Great cabin. Fresh water right next to cabin was great, had to do ALOT of work on heater but got it working, still has a decent leak from valve in cabin though. Slept 6 of us comfortably (4 bunks 2 on cots). Saw plenty of wildlife. Will be coming back for sure.

This cabin gives the feeling of more privacy due to it's location. Getting in and out is a little more work especially if the tide is low. Oil heater is a plus. Caught plenty of crab right in front of the cabin.

The cabin is well kept up and in a great location scenic wise. We saw deer. We also saw bear and moose tracks in the area. We hiked the area.
As a kayaker, the location means that without a long haul of kayak & gear, you have to wait for high tide.
Did see a live bear just as we were leaving the Bay.
