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.

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.
