VerifiedJanuary 22, 2020 • Stayed at: 001, Loop: BASSAM CABIN
It was a beautiful location, the only negative came from just a change in weather, it was a very cold night followed by the first snow of the season. The snow was beautiful, but the wood stove requires a lot of attention to keep it going throughout the night, or else a better operator. But the location and the history was great!
