Trout Lake Cabin offers a beautiful setting with easy access to the lake and abundant wildlife, including a memorable moose sighting. Guests appreciate the clean accommodations, fun boating opportunities, and the cozy loft. While the hike can be muddy and the toilet lacks paper, overall experiences are positive, and many express a desire to return.

This is a wonderful cabin. There were four of us and three dogs, but the cabin has a two-story floor plan, which means there was plenty of room for everyone and all our stuff.

Trout Lake is our absolute favorite public use cabin. It is HUGE, with a nice big upstairs loft that has 2 double beds and plenty of floor space for sleeping.
The lake and mountain views are fantastic, and the cabin is 10/10.
The trail to the cabin was flooded by beaver activity, but there was a pretty easy way around it.

The stove gasket on the wood stove door needs repaired.

It's a beautiful and spacious cabin, and the location is really nice. It is also very well-kept, firewood and tools to cut wood are all provided. The 7-mile hike to it is pretty. The snow was packed during the time we went there, and weather was perfect. It would have been a five-star review except the wood stove was not working. We burned through a lot of firewood and Duraflame but the stove never got hot. I could put my palm on the stove and it was only lukewarm at best. It is also a pretty big cabin (two floors!) with a lot of glass windows so I'm sure that contributed to the difficulty in heating the cabin. Needless to say, it was a cold, sleepless night. Other than the wood stove issue, it is a lovely cabin though I would probably not recommend a winter stay here. I'm imagining that this would be a nicer stay during the summer. Other than the wood stove issue, it is a lovely cabin!

Been coming to Trout Lake for probably a decade. Love the location and cabin.
PLEASE, PLEASE: Put the dock back in the water. Having a dock was a huge blessing for sunbathing, swimming and of course boat launching. Miss the dock, please return. Thank you
