SITKOH LAKE (WEST) CABIN

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.

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.

We stayed here for about a week, 3 adults and one child. The cabin website estimate that it can sleep up 6-8 people is very generous, with the 4 of us, there was one person to a bed.

We stayed here for about a week, 3 adults and one child. The cabin website estimate that it can sleep up 6-8 people is very generous, with the 4 of us, there was one person to a bed. Just something to keep in mind when planning a trip here. The facilities around the cabin were good, easy access to trails, bathrooms, water, etc. One weird problem was people "stealing" the well water; people who weren't campers at the facility would drive in and monopolize the well, filling up endless boxes of water bottles. Despite having the well nearby, it was always so busy, we often ended up using filtered water from the creek instead. Bears frequented the area around the cabin while we were there, and there were bald eagles, squirrels, the usual suspects. The cabin itself was comfortable and roomy for our party of four, and the adjustable windows with screens helped keep the temperature comfortable for everyone. We would definitely recommend staying here.
