We absolutely loved this place and we will return next year. A nice getaway; not too far. Cold at night and cool in the day. Great for outdoor family activities: volleyball, horseshoes, etc. The nearby creek is cold but refreshing to jump in and rinse off or just hang out and drink beer. The cabin is cozy. BRING TONS OF DEET. There are more mosquitos near this cabin than in the entire state of Wisconsin. I have never seen such a clear sky at night. Enjoy, enjoy, ENJOY!

Fun place for a group camp out as long as the camp hosts are not rude people.

Great location, especially the proximity to the ocean with great beaches and hiking, We have found mosquito's to be problematic even when we were there in Sept. We really enjoy staying at the Ludlum House but the last visit, at times we didn't feel safe because of numerous instances of gunfire in close proximity. Of course when I e-mailed the Forest Service District Ranger to let him know I got no response. So much for "caring for the land and serving people".

I gave this a high review because the house was awesome. I did not like how close it was to the campground. My husband and I went all over the area including a hike to Vulcan lake. My family will definitely go back.

It was the perfect weekend get away! Weather was ideal one day of good weather and a nice rainy day by the fireside. Upstairs was cold this time of year at night in October but the fire heated the downstairs perfectly so we just stayed down there with enough room. I have AT&T and had no service which was perfect just downloaded some movies to my IPad and that’s what we used during our rainy day activity. The campground was quiet and wasn’t busy. The trails around the house were well kept and nice even the creek was a relaxing place to be. Can’t wait to go back!
