Excellent little cabin, nice location, convenient fridge/stove and heater on propane. Some trafficgood gravel road draws lots of passerby, the toilet block gets some public visitors by day. Nice fire pit. Two bunk beds w good mattresses. Bring water and bedding. The heater is strong. Dishes, pots and pans, silverware all included.

Great view from the cabin. The goomed trail was easy to XC ski on. We had a heads-up that the heater was temporarily broken so we came prepared and were cozy. The bathroom door had frozen partially open so there was lots of snow inside. Can't wait to go again.

Great location. Big sleeping area and good kitchen space. Public vault toilet was convenient. Gas lamps are nice but set off the carbon monoxide alarms after a few hours. Heater didn’t work which was a major bummer because it was 10-20F outside. There’s no other way to heat the cabin. We would have been in real trouble if we didn’t have 0 degree rated sleeping bags.
This cabin is stocked with almost literally nothing. Bring your own kitchen gear, matches, water or pot to melt snow, lighters, blankets, matches, pillows, matches, toilet paper, and battery-powered lamps.

Great cozy cabin with stunning views. Beds were comfortable and all the appliances worked well. Awesome place to spend a glamping weekend.

This was a fantastic experience, and we hope to be able to come back at a different time of the year! Cabin was easily located, stocked with minimal dishes and basic cleaning supplies. I would recommend bringing basic oils, spices, chopping board and knives if you are looking to prepare more elaborate meals; along with water, as there is no water on site. It can sleep 4 but know that the arrangements are 2 bunk beds. There is a newer outhouse that is clean, and has a rail for those needing extra support. The views were stunning; breathtaking sunsets and sunrises, cows wandering about and heard the local pack of wolves howl during the night. Lucky enough to see a lightning storm light up the sky our last night there. Bugs weren't bad at all, and no snake sightings either! This would be a great place to bring a dirtbike, and for birders, be sure to bring your binoculars! There's a barn owl near the cabin, along with endless mountain bluebirds. A big firepit is right by the cabin, and there are so many downed trees, you can forage for all the wood around and still not make a dent. Lookout is closed to visitors, but the views were still phenomenal. This was a great experience!

This is a cozy, safe & beautiful escape in the beautiful blues.

Great place to spend a couple nights!
We enjoyed a wide range of weather that really kept things interesting - rain, fog, sunshine, dramatic clouds, double rainbows. Our days were spent exploring the surrounding area, doing short hikes and sitting around the fire.
The stove and fridge were very convenient. We couldn’t get the heater to light even with careful attention to the instructions and prior experience with this type of heater. Also, the gas lamps would quickly set off the carbon monoxide alarm, even with a couple windows cracked open a few inches. The storm shutters weren’t in the best condition and would smack loudly against the walls in windy weather.
That said, all the minor faults added up to a very memorable experience for my wife and I. We loved the beauty of the area and seeing the occasional coyote, deer, and song bird. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

Place is pretty livable. Gas heater works great. Nice alternative to camp in tent.

This is a great cabin, poor location. The views of the stars are awesome. The cabin seems to be at the confluence of several off road vehicle trails. People are zooming by in loud atv's or motorcycles all day. Everyone in the whole area uses the bathroom. Glad we brought our own TP - the bathroom ran out supplying the whole mountain.
Other than noise and no privacy - this is a great location.
