Please see our past review from September 18 2021 for more detailed info.
More below from our current stay.

For our current stay there is still no water available and the drain still just goes to a bucket.

We have Verizon and we got a little better signal this time of 1-2 bars 4G at the CCC camp.

Hooray! There is a brand new stove/oven now replacing the old unit where the oven did not work.

When we stayed previously wood was stacked by the fire pit. This time wood was stored in the building behind the cabin with access via a combination lock. Sadly people keep breaking the ax and splitting maul that the USPS supplies.

Brighter LED bulbs have been installed in the cabin.

Loved the cabin and the location. We were able to drive to the cabin despite snow, but I'd recommend having 4WD or chains. Otherwise it's about 1/2 mi walk to the cabin in the winter. Good cross country skiing out the door. Cabin is very basic but has most everything you need. Definitely a bonus to have electricity. No running water but there is a creek right next to the cabin.

Beautiful location and pretty easy to get to, even in winter, at least during our visit. Still plenty of solitude. There was ample snow for cross-country skiing, yet hikes were very doable as well. There was a fair amount of firewood and we kept the fireplace in the bedroom going as the low temp during our visit was -11F. The fireplace and down comforters kept us comfortable. The axe has seen better days and is one swing away from breaking. Next time we'll bring our own. The electric stove appeared brand new and worked well. No mice seen. We brought plenty of water. We really enjoyed the stay and look forward to visiting in different seasons. It was a great way to ring in the New Year!
