Stayed over Labor Day Weekend 2024. It was a beautiful stay! The Steel Creek group site was *packed* that weekend and they all had dirt bikes, so it was a little noisy at times. But I love the fenced in portion of the site for privacy (although a few people jumped the fence and walked up the road to take a little look). Haha, can't always help who the neighbors are, but the site and the cabin are great. The outhouse is great.

I spent a quiet 3 days at Al Taylor. This is my fourth visit there. I just needed some quiet and solitude and Al Taylor delivers.

That cabin was beyond perfect. I’ve never felt so at peace as I did there with my pup. I’m thankful I was able to get my small motor home up in there because she has a fridge that kept my food cold. I’d love to come back there one day again. ❤️

Staying at the AL Taylor cabin was one of the most amazing trips we have ever taken. It is clean and well kept and the surroundings are a little bit of heaven. Hiking and sitting are everything you need here for a perfect stay!

This is a cozy, clean, well cared for cabin. Tucked away yet easy to get to. It has clean bathrooms and all the off grid amenities one could want.

Please see our review from 9/20/21 for more info. Forgot to mention some things in our last review. There is a horse corral with a little area dug out for water from the creek. Also the fire pit has 2 grill surfaces and a bar to hang items over the fire for cooking and warming. There is plenty of seating out front with the two picnic benches and additional benches. The water pump at the group campground was not working during our stay. We reported to the ranger office the one bedroom with two single beds that the mantles were gone and the one in the kitchen needing replacing. Don't forget to call to get the combination as it is not emailed like most other cabins! We were staying at several cabins this trip and forgot to but LUCKILY the combination was still the same from our last visit. WHEW! Great place and great price! Not getting expensive like cabins in Montana...Yet.
