The cabin was well maintained except for issues with the heater. I called and spoke with whomever also gave me the entry code. He provided some guidance, but we ultimately suffered with temperature control the entire night. There were many statements in the guest book about similar issues, so it really should be taken care of. Also, the bunk bed mattresses were extremely uncomfortable. Other than those two issues, we appreciated having a place to rest besides our tent. The location of the cabin was perfect and we enjoyed the quick walk to the shore to enjoy the sunset!

Clean, and a clean outhouse.
mattresses left a little to be desired, we put backpacking mattresses on top of the bed mattresses and we were fine

Awesome cabin. Greatly exceeded our expectations. Large, nice, and well kept. Very clean. Covered latrine nearby. Shore is very close and drinking water faucet is only about a mile away. Packed with amenities: screen porch, gas grill, indoor picnic table, outdoor picnic table, etc.

It's well worth the 3.1 mile hike in. Drinking water is close but the beach is closer. Listen to the waves as you hang out by the camp fire. The porch is beautiful place to relax after a long day of hiking or wait out the rain. Can't wait to visit again.
