Absolutely wonderful. The little fireplace kept us roasting all night long no problem.

Beautiful location, peaceful, trail to explore, great outdoor gathering area with firepit, picnic table, grill, etc. Be sure to bring an extra roll of TP for the outhouse -- it was about out.

This cabin is great. It's a nice size for a small group, and the surrounding area is beautiful. There were dispersed campers very close by, which meant noise (generator) and little feeling of solitude. But the meadow out front is amazing, as are the hills behind.

LOVED IT! We had such a great three days up at the cabin and hiking & snowshoeing around the trails! The road was still closed (end of March) and we pulled in our sled over mud for the first bit before getting to snow, but it was more than worth it. Highly recommend taking the road back rather than the trail when pulling a sled. As so many have said, the stove works great - sometimes too good and windows were opened! We will certainly be booking it again for a few days when we need to get out of service again!

Great scenery and location. Cabin was cozy and things were picked up for us. The road in was rough and would not recommend without 4 wheel drive. Lots of wildlife right outside our door and great to have the solitude away from others.

The cabin is around 22 miles out of Buffalo. It is maybe half a mile from the main highway but still feels isolated.
The cabin itself is very nice. No electric but didn’t matter to us. It was a cold raining day that we stayed there and fired up the wood stove and it was almost too hot in there by evening. Make sure you bring some led lanterns with you if you plan on doing anything after dark. It has a table and some chairs inside so that was nice. There were some supplies left over from previous renters but I would not count on anything extra being there. They give you cleaning supplies and brooms to clean it when done. Outside there was a fire ring, picnic table and then another park type charcoal grill if you wanted to use it also. There is plenty of deadfall around to go gather for firewood. There was some firewood for the inside of the cabin in a storage shed but not much. Agai. Don’t count on there being enough. The cabin is in the trees but by a meadow. We saw one deer but since the weather was not good didn’t expect much.
Nice cabin to stay at. Not that far from civilization but a good get away.

The cabin is well appointed and spacious. The gathering stew with grill, picnic table, and fire pit is a great addition as well. The bathroom was in pretty rough shape. It likely is used by hikers and others in the are. Nice that there are only a couple of campsites near by and miles and miles of xc ski / hiking trails just right out the front door. The only major drawback is that the road noise from the highway is very audible and fairly constant. Otherwise, it’s peaceful and nice!

Cute little cabin in the woods. It was a little bit hard to find in the dark. We had it on GPS or we never would have found it. In the daylight we would had been fine.
A fire in the wood stove took the chill off.
We enjoyed a little walk about in the morning before taking off.
