Cabin would be warmer if the open ceiling was closed off.
Meat shed gets too warm.
Bunks need pads.
Fuel oil drum for stove needs some way to know what the level of fuel is.
Would be nice to be able to contact people who are there just before you to ask questions about what is needed at the cabin.

Great cabin. Had a brand new oil drip stove that worked great. Had plenty of space to put gear food and all your other miscellaneous stuff. Had a cribbage board that helped pass the time when the weather was rough.

Very nice accommodations.
With salmon in the water, be very bear-aware of your surroundings around the cabin and the top end of the lake. Respect the wildlife and give them plenty of room.
Great escape location to get away from technology and take in the environment.

We hiked upstream about 1 mi and located a small waterfall. We also used a pack raft to explore the lake. With the pack raft we went through the short stream of the outlet into another lake. We crossed this lake, went through the short stream connecting another small lake. At the stream flowing out of this lake we pulled the pack raft to the shore and could hear another waterfall. We hiked a couple hundred yards and there it was.
Since the small streams connecting the lakes didn't have salmon in them we suspected the lower falls were blocking the salmon from making it upstream.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- 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.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days 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.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
