The cabin was great, perfect for a getaway. Super quiet, lots of good spots for night sky watching and places to hang your hammock. Looking forward to running water next year but plenty of local springs to fill up from so not a big deal, just bring a couple of 5 gallon water totes and you'll be fine. Plenty of roads and trails for walking and if you're lucky the local Elk herd will stop by for a morning drink at the pond. The town of Heppner is not too far away and has a full service grocery store, ranger station with maps and a coffee shop/pharmacy/ liquor store.

We absolutely love this cabin and will definitely go again. I would recommend bringing some bug spray if you plan on sitting outside. There are lots of flies, wasps, and mosquitoes. This is such a beautiful place rich with history and nature. Would definitely recommend!

Loved the solitude of the cabin. It is very rustic, which enhances the old-time feel of the area. The little pond had little fish in it, providing hours of fun for catch and release fishing. The off-shoot gravel road that abuts the property is a dead end at about a mile and is great for walking without worrying about vehicles. Cabin was stocked with all necessary dishes and utensils, was able to still use the toilet even without running water (manually add water to tank), propane fireplace kept the place warm when it snowed (in June!), beds were comfortable, and still received radio reception (no cell service). Penland lake is about a 10 minute drive away. Just an overall quaint, quiet, simple place for getting away and enjoying the forest.

Excellent. Had the best time. Kitchen is stocked well, and nice to have a stove and refrigerator. The surrounding area and the near by lake were great. Can't wait to come back. New fridge and pull out couch makes it very comfortable.

Four of us spent a week at the cabin during the first part of November 2019. The cabin was warm and comfortable for all of us. We planned ahead and brought water for drinking as well as toilet flushing as the water is shut off this time of year. We brought plenty of cooking supplies as we weren't sure what was available. There were several cooking utensils, dishes, cutlery and silverware but we brought our own just in case. Lots of hiking in the area on marked trails. Fishing is available at Penland Lake. Great family experience. We look forward to staying in the cabin again. If you use the propane oven just be aware that it runs very hot! Tough to regulate the temperature but still able to be used if you keep track of the temperature.

I'm happy with everything, I always have a great experience.
