We had a great time and the cabin is so cozy and comfy.We will be, and are looking forward to our next stay

We stayed at Walker Cabin August 14th, it was a great stay. The cabin was clean and my family enjoyed the small stream that runs next to the cabin. The outhouse was a short 30 steps away from the cabin and there was even a battery operated light in it! There were fires in the area at the time, we were thankful for the communication with the firefighters and rangers from Elk City. Elk City was a nice little town. We would stay again!

Loved it here! The fall leaves were beautiful and we saw plenty of wildlife. The ranger station in Elk City was immensely helpful with questions about the area. FYI, the cabin in almost 10 miles back, not 8. Yes, the cabin is dark but that's partly because it wasn't built to maximize natural light. We brought multiple battery lanterns and read just fine after dark. We brought our cast iron and made chili and cornbread on the cookstove. It took some trial and error the first night so we ate later than planned but it was hot and good. The temp drops when the sun goes down so pack extra blankets in the fall. The mattresses are a little hard but the 4 of us slept all night. Flannel fitted sheets and sleeping bags with blankets tucked inside kept us toasty. We had fun exploring the mining towns and stopping at the historical sites along the way. The people of Elk City were super helpful when we had a tire leak. All in all, a great and memorable trip. We loved this cabin and the unplugged relaxation we enjoyed. We'll definitely be back!

Great spot. It was left very clean by previous users. The window of the kitchen door was broken out when we arrived - we tacked some corrugated metal over it. The wood stove surprisingly heated the whole cabin and other rooms very effectively, almost too much when we packed it full before bed. We only used the wood cookstove once, as it was slow to heat up and double stoves is just too much for the little cabin. The place could use some better furniture... the govt issued chairs circa 1968 don't really invite much relaxation. There are fun ghost towns nearby to explore, and xc skiing and snowshoeing to do on many roads and trails. There was less snow the further South we went up into the valley, kind of unituitive, must be something about the terrain. Elk City is worth a trip. Overall a great stay over the New Year!

Walker Cabin is one of those Forest Service gems that you wish there were more of....I fly and its a hop, skip, and jump from the airstrip. Idaho paradise for sure Don't miss it
