we stayed two nights the facilities were very clean. We enjoyed our time there. Beds are comfortable. There’s a lot of hiking available and we took advantage of that all three days.

The cabin has everything you could ever want. Be prepared always for wind! It's worth it to go out in the night to see the stars. This is a dark sky place. As well it's worth it to get up early and see the sunrise!

First time there and really impressed with the obvious remodeling, large kitchen counters, comfy beds, beautiful views, Hiked to Our Lake at end of road, fairly easy 3 mile hike with beautiful views and large cutthroat trout that are not easy to catch but did get a couple with dry flies. Great family time with wife, two 40 something sons. All in all a great way to celebrate Father's day for a 78 year old.

Great spot to stay. They put new windows in as well as siding. The cabin has a nice kitchen/living room area with two separate bedrooms.

Great Cabin with access to hiking trails not far from the door. Heating in each room and electricity makes this more like a vacation rental than your typical FS Cabin. Fireplace puts out ALOT of heat and may only need a few logs when closing the damper at night. Slept well, no noticeable mice/rodent activity in the cabin. Well stocked with cookware, cutlery, plateware and cups/mugs. Microwave and Stove work well. Woodshed was down to 12 rounds when we rented it, in late March. We burned through 8 rounds keeping fire low throughout 2 days. Great addition of new Bathroom/Pit Toilet. Lovely views and just a short walk down to the S Fork of Teton River. Keep it clean for the next person and Enjoy your time out in the Woods.
