Loved this cabin. Very comfortable and clean. We were able to raft to the cabin and keep the raft roped up on shore and then float from the cabin to Big Creek the next day. It is fun to walk to the Northern Lights Saloon for dinner and entertainment. Polebridge Merchantile is an outstanding bakery.

As always, Ben Rover is a wonderful experience. Two things need immediate attention. The oven does not stay on. And one of the single bed mattresses has a hole in it and is full of mouse turds. That is a serious health hazard, essentially making that room unusable.

Cabin was clean and information accurate. No surprises. Great location on the river with a large meadow right next door perfect for star gazing. Convenient to Park entrance and we had a great time cross country skiing up towards Kintla lake. Plan to come back, perhaps in a different season and hope to bring family or friends. The only challenge is the pot-hole riddled road to get there!
