Elevation6286 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryDense lodgepole pine forest surrounds the cabin, with a cleared pasture providing space for the stock corral. The setting is quiet and green in summer, with deer and other wildlife moving through the trees. Views extend into the broader Bridger-Teton high country. One visitor noted the cabin's isolation: "it's just a single cabin with a good plot of land," not a cluster of rentals. Dust from nearby Greys River Road can settle on the site during dry spells.

Lodging & AccommodationsThe cabin features a rustic design with propane heat, lights, wood stove, refrigerator, and furnishings. It sleeps six guests in three bunk beds with mattresses. "The FS has done a great job of keeping it close to what it looked like when it was built in the 1930's" (user review).
