We usually come for rifle season and live in a tent for 3 weeks, The cabin was absolutely perfect for muzzleloader season, definitely would use the cabin again.

Was advertised that there was potable water there-- it was shut down, as was the water at the nearby campground, so we had to find a spring, and filter all of it. We expect a partial refund for this, but "good luck on that one", I suppose. No screen on back window (to get some cross ventilation), but we luckily brought some of our own to cover the window to open it. Screen door had an inch gap on top and side, letting bugs in, and screens on windows were not attached, so they fell out. Yes, propane oven worked well, as did the solar-powered lighting, which was great. Not a fan of the "integrated pillow" mattresses. Unannounced 80-horse camp-out next to cabin took us an extra hour to get 300 yards down road across bridge when we tried to leave! Don't know if we'll be back, after being there a number of times over the last 25 years.

Cabin was great as always with the exception of the new wood stove since the last time I was there. It took a full 24 hours to get the cabin warm. It is very hard to keep a fire going once there is some ashes in the bottom. It needs to be cleaned every day. The dampers on the bottom of the stove seem to not make any difference. Other than that it was still a great time.

Fantastic cabin! We spent New Years at the cabin and really enjoyed it. It was plenty warm and the new wood stove put in last summer worked great. There wasn't much snow and we were able to drive right to the cabin. I think they normally say you can only get within a mile in the winter, but even that might be a bit of an exaggeration - it's about 200 yards from the county road to the cabin.
