February 2021; temps dipping down to -20.
The cabin is very drafty and was missing some "insulating" moss. We replaced the moss in some of the holes, placed a plastic bag at the bottom of the door to block the cold air, but there's only so much you can do. The stove kept it warm except for the floor.
We had a great time there!

We had a great time as always. We brought wood with us but there was plenty of wood there. The previous occupants did not clean up too well and were there when we arrived at the cabin at 1pm. No problems and a great time. Certainly will be back again and again.

This is a very nice cabin. We rode our snow machines to the cabin. We brought our cross country skis with us and did some skiing. Hiked up the hill and around the area. The cabin has a nice wood stove that keeps the cabin more than toasty except in the wee hours when the fire has died then it gets a bit chilly. Always have a great time here!
