Clean, family friendly, everything you need. Just beautiful

@JessicaK101721 · Camped on Sep 29, 2025 at Campsite #1

We had a great three day stay. The cabin is perfect to be up in the mountains. Heat, a stove, a bed, a table and a little space. Close proximity to so many trails and wilderness. We saw lots of moose and deer near the cabin and throughout the area. Would rent again!

It was a nice rustic cabin.

@StevenW5993867 · Camped on Jul 4, 2025 at Campsite #1

Beautiful area. Cabin is always well taken care of.

@RonaldC5295622 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #1

Great experience in a well maintained clean cabin well worth the $ The stars at night are so big and bright, Loved the quiet and secluded off road location.

@StevenP6378402 · Camped on Mar 9, 2025 at Campsite #1

We went in late winter. I was almost expecting to go through the top door but the lower door was dug out as well as the outhouse. Furnace heated up the cabin very well and stove works. Even my big city wife had fun

@AllenH9471936 · Camped on Nov 26, 2024 at Campsite #1

Beautiful place and cabin! Come and enjoy! But don't tell your friends!

@TylerS9906995 · Camped on Jul 27, 2024 at Campsite #1

Very nice rustic cabin. Reasonably priced stay. Abundant wildlife near cabin. Atv opportunities near. It was a very nice stay to unplug for a week long sabbatical to get re-connected with God in His creation . Very quiet and peaceful atmosphere .Met a wonderful woman of God while climbing medicine bow peak as well. Hope to come visit again Lord willing.

@Jayakumar25EBD · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #1

We enjoyed the stay, its beautiful location with basic facilities and clear instructions. Calm serene sound from the nearby creek was wonderful experience.

@EleanorBD23AAF · Camped on Mar 2, 2024 at Campsite #1

Incredible cabin with everything we needed and nothing that we didn't. It is easy to get to and find, the stove is SO WARM and there is great access to phenomenal skiing terrain just outside the door. The mattresses are a little rough but better than sleeping on the cold ground! Bring water if it is the winter - melting snow is a huge pain.

@JoshB6153063 · Camped on Dec 30, 2023 at Campsite #1

We've stayed in several of over snow access winter cabins, and this is by far my favorite. Exactly one mile from the parking area, it can be accessed on foot if need (groomed snowmobile trail). The solar electric lights are very nice, as is the gas stove and heat as it is so much easier than wood.

@JeffS4172407 · Camped on Sep 20, 2023 at Campsite #1

Great Hiking Area

@SharonA5481938 · Camped on Sep 11, 2023 at Campsite #1

We really enjoyed reading about the history of the cabin. The solar lighting was adequate. As it was a couple of nights in the mid-twenties, getting the propane heater to light is imperative! The knobs on the heater are difficult to see...possibly someone should paint the numbers white. If the rate next year is increased to $80 or higher, possible water could be included in some fashion. Someone has gone to great lengths to provide the "basics." We made great memories...we love Medicine Bow National Forest.

@KarenM8822647 · Camped on Jul 9, 2023 at Campsite #1

clean and equipped. lovely meadow.

@SpencerB2B7389 · Camped on May 31, 2023 at Campsite #1

Awesome cabin for our group of 4! We had everything we needed for our stay and had a great time enjoying the view. The only issue was the extremely muddy conditions due to the melting snow, but that is to be expected around this time of year.

@DarrenL8024311 · Camped on Mar 22, 2023 at Campsite #1

Everything that can be expected in a remote mountain cabin in an area with 7 feet of snow. Warm and mouse free.

@LinneaS5858258 · Camped on Feb 11, 2023 at Campsite #1

Easy to get to as the road is not closed as far back as we thought. The road to the cabin is packed down and our snowshoes were great. There are a lot of snowmobiles in the area, so just be aware and make sure they can see you! There was a TON of snow and we had to shovel out the bathroom and cabin upon arrival but everything we needed was there. The only problem we had was that the propane heater ran out of propane as soon as we went to sleep for the night which made it quite a cold miserable night, but when it was running the heater heated up the space very well and it was enjoyable.

@NinaE1442387 · Camped on Dec 29, 2022 at Campsite #1

The cabin was great but my communication with forest service was terrible. The person on the phone told me I could drive from Laramie- INCORRECT! The closest parking is on the Saratoga side. She also said there might be six inches of snow- not enough to ski. There was 8 FEET of snow, and I had to ski to the outhouse! Luckily I was prepared for an adventure.

@JoshuaH2166052 · Camped on Dec 17, 2022 at Campsite #1

Great! Keep it rustic, like it is

@AshleyL4614567 · Camped on Nov 19, 2022 at Campsite #1

We LOVED this cabin. It's very basic and in the winter under a lot of snow. There was 2 ft. of untracked snow and it was amazing. It took us about 45 min. with snowshoes to walk the mile and about 30 min. on the way down. The furnace is tricky to start so don't get discouraged. It takes the cabin a bit to warm up. We brought down booties to wear inside and it was absolutely amazing. We also brought some Clorox wipes just in case but everything was in excellent condition and clean. We will absolutely be back!

@BrandonK567337 · Camped on Sep 23, 2022 at Campsite #1

Family of four spent 2 nights here. In late Sept 2022. The fall colors were beautiful, weather was perfect. Clear skies, highs of 55 and lows of 26. When lighting the oven pilot, make sure to lift the stove top up first and light the 2 stove pilots first. We had no issues with the cabin or it’s equipment, all worked great for us. The solar lights work very well and operate just as of the cabin had electricity, lit it more then good enough for our needs. Others have reported having issues with the bathroom key, but we had none. Would gladly stay again.

@JudyB6641446 · Camped on Aug 31, 2022 at Campsite #1

Great quiet destination, close to numerous trails and sights in the Snowy Range. The cabin has a gas stove, a gas heater, limited cooking pots, 4 bunks and a table. The FS road leading to the cabin may be used by other campers looking to boondock. The bathroom was clean and it is locked so there is no public access.

@DanK6653884 · Camped on Aug 22, 2022 at Campsite #1

This is as basic a cabin as you can have which is appealing to many. It's located just off the highway which makes it easy to be able to explore & hike the numerous trails in the area, which is spectacular.

@HerbertE755986 · Camped on Jul 5, 2022 at Campsite #1

The cabin is pretty rustic, but certainly functional. The Snowies are an extraordinarily scenic area.
The main problem for us was that we suffered altitude sickness. We had been fine at 8,500' in Colorado, but 10,300 was difficult.
It might be nice if NFS could install some kind of outdoor dish and other washing facility with a drain field.
Stocks of toilet paper and all kinds of things in the cupboards were appreciated!

@ChazInSoCal - CA

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
