We had an amazing time! The cabin was clean and perfect for the night. Easy to book and overall great experience. Thank you!

Cabin was so peaceful nestled beside the river. We had bluebird days with an incredible view of glacier. We will definitely be back!

This is probably the best place to provide information for the new comer like we were. We were trying to find out what is #1 stove oil (for heating) before we went but couldn’t find it anywhere online.

We were at Haines the night before and we asked 5+ people and only 2 of them could tell me it is #1 diesel and we should be able to buy it from gas station. Unfortunately the gas stations were already closed and we ends up getting the coleman camp fuel from Outfitter Sporting Goods. I still don't know what is #1 diesel as the gas station sells #2 diesel for car and truck. LUCKILY THE COLEMAN CAMP FUEL ALSO WORK.

The cabin is mainly maintained by campers like us and it is clean. There is a heating stove inside, so you could cooking on it if you don’t have other cooking equipments (or you can use the fire pit outside.) There is an instruction book for the stove and visitor log books from previous campers. They provide useful information.

There is a big axe for chopping wood so you don’t need to bring one as instructed. There is another fire pit near the river so that you could keep yourself warm sitting near the river. There are firewood near the cabin and I guess the U.S. Forest Service prepare that but it is getting less and less. We couldn't find the wooden box for food storage (the information said there was), so you might want to use an alternative solution like hanging your food high using a rope or something. There are small streams nearby so if you have water filtering equipment, you don't have to bring that much water like us. 😅

We have not met any bear near the cabin when we were there (but we met one while waiting for train pick up), but we saw a porcupine in the morning. The glacier is nice and there is enough time to hike up to the base and stand at the bottom of the glacier, just make sure you pick a safe path and don’t stand too close or under the ice. We have heard loud bangs when ice melted and broke off.

Been coming here for 32 years and the cabin is in the best shape ever. A wonderful location, easy access and great place to bring friends and family. Thanks to Packer Expeditions for all of their trail work!

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
