Stayed at the Sunset Cabin. Super nice. The site was well ordered. The cabin was excellent, clean, and exceeded expectations in every way. The site was great. Highly recommended. I can not imagine a better experience. BTW the fire ring was the best.

We loved our stay! The cabin was perfect and the steps to the beach are very close. The sunset was amazing.

One little scratchy mouse tried to get in on night two; and forced the top bunkers to find mom on the bottom. We couldn’t (aka were scared when it didn’t turn on right away) get the heater thing figured out so we had some good nighttime snuggle fests and very brisk mornings.

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.
