The cabin is completely amazing with locally sourced wood, it’s a bit cold in the winter but when you have a nice fire going opening windows is a must. The river behind the cabin is great by itself its common to see fish in September as they go upstream. Bathrooms are located close to the cabin itself along with a water spigot for the non-winter months. When staying here its super quite at night and I find it super relaxing, the outside fire pit is amazing. The cabin prices did increase to $75 prior to 2020.
Vehicle access ends when the sunsets or close to it for example in September it will close around 7 pm but in November it will close at 4 pm. During April and August, it will close around 8 pm (9 pm late May) all gates are marked with the gate hours. The USFS has a host cabin onsite when occupied the representative will be more than happy to unlock the gate for anyone accidentally locked in.
During the winter months the gates are kept closed due to dangerous road conditions but a walk into the cabin is a great experience and the host will help you bring your belongings to the cabin during this time.
