during our stay and we snowshoed the first 3 miles back until the groomed snowmobile road. We were never cold with the wood-stove going on! No signs or sounds of mice being active in the cabin. This place must be amazing in every season. Bring a good book, some good food and get disconnected from the world for a bit!
