Beautiful setting for this really nice cabin. Lots of downed wood around for the stove or campfire. We rowed the boat to the other end of the lake. Wind seems to pick up each afternoon making the trip back a little sketchy. Recommend rowing in the morning. I wish there was better lake access for the tent campers near by because their only access is to come over in front of the cabin by the boat and fire ring. Agree with previous reviewer that it would have been nice to have the dock in the water.

Super great! We were there 8/25-27 of 2021 and it is a beautiful cabin with LOTS OF SPACE! Downstairs: Table, benches, counter and shelf below for storage and cooking, plenty of hooks to hang gear, wood stove, a set of bunks, lots of floor room for gear storage out of the way, room for the movement of guests/kids and even anyone who wants to sleep on the floor, good windows. Upstairs: REAL STAIR CASE! No sketchy ladder of death! (plenty of Room under the stairs for gear storage out of the way) railings, 2 full/queen platform beds, 2 little windows, and plenty of room for extra guests/kids to sleep on the floor. There are sheets of wood provided to close off the staircase to help keep the heat downstairs in colder seasons. Outside amenities: Large porch, picnic table on porch, sqtaiprs and ramp to porch, board walk to outhouse not too far away, cabin is right on the lake and the pictures don't do the view justice! Shed with wood, saw and ax, row boat, outside fire pit and seating. THE CONS ARE FEW: On 8/25/2021 there was not a stock pile of any log rounds or chopped firewood. Just a large pile of dead/beetle kill branches and sticks. It was a large pile, but no real logs. The cabin could afford someone coming in on float plane or snowmachine with a chain saw to make it happen. If you come on float plane and need handicap access, you will find that the outhouse door will not open wide enough because the deck flooring to the OH has settled lower than the ramp/boardwalk leading up to it. So the door is stopped by the higher portion of decking. The door opens wide enough for a walking person to get in but not a wheelchair. Looking forward to staying again next summer!!

Been coming to Trout Lake for probably a decade. Love the location and cabin. PLEASE, PLEASE: Put the dock back in the water. Having a dock was a huge blessing for sunbathing, swimming and of course boat launching. Miss the dock, please return. Thank you

It's a beautiful and spacious cabin, and the location is really nice. It is also very well-kept, firewood and tools to cut wood are all provided. The 7-mile hike to it is pretty. The snow was packed during the time we went there, and weather was perfect. It would have been a five-star review except the wood stove was not working. We burned through a lot of firewood and Duraflame but the stove never got hot. I could put my palm on the stove and it was only lukewarm at best. It is also a pretty big cabin (two floors!) with a lot of glass windows so I'm sure that contributed to the difficulty in heating the cabin. Needless to say, it was a cold, sleepless night. Other than the wood stove issue, it is a lovely cabin though I would probably not recommend a winter stay here. I'm imagining that this would be a nicer stay during the summer. Other than the wood stove issue, it is a lovely cabin!

The stove gasket on the wood stove door needs repaired.
