The cabin was beautiful and the setting was far enough away from the main trail to provide a sense of privacy. It was clean and comfortable!

The cabin is just a mile from the ferry, and set back off the trail. It was spacious, and clean. The grill was very nice to have there in the screened in porch.
The subtraction of one star comes from:
•the pit toilet. It was way too full and in desperate need of an emptying. Several times we rode to the ferry landing to use the cleaner pits there.
•There was no wood available as advertised.
•we could have used another bench or chairs for outside.
The island was beautiful, and the cabin was a nice way for me (too old to sleep on the ground) to be able to enjoy it. There are plenty of little places to enjoy views and the water.

This cabin far exceeded my expectations. I had rented it as a back up plan in case of rain and planned to store my gear there as I went about on the island. The spot was so great that I ended up staying there the whole time
