There was no kindling, split wood or access to dry wood. 3 pieces o f kindling on porch in water bucket. Very large rounds by fire pit very wet from 3 days rain wood shed was locked one not sharp hatchet and a splitting maul.
Having rented cabins last year would have liked to been notified of potential price increase in time to respond. Read log book people not happy about it.
Loved the porch and cabin had a very nice stay, was clean and no mice.

Please see our past review from September 18 2021 for more detailed info.
More below from our current stay.
For our current stay there is still no water available and the drain still just goes to a bucket.
We have Verizon and we got a little better signal this time of 1-2 bars 4G at the CCC camp.
Hooray! There is a brand new stove/oven now replacing the old unit where the oven did not work.
When we stayed previously wood was stacked by the fire pit. This time wood was stored in the building behind the cabin with access via a combination lock. Sadly people keep breaking the ax and splitting maul that the USPS supplies.
Brighter LED bulbs have been installed in the cabin.

Loved the cabin and the location. We were able to drive to the cabin despite snow, but I'd recommend having 4WD or chains. Otherwise it's about 1/2 mile walk to the cabin in the winter. Good cross country skiing out the door. Cabin is very basic but has most everything you need. Definitely a bonus to have electricity. No running water but there is a creek right next to the cabin.
