Wonderful, cabin. Lots of beds, and stayed plenty warm with the wood stove. Will be back.

The Porcupine Cabin is awesome! Plenty of firewood and the cabin holds heat really well! No mice were spotted. Bring your own propane if you want to use the 2-burner stove. We had a great time! The road getting there was pretty rough after the first snow of the year.

Beautiful location! We were asked to leave due to weather and flooding in the area but we are already booking our next trip. Great area for kids to play. Clean and comfortable!

The Porcupine Cabin is a large cabin in a nice area. The cabin has 3 rooms and a nice wood stove. The cabin is fairly well sealed, but there are some mice in the walls and attic and the occasional mouse that will run across the floor at night, so keep your food and trash well stored. The cabin has a large lovely porch. There is no reliable water source nearby, so bring plenty of water. Bears frequent the area, so don't leave any food or attractants unattended. Lots of interesting owls swoop around the area at dusk.

Awesome place to stay in any weather.
The year round beauty is majestic no matter the season.
It’s easy to sleep peacefully and the old fashion wood burning stove keeps you toasty cozy through the night.
Many Thanks to Rangers and volunteers who keep our heritage history alive for future generations to enjoy!
Sincerely
Ashley Gorman
Lord willing I’ll be back again next year.

This is a fantastic cabin. We traveled on January 11 and were able to drive to the cabin, however it snowed overnight and it would have been tougher to drive by the 12th. There are beds for 8 people in two bedrooms. Lots of wood storage in the cabin. The splitting maul was broken in the wood shed, but we were able to make do. Great outdoor fire pit area. Indoor wood stove kept us toasty warm all night. Be sure to bring extra TP! The vault toilet ran out, so we left our extra TP for the next guests. There are a few pots for boiling water/humidification, but you'll need to bring your cooking supplies.

Wonderful, spacious cabin with hiking trails right out the door. The pit toilet was nicer and cleaner than many at other cabins we've visited.

Was cold and snowy. After a slight cleaning & getting some kindling we had the cabin comfortable.
