Love this cabin. Only downside is that the falls is a popular place for cohos and people that like to go fishing. There was a boat already there when we pulled up to unload our cabin gear and the trail that people use to walk up the falls goes right next to the cabin. So if youre looking for a very secluded cabin this might not be the one for you. The fishermen didnt come back the next day so we had the place to ourselves which was wonderful. We hiked the .4 trail to the boat tie off and took the little John boat up the creek about a mile. Didnt see any moose, deer or bear. There was however a friendly mouse that we failed to catch. Make sure to use the food box outside the cabin to store all your food goods. It was a very clean cabin and thankful for people who leave extra things behind like coffee filters, paper towels, toilet paper for the outhouse, an extra tarp and seasonings. We brought some firewood and left a bit in the woodshed. Youll want to head in at high tide.

Great location. Skiff above the rapids has a leak. Mice in cabin. Beautiful location. Love the spot. Nice to have steel cage for coolers for protection against bears. Nicely kept up cabin.

The cabin was nice with new table and interior paint (thanks USFS cabin crew), although there was a foul smell coming from underneath the cabin. I imagine it was a dead critter. The scenery as always was beautiful but having been coming to this cabin intermittently for 20 years, the fishing is not what it used to be. Finding transportation via air or boat is becoming more difficult as well.

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.

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.
