The cabin is in a lovely location with wonderful views. It would have been helpful if the cabin description or local office staff could have given specific information about the location and condition of the available water. Also, it would have been nice to know that the hike from the trail junction into the cabin was significant downhill on the way in.

A beautiful old cabin. Everything necessary was there, and no problems.

It's a very nice cabin. It was clean AND had a wood supply, for which we were very grateful, as we got in late. The view, as reported by others, is stunning.

We snowmobiled in and used the cabin as a warm spot, brought our chainsaw in and cut a bunch of wood for others to burn.
