The road is very snowy and not many people have been through. The closest you can park to the cabin is 12 miles away so keep that in mind when planning!

This is a very remote place, it's easiest to get there via snow machine and then ski around from the cabin. It would be so nice if people were more mindful of the peace and quiet of the place and aware of the critters are present and not feel the need to rid their snow machines virtually everywhere. Also it seems people feel the need to tear up the place with snow machine tracks, which changes the experience for some people. The cabin is cozy. Its wise to bring a few extras like TP and paper towles, maybe a few dishes and batteries for the electric lantern. The mice often are there.

Beautiful place. Great setup. Was able to drive within 6 miles before thanksgiving. Skiing around the lake is great. Bring D cell batteries for lanterns; they die and aren’t propane. We had headlamps and luci lights, all worked great.

First your website is wrong re the name of the surrounding peak. Squaw Peak was renamed Hirschey Peak in 2008. There are many things to love about this place. The setting and views are gorgeous. Since we last visited in 2017, a new outhouse has been built closer to the cabin. At our visit this year the ax was missing, the battery powered lamps were dead, the big cupboard that used to contain dishes and pots and pans was impossible to open. There was no sauce pan. The bin containing eating utensils had no lid and was covered with a plastic garbage sack! Unsanitary! The pads on the 2 beds were satisfactory but people should bring extra padding for more comfort, especially for the cots which have no padding. The last 6 miles of the road is extremely rocky, which takes your attention away from the occasional glimpses of wildlife. Finally, the weather can be unpredictable so bring appropriate clothing.

Cabin was clean and well stocked, we go there every winter and it never disappoints.

Stayed here 9/15-9/18. The cabin was nice enough. I would stay here again, but probably not if they raise the price from $25 to $55 per night. That’s a pretty steep increase. A hand pump well and put toilet are located about 50 yards from the cabin. Firewood and lantern were not provided as advertised. There was no Verizon service here, but we could get several LTE bars about 5 miles East and a mile or two south of Twin Lakes Rd on FR 945. The online listing doesn’t describe the parking situation. There is parking for one truck. Definitely not room nearby for a second vehicle or an ATV trailer if the other campsites are occupied. There’s ton of room for parking, but the entire campground has these concrete pillars everywhere limiting parking capacity. The people camping in trailers had to unhook their trailers because the parking stalls were not deep enough. The lake and campground are beautiful. Got some strong west wind gusts at times through the mountain pass. Campfire 3 - Camp chairs 0. Caught some nice little rainbows on the upper lake.
