What Guests Are Saying

The Ninko Cabin offers a cozy atmosphere for guests. However, access can be challenging due to numerous trees blocking the road, requiring tools like an axe and shovel for snowmobiling. Overall, the cabin experience remains enjoyable despite these hurdles.

There are a lot of trees across the road. We spent hours building snow ramps and chopping trees. If a person is snowmobiling be sure to bring an axe, saw, and shovel.

Cabin was cozy like usual.

Excellent experience. Skiing was amazing. Cabin is really cool, just be prepared to share it with the local mice community.

This cabin is isolated but worth it if you have some decent snowmobiles to access it. Follow the sign for Ninko cabin, you’ll have to squeeze around a closed gate (or at least we did) to access the road up to it. The cabin is well maintained and has a separate out house. Wood is provided but you’ll have to replenish it so plan to bring your own as well like we did. It warms up nicely and the propane stove/oven works well for cooking. Note: if the propane isn’t working there is a master valve below the cabin. For us it was off when we arrived, but quick to turn on. We’d like to thank the forest service for making this cabin available to the public in the winter.

The setting is beautiful and the woodstove is really efficient and heats the cabin up without using much wood. The mattresses are pretty gross so I'd recommend bringing a sheet or something to put down under your sleeping bag. Silverware is also lacking.
