We really enjoyed our trip to this cabin. The outhouse was very clean. We would have rated it 5 stars if it would have been stocked with firewood. Expecting it to be stocked, we did not bring tools to cut our own. The propane heater in the cabin did not work either and it was cold in September, so we resorted to driving around, picking up wood pieces that would fit in the wood stove.
