Cabin looked excellent from the exterior, the setting is picturesque for sure. The trouble came with the lack of an access code for the lockbox containing the key to the cabin - should have come from Recreation.gov. I've stayed at many forest service cabins and never had a problem with codes (included in several preparatory emails). The absence of a code made me wonder if perhaps the reference to an access code was an error, but not so. Arrived after hours, growing dark and no option to contact the ranger district office. Admitted defeat on the doorstep and drove home.Called the station the next day and have been playing phone tag for over two weeks to see if anything can be done. For the handsome nightly rate, I had hoped for better information ahead of time and a higher level of service when things didn't work out.Will try again, but be sure you have your entry code, and if it's not in the emails, call the ranger station before they close (4:30 PM)!

We enjoyed our stay and the quiet. Yes, you can hear the highway traffic in the distance, but it is not too distracting. In order to ski far, one would need to go to another sno park like Maxwell Butte, Little Nash, or Potato Hill. These cabins are great for reading, playing games, cooking, and relaxing. We could not get the solar lights to work in the Commissary Cabin, but our family members in the Hall House had them working.

I have only visited the fish lake cabins during the winter and early spring, so you might be able to drive up closer to the cabins to unload when they open the gates to the day area, but during the winter definitely suggest bringing a sled to pack heavy things! During April there was not enough snow on the ground and I wished we packed lighter or brought a wagon. Heat worked great, but the lights would loose charge so we use em sparingly/brought lanternsAlso, a note on mice. There are bound to be mice! Seal your food, hang your dish sponge out of their way, and bring your own cookware if you're worried about it.Lastly, I think a pair of glasses might've fallen out of a pocket when I was up there. They are clear and I believe day Nike on them. If ya see em can ya let the ranger station know I'm looking for em? Have a great stay !

The downed trees made the route from the Sno-park impassable, and the snow was deep at the time. We ended up parking off of Hwy 126 since we didn't bring a chainsaw. The place took a few hours to warm up, but once it did, it was cozy. Stove worked great. Outhouse seemed far in the deep snow, but in great condition. Place was very clean and nice. No signs of mice. Definitely will return when the weather conditions are better or the trees are cleaned up.

Lots of critter activity and mouse traps around the cabin. Heard larger critters in the attic too at night. Cabin stayed nice and warm. We could turn 1 light on for a max of 30 minutes. Use sparingly and don't count on it. Area was clean and quiet. Outhouse was pretty nice, there was lots of TP there even though we brought our own. Kitchen didnt feel like it could be used because there was no running water and you had to dump water outside in a specific spot. I would have wanted to wash things before using because of the mice. Nice rustic stay, bring what you need. The propane stove was nice to heat food on with our own supplies.

Country to earlier reviews we had no real rodent problems in. Hall House; sure there were a few signs but nothing significant. However, there were a few other items that, once resolved, would make a stay more enjoyable. Most notably, though there is and outside and inside entry door neither one wants to stay closed and the exterior door is notoriously hard to open. The fireplace propane heater is extremely inefficient, puts out very little heat and makes it impossible to get even one room reasonably warm. It would also be helpful if there was a shovel and axe available. A bucket for carrying dishwater to the outhouse for disposal would also be helpful. We brought in additional lanterns to supplement the solar lights; very helpful.

I've been here a couple time before. To my surprise when I arrived, somebody had busted the box that held the key. I called the Ranger station. The nice young lady was there in about 30 minutes but she had forgot the key. I'm glad this trip I didn't arrive after dark like I did in the past. This cabin is large and the fire is neat but it doesn't heat as well as the small cabin. There was a wheel barrow in the day use area that was nice to haul gear. I don't know if I would have found it if there was snow.

The Hall House was larger and warmer than we anticipated! Amazing location! There was mouse scat, but we didn't actually see any mice ... and something larger than a mouse scurries around in the attic at night. Oh well! There are plenty of pots, pans, dishware and utensils, so no need to bring your own. One thing I wish was different though... I am not a fan of crossing a highway to get to the trail from Lava Lake Sno-Park. Think ice, snow, embankment, cars and trucks... crossing with kids... yikes. I wonder why the Forest Service doesn't just allow permitted parking overnight in the day use area off of Highway 126, the other route has some serious safety issues in winter. That aside, the cabin was really neat, comfortable, with an amazing view from the amazing deck. Definitely worth a visit!
