I may have missed it in the description, but the location of the cabin is immediately obvious.
Would be nicer if people would take all their junk away, but I'm sure the long pack back to the beach is a factor!

This is a small and very remote cabin. When we visited it the first week in Sept. 2022, it was a pigsty both inside and out from recent visitors leaving trash and old food all over the place. This is heartbreaking to see because these cabins are such a wonderful resource. We cleaned up the cabin, trimmed the vegetation obstructing the view of the river from the cabin and left a pile of dry firewood for the next group. Please take care of these wonderful cabins!
