Great Cabin and experience! We go to this same cabin every few years and it just gets better every time! The hike was sad due to all the burn area but getting better every year. Thanks for another great time!

Lots of snow machine tracks on a non-motorized year. Impacted the trail/skiing. Cabin was great.

11/1 - 11/2/22 Cabin was in great shape. Lake was frozen but small feeder creeks around lake were easy to get water from. There was plenty of kindling wood in cabin and in woodshed but no extra split wood for wood stove (I split one night's worth before leaving). There is a great hand saw to cut rounds, an okay hand saw to limb with, and two splitting mauls. Lots of dead and down trees from Swan Lake fire near cabin to cut for fire wood

Walked in from bean creek, the new construction access makes it much simpler to drive in to the trail. Still lots of downed dead wood from the fire and beetle kill so acquiring wood is easy. The lake was in the process of freezing while we were there so we weren't able to ice skate very much but the northern lights were a bonus!

Although the cabin itself is beautiful, the forest all around the cabin (~ 2 mi radius) is burned, not very picturesque at all. All around the lake is a burn zone, no wildlife barely any birds. Two canoes and paddles in good shape.
