hot water is either too hot or too cold so taking a shower is tricky, sofa isnt comfy to sleep on ,bed is old and sinks in the middle,gas applainces make it really hot inside so bring a fan w battery backup or power bank .window near heater dont stay open

great little Cabin nice and clean Deer came in and the night hawks was awesome real quite

Really beautiful spot. Remember, this is not VRBO so don't expect a fruit basket and bottle of wine. Some DIY required. I really enjoyed the privilege of having this place to ourselves.

It really depends on what you like to do and the time of year, but there are certainly lots of things to do, both near to the station and in the surrounding region. While we were there bow hunting was in full swing in the area, while we mostly went hiking in the nearby wildernesses.

It was nice and clean. A very quiet place to get away from it all.

i use it every year and i enjoy the stay every time. the hasp on the front door needs some repair. the price is excellent. i will be staying again next season even longer.

We just returned from 4 days at Short creek guard station. We had an excellent time hiking, fishing and viewing wildlife. The cabin was nice, comfortable and perfect for us and our two dogs. We did bring queen sheets and blankets for the bed which was pretty comfortable. The hot water was quirky, but we managed just fine. The only critters that we saw in the cabin were carpenter ants in the shower each morning. It is bow hunting season so there were lots of vehicles passing. The cabin sits on an intersection of rd13 and rd16, so that was not ideal. We had an excellent time in the Strawberry mountain wilderness.

What a nice little cabin! We had a great stay. My son says A+++. The propane lights created the sweetest nighttime ambiance and the gurgling stream that runs past the cabin was a delight as well. The nearby Strawberry Mountain was aptly named as the yard was full of tiny, delicious, ripe strawberries (last week of June). It is a nice walk up the road behind the cabin or go the opposite way across the main road for easy access to the river. There are window treatments but they are just sheets. I have hopes of making curtains for the place but I forgot to take measurements before we left. There are plenty of kitchen utensils but are lacking bowls so bring your own (or even better - one that can be left behind for the next guests). We will definitely be back and are inspired to add cabin stays to our yearly outings.

Great place off grid; thanks for sharing USFS!
