We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Fremont Point cabin. The views are spectacular and the road in is good. Some things to consider for your trip:1. We could not get the code to open the lock--no matter what line on the lock we used--and had to enter the cabin through a window. Please note: we used this same code in the lock at Bald Butte on the following day and it opened without any trouble, so not operator error, I think. We will report this to the Paisley FS station.2. There are only two dining chairs and one is too low to eat comfortably at the table.3. We replaced two gas lamp mantles but extras could be useful if you want to bring some. (We purchased ours at the Summer Lake Store.)4. The only cleaning supplies are Clorox and a very small amount of liquid disinfectant spray. Also, the Swiffer needs replacement pads.

Great cabin with fantastic views! Well stocked with propane, wood and kitchen supplies.

The cabin itself was wonderful and quite spacious. Considering the amount of use it receives and its easy accessibility, it was in good shape.Here are a few things to keep in mind:1. The lock might not align where you expect it to. If the combination doesn't work on the first try, try it on another line.2. It's a good idea to bring basic supplies like toilet paper and, if possible, mantles because about half of them had holes.3. Make sure to restock the wood and set up the fireplace so that it's ready to light. This is particularly important during the winter season. In the logbook, there were several stories of groups having to stay unplanned nights and struggling to get the fire started.

Beautiful stay- easily the nicest/cleanest lookout we have stayed at. Couldn’t get the oven to work, but that might have been user error. Stove worked great. Drive in was easy and well-marked, only about 30-40 minutes off the main road. Pretty drive. Some people seemed to have not picked up their dog poop, which was kinda yuck… still, overall, it was a great stay! Hope to be able to go again someday.

It's not accessible due to snow. I had to cancel the reservation.

Awesome cabin, incredible view, tons of snow and wind. The trail isn’t well marked, do not head out without a GPS map and backup battery. We would have gotten lost multiple times without it. The wind on winter ridge is relentless. We underestimated how deep the snow would be and how exhausting snow shoeing in powder is. There are a couple entries in the journal at the cabin of people that ended up stopping halfway at the warming shelter for the night. Seems like there are not enough reviews left online to give a realistic picture of what a winter excursion could look like. Be prepared to spend the night in the woods if necessary. The road was plowed on our way in but with a few inches of fresh snow over the weekend and lots of wind there were snow drifts blocking our way out. We had an amazing weekend, the cabin and view is really incredible. That being said, it was truly the grace of God that got us in and out and off the road. Be safe and be prepared! Also, the door handle to the cabin is on its last leg. Seems like maybe the door has frozen over (was almost frozen when we arrived) and the handle has taken a beating. I left a message for the FS contact so hopefully it gets fixed before too long. Would hate for someone to get locked in or out. Would be nice if there was a small set of tools at the cabin. We are looking forward to our next visit but it will be when we can drive in.

The view is amazing as ever. Unfortunately, the experience of skiing to the point from Sycan Butte has grown more and more unpleasant. The first 5 miles of the 10 mile trip have been ruined by a cat or truck. Last year only 3 miles were destroyed by the same vehicle. Once there is a melt thaw, you are skiing in a deep frozen trench. Once at the cabin, the same splitting axe is in the shed…totally destroyed edge from people splitting wood on the rocks. After going yearly, think this winter was my last. Too bad it isn’t managed for users better.

The views from this cabin are AMAZING! It is clean, the beds are comfortable and there is plenty of firewood to stay warm when it snows in May!

Fabulous cabin! Ski in was well-marked. (Driving directions could read: from Silver Lake drive south on East Bay Road, which turns into NF 28. High clearance vehicle required in winter. Park past the Sycan power station; this is as far as the road is plowed.) Snotel read 17 inches, which is minimum required for a ski in. Took us 5 hours in (some trail breaking) and 2.5 hours out (crust cruising). Cabin was wonderful: spacious, light, great woodstove and plentiful wood. Propane cooktop and frig. We skied north and south along the rim; better snow to the north but great views all around. Will return if we can!

Warning - roads and sno park NOT plowed as stated in facility driving directions. Prepare to get stuck in snow, spend two nights in your car and never make it to the cabin! I called the Silver Lake Ranger Station prior to my attempt and was told, falsely, that I could “drive most of the way there.” I checked snotel and discovered there was 10 inches of snow recorded. Fine. I can ski 10 miles in those conditions. But with unplowed roads I’d have to ski 5-8 miles to the sno park to even begin my 10 mile trek in. After this debacle of failing to get to the cabin, I met the snowplow driver on road 28, which he had plowed to the beginning of 2916, stopped and TURNED AROUND. He told me the Forest Service guys “never even come up there” and that his contract is to plow to the Sycan Substation. Which, btw, he did not do that day. A wholly frustrating experience. Could easily have been prevented by USFS providing accurate information in this listing. This is my 7th cabin/lookout rented thru Rec.gov and most listings have incomplete and inaccurate info. So, there ya go.

The cabin had propane lights (might want to bring some mantels), stove, and a refrigerator! There was ample wood and the bed was honestly pretty comfy. Took a 10 mile hike in, and definitely requires snow shoes, but once there it is a beautiful view of Summer Lake and the valley below. Took about 6.5 hours up without our snowshoes post holing, whoops, and about 5.5 hours down.You can cut some time off the hike if you can navigate well, and go cross country instead of following the road, (must be a good navigator!). The forest service office out there is super friendly and extremely helpful, they gave us tons of information for the hike and great spots to check out in the area, definitely would come back again!

We were plenty warm with a fire in the wood stove as we enjoyed the beautiful views from the ridge, cozy even with the wind trying to pry off the roof. Glad to store our leftovers from Cowboy Dinner Tree in the fridge so we had plenty of food to enjoy when we returned from the day's hikes. We brought our own pots and pans though we could have scraped by with what was available. Next time we will bring something to cover up the windows for privacy, though not too many people come up the trail from the lookout point. Thank you to the forest service for giving us access to such a nice cabin.

@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!!!
