Always a slog on the way in but it’s worth the way food tastes when you get there. Cabin heats up nice and the people before us left a nice amount of wood to compliment what we hauled. Left a good pile for the next person as should be done on a non motorized year. Will return to the cabin when ever I get a chance.

We have stayed here in the winter twice now and it is a fantastic little cabin! Just an FYI, the stove is pretty skinny and only fits a couple logs at a time. There are also lots of windows, so if the fire goes out, it gets cold quickly. The river is also nearly impossible to access in the winter due to snow load, so bring plenty of drinking water. Every other year snow machines are allowed on the trail and this year they were allowed which made the trail really nice for skiing/snowshoeing out. Highly recommend this cabin!

Cabin was clean, good wood supply, nice hatchet for splitting wood. The top bunks are too close to the ceiling.
