Great cabin. it is big enough to take a big group with a large loft. The only issue we had was with the stove. it worked well, but the stove pipe leaked causing some smoke in the loft area. stove pipe should be fixed for safe air in the loft area.

This is a great cabin. We had very stormy weather but still could roam and boat around and explore the area and had a wonderful time. The wood was stocked good and the cabin and outhouse clean!

This cabin was the ultimate get away for me and my 3 friends. With four there was more than enough room to hang and sleep, the bear box was big enough to store 3 rubber made containers and our yeti cooler. just be aware that the tides can drain out up to 100 ft from the cabin front door.
