Sweet little cabin with beautiful views. We had to snowmobile in the 5 miles as the road was too deep with snow to travel. Directions for parking and traveling in were well written so no problems finding the place. That wood stove..wow. It pumps out the heat. We woke up at 1 am sweating and had to crack the door. Temps outside were in the 20s at night. Had everything we needed for a cozy night.

Very nice place for a sylvan experience. From splitting wood, to writing, to listening and just being. Enjoy the quiet and the darkness.

Cute little cabin set in an astonishingly beautiful meadow. Cabin has great windows and a sunny front porch. Got to watch a Great Horned Owl hunting from my sleeping bag before dawn one morning. Great pow surfing nearby and a gorgeous 2.8 mi ski in/ski out. Get there during daylight to mop up the mouse poop and keep your food (and your pets' food) stored at night for a sound sleep. Little Morso stove had a big crack across the top and the front cover kept falling out. One of my favorite FS cabins so far!

I love this cabin, down in its own little valley. It was scrupulously clean. We skied in last winter as well and it was cozy and brilliant.

Had a great stay at Ibex Cabin. There was a fair amount of wood in the shed and some on the porch of the cabin. I recall the axe head being quite loose, so heads up, literally. The recreation crew for the FS is doing a great job to keep these cabins open for the public to use.

Excellent destination. Cabin is very snug and cozy, views are fabulous. Cabin has few kitchen amenities, so be sure to bring everything you want yourself.

The approach to the cabin is straightforward along USFS access roads in the winter. Although we snowshoed in, I highly recommend skiing in as a quick and relatively moderate-effort means of getting into this cabin. The cabin itself is a wonderful, rustic accommodation with a Coleman cooking stove, gas lantern, and some minimal supplies (including toilet paper for the outhouse). Bring your own gas canisters (Coleman propane) for the stove. The only complaint about this cabin is the wood stove -- it is small, and does not produce much heat. If you are sitting around it in close proximity, it works well. I would have figured the USFS to install a larger wood stove upon constructing this cabin that would "fit" the room to be heated (especially as the cabin can be accessed via roads). If you are a "cold" sleeper, the winter night could be a cold one for you unless you keep the stove fed throughout the night and have a warm bag. All this said, the cabin is a great destination for a night on the threshold of the Crazies!

Great little cabin tucked up in the crazies. Much better skiing nearby than anticipated.

So fun! We ended up having to park the furthest distance away due to snow and an incoming storm (didn't want to risk coming back to a snowed in car), our teenager had a slow go of things so it look us about 3.5 hours to ski in (and 2.5 out) the full 5.5 miles. Cabin was well stocked and the trail in was also marked well. Looking forward to coming back! Note for the Cabin crew: great job! Love seeing your comments in the log as well. Just an fyi the log is almost full.. only a few empty pages left!

Great cabin. We stayed there for 3 nights in the middle of January. It was clean and stocked with plenty of firewood when we got there. We did some backcountry skiing. It was fun, but there was a significant amount of skinning over dead & downed trees. Be prepared for some long approaches if you plan on doing the same. Ibex cabin was a perfect place to stay for those nights.

Decent little cabin. It's pretty small, or as some would say "cozy". It wasn't as well stocked as other cabins we've been to, but we always bring what we need, just in case.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
