Nice night stay. Rented late in the fall with quite a bit of snow falling. Sat by the fire and played cards all evening.

Bring adequate firewood for the wood burning stove on cold nights as none, or very little, is available there.

Beautiful location and access to the river. Not the best access to trails or the most private, but it was a lovely place to stay.

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.
