Amazing cabin. Slept 8 with ease. Stove kept us plenty warm. Bring bug spray as the nats and flies are terrible in September. Lots of bears to view across the bay.
Highly recommend this cabin

I left early and wish there was a way to cancel and get your money back after you have checked in. Cabin was great. Stove worked well. I can’t believe how dumb some people are when they complain about there not being sleeping pads and there not being a chef of staff etc. It’s apparent many reviews are written by folks who aren’t from around here.

Cabin was very nice and comfortable. If it’s cold out just need to make sure to bring some extra heating oil .

I know the cabin and location well from multiple uses over the years. This year it wasn't great because of the FILTH of the cabin and cache. We cleaned and disinfected for hours and dealt with an abundance of garbage from previous users.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
