Turner lake is beautiful! Although the cabin didn’t have any close trails to go to, it was still enjoyable. I will say, if you want to have fires you need to bring dry wood. Everything there is wet! It’s a rain forest. I think if I go to turner again I’d go to the west cabin. There’s more to see over there. Overall it was a great experience

Cabin was clean and most importantly kept most the mosquitos out! It was hard to find wood and was very wet to get a fire started. The fuel for the heater was full yet a small leak was noted and needs to be fixed. The scenery is stunning and oars for the boat work well. Would need to bring a small motor to really explore the lake. We fished but did not caught any.
