Great cabin! Didn't seem to have any fish in the lake and the lake is not very deep. Still had floating ice in the lake on June 1st.

Summary
Swan Lake Cabin offers a beautiful setting with scenic views, easy lake access for boating, and cozy amenities like a wood stove. While some found the fishing lacking and the approach trail overgrown, the cabin's charm and comfort, along with opportunities for activities like canoeing and Bocci Ball, make it a favorite summer retreat. Improvements to the cabin's windows enhance the overall experience, providing more light and warmth.
