Great place to stay if you don't quite want to camp in a tent but still want to be off grid. Its a charming small cabin built during the CCC days. It has propane but no electricity. There's a propane range and a propane fridge inside to use and a concrete fire ring in the back. There's also a small river in the back so be careful with small kids. We took our two girls there ages 3 and 10 months as our first "camping" experience and it was great.
