The cabin was very warm and cozy. The pond has a variety of birds. The trail to the bench is very overgrown and we couldn't find it. Also if you want the bathrooms cleans there needs to be a toilet brush and cleaner. Easy to get to. Close to the trailhead for the Stronghold.

The setting is spectacular. Creek was flowing very private with covered verandas on both sides with a picnic table to enjoy the outside. The cabin is very inviting, roomy, with both baths functioning well. Being Monsoon season it was a relief to see the grounds around the cabin had been mowed otherwise it would have been waist high and very limiting so that was most appreciated. On the downside, once again for a third stay at Half Moon for whatever reason the state of cleanliness of this cabin upon arrival was shabby at best this compared to our experience in 8 other different NFS cabins we have enjoyed in Arizona. Could be bad luck with prior users not sure. This was a surprise as there was no reservations for the cabin for 2 or more weeks prior to our stay but the ceiling fan was on and among the dirty dishes in the sink were wet sponge and wash cloth? I would examine whether there are nonpaying infiltrators or maybe forest staff are in use but not tidying up upon leaving. Another item that is not unique to Half Moon but seems common among the Coronado Nat Forest cabins is the outdoor grill is completely burnt out literally beyond usefulness (it does not work) knobs missing burner is beyond gone etc. and that's if your fortunate to have propane in the tank. Obviously these grills are very useful and important to many who stay as part of their menu choice so they get alot of use and are flat worn out. These grills need to be inspected regularly and likely require replacement every few years. In its current state do not show up with and expect to BBQ on the gas grill at Half Moon it is not possible. Coffee maker is over engineered and a science experiment. A basic inexpensive unit replacement that is easy to clean would serve all very well so right now bring your own drip or percolator. So that's my nit picking but overall experience delivers and wont keep us from a future stay it is just too cool hopefully can address covered equipment issues for a homerun.

Nice location. Neat and clean house. Good kitchen, dining room and great living room with fireplace. I recommend it.

We had a great stay here. The cabin was well-equipped with all of our basic essentials and had a great outdoor space to relax in and explore. Close drive to a few trailheads as well.

Great setting and location for exploring Cochise Stronghold and the surrounding area.
