What Guests Are Saying
The Scaler cabin offers a peaceful stay with excellent recreational opportunities nearby, making it a great choice for winter activities like snowmobiling. However, guests should come prepared with extra fuel, water, and toilet paper, as these amenities can be lacking. While there were some issues with propane and noise from a large gathering, the overall experience remains positive, with many returning for future visits.

I absolutely love staying in the cabin. It sits close to the creek and right at the edge of the trees so it has an amazing view.

Everything was great. We really liked the fact that there was a new stove and there was water for doing dishes and showering.

Really enjoyed the location of Scaler, beautiful area. Everything was great. I was thankful we brought our own axe as well as extra wood. I would make sure to bring an axe or hatchet as there was not one there although they said there would be one. Also, make sure to bring a separate sheet or blanket to lay down over the mattress covers that are in the cabin. The mattress covers are dirty.
