We enjoyed alpine lake fishing, dinner at the Corner Bar, trip into Cinnabar, and relaxing at the cabin. The airstrip traffic did not bother us. One of the baseboard heaters in main room would not turn off, so it did not cool down as much as we would have liked for sleeping.

It was our first time visiting JCGS-what a beautiful spot! The cabin itself is really pretty but could use some upgrades and a really good cleaning. There is plenty of room in the cabin and a huge area outside. There is a flag in the yard but needs a solar light installed so it can be lit up at night. The cabin has everything you need-refrigerator, stove, sink, bathroom and even a shower! Bad planning for the toilet-you can barely sit on it because it is so close to the hot water heater (but still nice to have indoor plumbing). The river is across the street (kind of steep and have to go through the bushes to get to access) but if you want to go fishing or swimming, you are better off taking a drive over to Ice Hole Campground. My Hubby caught 1 trout and 3 salmon at Ice Hole. There are lots of mosquitoes & ants in the area and be warned lots of CHIPMUNKS-you can hear them in the walls at night. Yes there are planes flying over but they are really cool to watch. I am not complaining-the area is AMAZING ..I just want people to know what to expect if they do rent the cabin. Enjoy your stay!
