MAY CREEK CABIN

Been visiting here for 30 years, since the battery ski club renovated it back in 1995. Short distance from the roadway, peaceful, secluded and a little slice of heaven at a very modest price. I always visit in the winter. You're not going to find a lot of steep and deep terrain, but the low angle skiing and touring is great.

Great off grid retreat in the winter. Beautiful ski along the creek into the cabin.

Beautiful but the trail is overgrown and there's lots of downed timber to climb through. If not experienced with backcountry travel it might be better to find one you can drive to. We thought it was great. That review is 3 years old. Update: Returned after the fire and the trail is actually better now than it was before the burn. Cabin in excellent shape and well equipped. Code does not work for the woodshed so be prepared for that. Bring some newspapers or cardboard to help light fires.

USFS cabins and lookouts are not comparable to commercial for profit rentals. You are relying on previous renters to clean the cabin before you arrive which sometimes does not happen. Our star review is based upon a rustic cabin experience and some cabins have electricity, propane or just a wood stove. A 5 star for a USFS cabin or lookout could equal a 2 or 3 star review to a regular for profit cabin. The good: 1 room cabin with 2 bunk beds and mattress pads. No ladders to climb into upper bunks though. Very peaceful and serene. Nice island dining table with cool branches supporting and bench seats. Good equipped kitchen. Wood stove. Both battery and propane canister lanterns. Clothes lines with hangers. 2 burner propane camp stove but you need to bring propane. Fairy light string
