This was a great place for a fall getaway. The Forest Service updated the interior a few years ago with new floors and furniture and it was in pretty good shape during my visit. The roads to get here are in good shape and passable in any car (as long as there isn't any snow). It's very quiet and on clear nights you can see lots of stars. The keypad is on the side door, which enters into the rear... This was a great place for a fall getaway. The Forest Service updated the interior a few years ago with new floors and furniture and it was in pretty good shape during my visit. The roads to get here are in good shape and passable in any car (as long as there isn't any snow). It's very quiet and on clear nights you can see lots of stars. The keypad is on the side door, which enters into the rear room. This room contains two bunk beds that can accommodate up to six people, a small couch, a coffee table, and the propane heater. The front room has a long counter, cupboards, a table with four chairs, and a gas range. There are two gas-powered lanterns in the front room and a third in the bedroom. The windows have screens but some of the screens have holes, so if you visit in summer prepare to use the bug swatter. There is no electricity or water. There is an outhouse nearby in the trees.

This is really an outstanding example of the 1930s-era Forest Service rustic style architecture. It deserves all the attention and respect it can get!
