This little cabin is everything I had hoped for! It has no electricity, vault toilet...but the VIEW! The stars are PHENOMENAL! 11/10. It needs some paint and some brush/tree clearing after the last years winter storms but I loved it so much! It has a special place in my heart now! The cabin and restroom is accessible, but I will warn you from Loeb to the forest road is a 1 lane paved road, and the forrest road has some pretty significant pot holes/ruts, so your GPS will tell you it's about an hour from town, but plan on 1.5 hours as you won't be able to go 25mph. I drove a mini van and I was just fine, but during rainy season I would recommend a truck or 4x4. There is a cute and sturdy tree swing, a great back porch, a cute little Koi pond with newts, and some amazing old growth that survived the fire. It's sad to see how much burned a few years ago, but the cabin held strong. Keep your ears peeled for the chirps of frogs in the nearby stream, count shooting stars, and turn off your phone. The only alarm you need here is the sun! Bring more water and wood than you think you'll need though as we almost ran out! The elevation is over 2000 ft so if your a coastal person like we are you are more prone to dehydration and fatigue due to the higher elevation. But have fun and be nice to her because we're definitely coming back <3

This is remote, rustic, and fantastic! Can it use a new coat of paint? Yes. But what do you expect with a cabin that is 90 years old and survives a wildfire?! We enjoyed heavy rains (porch had leaks but main cabin was perfectly dry). We enjoyed frostbitten mornings (keep the stove stocked and you will stay plenty warm). We enjoyed pushing our children on the swing and watching the goldfish in the pond. The view was phenomenal and the mountain peaks were covered in snow. Many wonderful memories have been made and we will be back.

We like to rent Packers Cabin for our annual deer hunt. I would give Packers Cabin a much better review if the Forest Service would do the maintenance which it badly needs. The roof is missing some shingles and could probably use a new roof as it's been over 30 years since it had a new roof. The siding has fell off on the south end of the building down low exposing the outer floor joist. It's been like this for over 5 years and now the floor joist has rot. There are mice running around in the attic and in the walls, which is disturbing. They are probably entering from where the siding has deteriorated. The cabin also needs a good coat of paint. The paint is disappearing all over. We love Packers Cabin and are afraid that if repairs are not done soon it will become a major expense to fix.

I cannot believe that this cabin is being rented. It reeks of rodent urine, is infested with rodents, and we found trash left behind from previous users. We refused to stay even the first of our three nights because we could hear quite large rodents moving within the walls. I am going to request a refund because no one should be expected to sleep in such filthy conditions. The photos of the cabin are very old and do not accurately represent the shabby state of disrepair it is currently in. The walls are streaked with greasy rodent tracks! I am an experienced backpacker and have slept many a night with rodents nearby, but I've usually had a tent to keep them away while I slept. There was no point in bringing a tent because I had rented a cabin, but I wouldn't have been comfortable with rodents walking over my face in my sleep. The Gold Beach Ranger office staff ought to be ashamed of the state of this cabin and it needs to be taken off the reservation site until it has been brought up to code.

I loved it there. Only down side was that given the time of year there wasn't very much wood for the fire place. It says not to bring wood with you but had I not brought wood I would have ran out and been VERY cold. Other than that we had a GREAT time!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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!!!
