This is a great location for those who want to experience the solitude of the wilderness without backpacking. It is so nice to have the boat available to use, although with whitecaps on the lake we chose not to this trip. There are days of wonderful hikes nearby as well. The perfect cabin for us.

Unfortunately, too much ice for us to take the boat over there but not strong enough ice to walk. Couldnt make it to the cabin and not able to get a refun. :(

We love this place! Maybe our 7th or 8th time to this cabin. The Guests before us left no trace behind except and warm fire;)
