The cabin's location is excellent, despite being challenging to access due to weather conditions. Additional recent photos provide a better representation than those on rec.gov. Guests should be aware that dry wood may not be available and boat access could be limited.

The photos on rec.gov are not great so here are a few more recent ones. It's a hard cabin to get to due to location/weather, but it's a great location. Do not rely on having dry wood or access to the boat.
