Cozy location and well-kept cabin. Even comes with a gas grill

Cozy location and well-kept cabin. Even comes with a gas grill

(Merchant) Nice cabin, albeit without electricity or water. To reach the cabin there's a decent trail, and it's less than a mile from the ferry landing. You can rent a wagon to haul your gear. Gas grill is very nice, and it's inside the screened-in porch. We enjoyed it, and it was relaxing and restful after a few days of strenuous back country canoeing in Sylvania Wilderness. The lakeshore is nice, and we went for a short swim. We might go back with some friends after the pandemic is over. There's lots of room.
Only gripe is that it's quite close to the trail, so you see and hear a few passers-by, which is related to the one other problem--which is really irritating during the pandemic--that some of them want to use the cabin's outdoor privy. It seemed to us that certain groups knew of it in advance and approached it without hesitation, as though its location had been shared beforehand... but when we informed them it was private, they were all polite and didn't complain. We finally posted our own sign on the door to ward people off. The owners haven't done that. Probably they are afraid if they do people will get mad and vandalize the place.

The cabin was clean, well maintained and peaceful. Firewood is supplied. Excellent place and island is beautiful.

Wonderful experience.

Wonderful experience.

We all had a wonderful time staying on the island! The ferry folks are super friendly and helpful. The cabins were super spacious and comfortable. The grill made life so much easier when rain ruined our dinner plans on the fire one night. Before we made it off the island, we were already planning for next year. The north side of the island was absolutely beautiful and we recommend making the trek up there. It was an absolutely amazing experience.
