We had a wonderful time at the cabins. There are signs leading all the way to the cabin from Route 33. Make sure to top the gas tank every chance you get. This is the wilderness & it's remote. The main cabin has a fridge, it worked the whole time we were there, but got replaced by a new one the day we were leaving. There is also a stove, but we didn't use it. The top burner did light, but we didn't try to light the oven. We cooked outdoors on the grill & over the fire. Water by hand-pump...need to pump hard & fast to get it going. Pond is a beaver dam. We didn't swim in it, but they did fish in it & caught some. Good swimming hole at Bemis. When researching we found a 3-mile one-way walk to a waterfall, but it is way further than that. Part of our group left too late & was unprepared, so we had to go in to get them and walk the 5 mi out the tracks to Bemis. The trail is rocky with tree roots. It's 1.5 mi up a mountain & 1.5 mi down the other side to the tracks, then another .5 mi to the falls. If you plan ahead & leave early could be a nice hike. We started in at 4pm to get the group out & arrived at our car in Bemis around 11pm. It wasn't a good time, but hey, we brought home a memorable story.

This was our first time at the cabins. We had a great time. The fireplace was really comforting at night. We loved having access to the trailhead from our site. Everything was clean and there were even dishes, a stove, a refrigerator, and places to hang lanterns. We will definitely be coming back next year and we will bring more lanterns. It was very peaceful and it was great to get away!

The bunk houses are usually rather dusty and musty, but the main cabin was fine - and the kitchen is better equipped every time we go. We have also contributed to it's contents. So nice to have firewood provided!
