What a perfect spot to get away in a nice and clean one-room cabin. There is a peaceful mountain stream next to the cabin, and great for kids to explore and play. The outdoor fire pit is ready for a cozy fire with four bench seats. The pit toilet is convenient and not too close but not too far away. There were cows in the area but fenced off from the cabin. If you use GPS to take you to the cabin, I highly recommend you take the southern approach. The northern approach takes you through numerous cattle grates, farm gates, and barbed wire gates and requires a high-clearance vehicle. I love this cabin and will definitely be back.

Just gorgeous, as always. A little dirty inside - last people’s failure to clean, maybe. Many cows.

This was our first time to Douglas Creek Cabin and we loved it! We parked at the small pullout about 1.5 mi away as snow was predicted overnight and there was also still a bit of snow and ice on the road. It was really nice to have the creek nearby, and the cabin was so cute! We went for a small hike up the hill, and you are able to stay on public land and get to a nice view. We definitely look forward to returning! We appreciated the amenities, including the cleaning wipes someone had left, and the nice big cast iron pan for cooking on the stove—note, there is only a small pot so bring your own large one if you plan on making a big thing of soup, etc. What we did not appreciate is whoever stayed at the cabin before us—there was a FULL black trash bag left outside on the porch (with food items inside including dog kibble), beer cans littered around the ‘yard’ and also burned beer cans left in the ash can and wood stove inside, and dirty dishes crusted with food left on the counter inside, and the windows had been left open. We did our best to clean up the mess and packed out all the garbage. Despite this, no mouse issues on our visit!

GUYS LISTEN. Respect the roads. We had gotten to the cabin in our 2011 Hyundai Sante Fe with AWD locked in ONLY with the kindness of the snowmobiles ahead of us. Guys if you're thinking you're gonna be some "cool guy" and make it there with no drama - you're wrong. We were lucky enough to get locked into snowmobile tracks and flooring it in AWD we eventually got to the wonderful cabin but had to leave at 3am because we didn't want to get snowed in. Take heed of warning and book late as this is a deep forest cabin. Wait till April. Although we enjoyed the adventure, if you can't single-handedly push a vehicle out of a 4 inch deep hole in the snow created by recent snow or over the 2 foot deep cattle guards. When you're walking on ice you might as well dance.

Stayed 3/12/22. We were able to drive our SUV all the way in with snow tires and chains. Cabin was clean and well-stocked. Plenty of wood and the fireplace was warm.

A wonderful stay at the Douglas Creek Cabin. We were able to park at the Y and only had to ski in 1.5 miles. There was a well stocked kitchen with dishes, utensils, pots and pans (all in very good condition). There were even brand new cleaning rags (which we did not use because we brought our own). The previous renters had cleaned the cabin well and left us with a good stash of wood. Thank you to the Pintler Ranger District for a well maintained cabin. We will come again!

We had a great mid-February winter trip to Douglas Creek Cabin. We were able to drive in pretty far on the road about a mile and a half out from the cabin; our ski in was icy but not too bad. Highly recommend taking a trip up forest road 707 to Dunkleberg Ridge, the ridge offers great views and an overlook.
