My wife and I stayed in this cabin 15 years ago. I brought my two kids with me this time. We saw a moose 15 minutes after arriving. Very memorable experience. Cabin was clean and well taken care of.

The setting is beautiful, and the bunkhouse is sweet. With another cabin just yards away, and the outhouse right next to that cabin, it is awkward when the main cabin is occupied with 5 or more people. No biggie, but if I rented again, I would want to rent both at the same time, and share with friends, not complete strangers.

Nice cozy cabin. Clean. One soft bed. One firm. Had to take logs to chop from the main cabin because there wasn’t any at the bunkhouse.
