Malheur National Forest

Paved road the whole way up, gorgeous drive, lots of spots to stop and look for rocks/arrowheads. Buckaroos running cows all weekend was fun to watch. Cabin is small and warm. Didn’t use the futon. It was a mess when we got there, so just used our own cot instead. Definitely meant for one or two people, not a family. It’s tight in there. The lights and fire worked well. The oven cooked up a pizza really fast. Whatever was living in the walls has moved to the barn. It kept one of my dogs busy for most of the weekend. Really enjoyed this little cabin. It was very peaceful and the grounds were very clean. We’ll be back!

I would rate my stay as ok. The station was full of flies, fortunately there was bug spray in the building. The building could use some repairs, ( seals around doors and windows ). I would rate it as a good place to stay for 1 - 2 nights.

No cell service. There is a spring about a mile away for delicious water.

Stayed there for six days, refrigerator would not work unless you held the start button down. I called Prairie City and they had me call John Day. They sent a guy out right away. The hot water heater….well there was no hot water. Cold showers all week. There was not enough water pressure to ignite the tankless water heater, the note posted in the kitchen and bath say there is a problem with tree roots or whatever. Other than that it’s warm, clean, and a great location.

The campground was adequate. Water had to be boiled. Tent sites could be bigger and more level. A covered shelter would have been nice. We got rained on dueing supper the first evening. Otherwise I loved that it was a sunny spot with trees sureounding it for a sept. Campout.

I very much appreciated the camp hosts. They were a pleasure to talk with; had good information and were very much on top of their routine. Our campers even commented on how the cleanliness of the campsite/toilets.
