I've been wanting to stay here for years! Awesome cabin, rough getting up there for the younger generation. Pulled up our pop-up with no problem. Bring a chainsaw!

Was exactly what we were hoping for with a beautiful scenery, running creek within 100 feet and silence. The Cabin was more impressive than expected, with all the cleaning materials and kitchen ware one needs. One of us attempted to chop all the wood in the shed and only got about halfway before we left. The Cabin has clearly been taken care of with a little TLC and was greatly appreciated. This place is not for people who do not care and respect the wilderness. Make sure to have a 4x4 or AWD vehicle with come clearance when going out to this spot. We took a Yukon, Tundra and VW SUV, the only one to not bottom out on a boulder for a split second was the Tundra (2013 platinum). I would not be drive anything besides a 4x4 truck out to this spot unless you have decent off roading experience. Fantastic spot, cannot say enough about it and the people who keep it in pristine condition.

We were unable to make it to the cabin due to the condition of the road. The last 4-5 miles were impassable for anything but an ATV or off road vehicle. Per the listing we tried to go with 4 wheel drive, high clearance vehicles, but the road narrows significantly and is extremely steep and rocky. I would not recommend that anyone without off roading gear and experience attempt to reach this cabin.

all scores on 1 being not good to 5 great : Wildlife 3 there is a porcupine every night on the cabin chewing the decking. Saw 3 deerCabin itself 4.5 windows are too small very dark, no screen door and window screens have holes. Interior Cabin amenities 5 were greatSurroundings area 5 very niceOuthouse 1 disgusting, dirty and smelly Wood supply 5 great and we added to pileRoad 2 when we called and asked road conditions we should have been told that trailer travel to the cabin was virtually non existent. we had to unload bike and drop trailer part way up. Lakes access 2 when we called and asked we were not told high clearance bikes would be required to get anywhere. Very disappointed in trails that were side by side friendly.Signage 2 there is very poor and very little signage. Historic map landmarks are not even marked. I will not recommend or return to this cabin due to lack of access by standard side by side.

The cabin was perfect! For a 3 day girls vaccation with the horses we had a blast. Pozega lake was breath taking but I would not recommend taking any motorized vehicles up that trail. Creek was perfect and even caught some brook trout. Everything was clean and in great working order. Will be going back again.

Nice clean cabin in a beautiful location.

@ChloeG8056211 · Camped on Sep 11, 2022 at Campsite #1

We loved this cabin! One of the cleanest and best stocked that we have been to. Located along a beautiful creek. The road is very rocky and narrow, you need a 4-wheel drive high clearance vehicle.

What a great way to get away from it all in the winter. Beautiful country and definetly quiet when you are 8 miles back in there!

@Elizabeth96325 · Camped on Jan 6, 2022 at Campsite #1

The cabin is excellent. Based on past reviews it seems USFS installed a new wood stove with a glass door; fully stocked the kitchen with plates, bowls, cookware, and a propane stove; and an axe and hatchet in the wood shed. Still bring your own propane so that the canisters there can be used for emergencies. Wood was fully stocked in the shed. Kudos to USFS for all this.

For those snowmobiling in, please be respectful of the private land surrounding the access road before the campground. We saw two snowmobilers doing laps on his land, despite signs along the road indicating the area was private.

I've stayed at this cabin two times now. Enjoyed it thoroughly both times. I'd recommend to anyone to bring along a couple of mouse traps and keep all your non refridgerated(cooler) food in plastic totes. Also maybe a can of fly spray.

Garbage sitting in fire pit from other users; could not have fire due to Stage 2, bummer to have graffiti on walls and ceiling. Out house is a REAL outhouse-- needs to be moved, re-dug, and repaired.
Great to have screens on the windows and front door of the cabin, and no mice!

The Cabin was in good condition, and was a very nice place to stay. The road in to the cabin is a trail not a road. You can drive to the cabin with some driving skills and a capable off road vehicle, we drove a Jeep and a Toyota. If you do not like to drive off road then you may think about the hike in from the campgrounds. We hiked the 4.5 mile trail from the cabin to Big Pozega Lake, and then back. There were a few un invited visitors that stopped by the cabin on their way up the trail, but overall the cabin was very clean and quiet. We will be back! Thank you Forrest Service for the great experience.

Loved this rustic cabin. We did have to cut fallen trees off the road, must have chainsaw. Good fishing for Brooke trout right at the cabin, creek is amazing. Saw a Grizz on the road when riding the ATV. Road to cabin is really a Jeep trail, be ready for adventure!

We visited Racetrack Cabin during the coldest week of the year and still loved it. The directions didn’t work for us - references to a plowed road aren’t helpful when there is no plowed road! (We parked near the first cattle guard.) There isn’t great signage but our best guidance is - once you cross the creek a second time, you’re about a mile away. This is our fourth winter cabin stay (third cabin) and the first ever to not have split wood. We always travel with an ax so it didn’t impact us but we could not have stayed if we hadn’t brought our own. Available firewood was quite low and we tried to use as responsibly as possible. The cabin supplies are sparse in general - plan to bring what you need and don’t assume the usual items are available. Our only request would be a glass window in the wood stove door so we could have had both light and heat. :) no complaints here, just want to help those who come behind to plan accordingly. It was quite an adventure and we’d love to return to check out the area in another season. Thanks for making this gem available.
