As always, it was a really enjoyable experience. Plenty of wood and a nice morning of some snow to wake up to.

The stay was wonderful and the condition of the cabin was excellent. This was our first time this far up north so we had some etiquette faults- like not realizing the lack of phone coverage to keep the gps going. So we arrived in pitch black night and took a snowmobile trail in to later find out there is an actual paved road right out of the gate. That’s part of the adventure though!
The cabin itself was roomy and the larger sized bunk beds were a surprise for me and my partner. Many good meals cooked on the wood burning stove was a plus too. It was quite cold (and rainy) when we stayed so we couldn’t utilize the out door fire pit. If it were warmer weather we would have brought the kayaks to use on the lake just out front of the door but we opted to hike the trails close around. Lots of good views and quiet nature. There’s also a cabin log that many visitors write tips in, we used that to determine our best itinerary each day, but it’s up to you if you want to make your own adventure.
All in all, great stay, kept very warm and I will definitely book again.
