This is a one-room real log cabin that was built over 100 years ago. It's rustic in the true sense of the word: simple, with wood heat, a couple of lightbulbs, and no indoor plumbing. There's no maid service. You get to experience the real back woods, with no traffic, internet or cell service. True simplicity, and a welcome respite from city life.

We had a great time. Several of us hiked and rode bikes. As always the cabin and pavilion area were clean. Lots of would for campfires.

The cabin was immaculately clean. And during the hot temperatures, the pavilion made it a very comfortable stay. Thanks for the improvement on the electrical system for RV plug-ins. Great stay!

Nice facility, the cabin was very rustic and great. Only knock would be that the pavilion does not have electric lights. Other than that, the campground was great.

Very clean! No mice! No packrats! Thank you, USFS!

Beautiful well kept up facility. Furniture was nice and good repair. Wood available for the fireplace and fire pits. They ran out of mouse traps which was unfortunate as we did have mice visitors in the night.

Nice cabin. Electricity is a bonus and doesnt take away from the rustic experience. The proximity to the creek is great and we were able to land a handful of small trout. The mice problem seems to be under control. No issues for us. We did notice there was a lot of dog poop left over from the winter months. We tried to pick as much up as possible but ran out of bags.

Cabin clean, enjoyed having electricity, firewood well supplied for wood stove, gas stove for cooking good, outhouse very, very clean with ample supplies of toilet paper, hand sanitizer. ample parking. four slept in the cabin, and two slept outside by the pavilion in tents---We brought our own firewood and did have a fire in the pavilion fireplace. ---Very enjoyable time.

Nice place. Well stocked. Electricity was a bonus!

This location is incredible. As far as the cabin goes, it was clean and well cared for by previous guests and the USFS when we arrived. We considered it a win when we found only one dead mouse in a trap by the stove after reading other reviews and log book notes about rodent issues. The gaps all the way around the door that allow a lot of daylight (and probably the mice) to enter and exit had me scratching my head. Seems the USFS would go through a lot less wood and perhaps rodent control measures if that was addressed. We conserved some of the heat by rolling up newspapers and tucking them into the biggest gaps. The bunk beds were well-built and larger than we realized in the photos.

The only bad thing was leaving!! So many trails to explore - we had our side by sides and 4-wheelers. Weather was a bit cool, but mostly sunny, and the wood stove kept us warm and cozy. This spot is a hidden treasure, and we hope to return next year. Thanks for the memories.

Nice cabin in a beautiful area. Close to East Fork trailhead. Stocked with many puzzles, as well as kitchen basics.

Very cozy and well appointed cabin. It says that it sleeps 8, but there are only 4 beds. I am sure glad that our entire party didn't show or we would have had people on the floor. I suppose it could sleep 8 if it were 4 couples that really liked to snuggle. Even then, they would have to be pretty small. The beds are slightly larger than a twin, but are not full. The mattresses were comfortable. The property was nice with plenty of room to roam. The pavilion was very nice with the fireplace and bbq pits. Overall it was fantastic!

Short but sweet -- only 2 nights. Still very lovely after the recent refurbishings, although I could not get the new gas oven to light. Also there was a packrat INSIDE the cabin! Very noisy all night -- and it tried to steal my car keys off the table! Make sure to close the doors and windows at night, so more don't come in! Speaking of the table, it seems very large for that small space. It either is too close to the woodstove, or blocks off the window and you can't put 4 chairs around it (which are also very large and heavy). Despite all that, it was a great comfort to see the wood shed cleaned out and stacked up with split firewood! Thank you, USFS!

We've been going to the cabin for the past 10 years and love it. The new log themed furniture was great.

Such a lovely place! Sadly, visitors are ignoring the requests to help with rodent control: not setting traps, leaving food inside the cabin.

This cabin is great! Snow was gone by early May when we stayed and roads were easily accessible. It was nice and clean when we arrived. It has a big outdoor fire pit, plenty of firewood and the creek runs along side it. One of the cleanest/least smelly vault toilets of any of the forest service cabins I've stayed in. Would recommend bringing additional coffee mugs if you have more than two people. There were only 3 mugs at the time we stayed. Other than that, it has everything you need! Enjoy!

Great place to relax. Make sure bring all your herbs and spices with you as there are none at the cabin.

The road is only plowed to where the pavement ends. The road to the cabin driveway is hard-packed. The cabin driveway is not plowed, and we slid off the driveway due to ice underneath about 10 inches of new snow, we were able to dig out and parked on the road. Advise a sled to bring in supplies. It was also neg 39, even with a fire going all night water bottles on the floor froze. But the pump house water did not freeze and the wood stove worked great. Tip: please bring the locks in the cabin and not hanging unlocked outside, when we arrived 2 of the 3 locks were frozen closed and took a lot of warming to open. Very little mouse sign!
