Lovely spot and nice cabin. The only issue was with the previous campers, who left garbage smoldering in the fire pit, beer cans, glass, plastic, Doritos bags etc. I packed it all out so that the next people didn't have that experience. It would be nice if the protocol for using the cabins included the "Leave no trace" motto, even though it is a cabin site.
