Quaint little “cabin” on the ruby river, beautiful spot. Wood stove kept very warm all night! More of an old house than a cabin. Seems like winter is the best time to visit as the summer can be very busy.

Beautiful and quiet. River was high and dirty so fishing was bad but we had a great time. Far enough away from the road that the little traffic there is is unnoticeable. Turkeys in the yard and elk and antelope up on the ridge. Wood stove is much better than the ones in some of the other fs cabins. Burns all night. Perfect get away.
