One of my favorite cabins to stay at in the winter! Easy to access, and great skiing opportunities.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL on Miller Creek in winters when you come here via snowmachine! Our snow machine fell through the ice on the creek, and we actually thought that we might die out there. After we turned to Miller Creek from the Pipeline Trail, we took the right side of Miller Creek to get to the cabin. However, we believe that we should have taken the left side of the creek (the left side seems to have more firm surfaces between the creek and the treeline) and then cross Vogel Lake to get to the cabin. We learned later that the creek never really freezes. The cabin itself is beautiful and cozy with a nice stove.
