Cabin could really use newer windows and a more efficient stove/heater. Cabin leaks out heat like a sieve. Stayed for 6 full days and burned through 7-1/2 gallons of kerosene, that’s even with turning heat to lowest setting all nights but 2. On those 2 nights we shut heat off completely to conserve to make sure we would have enough to last the trip. On lowest setting cabin is barely warm at all really only directly in front of and above heater, definitely not enough to dry out wet fishing gear. If sleeping on bed by table opposite of heater forget about feeling any heat at all. There is was too much air leakage around windows and door. It would be nice if the forest service or whoever is supposed to maintain these cabins actually maintained them instead of only caring about the runway. There was ice buildup in bottom of fuel tanks as always, never any firewood, but at least cabin was clean. I just wonder where all the $ that they get for renting these cabins goes??? There never seems to be any improvements to the actual cabins, and there is never any firewood stored under the wood sheds. After all that I will stay here again because it’s still better than tents in the fall. I may not stay at cabins that late in the year again though. We had to portage our rafts and gear over or around 3-4 log jams this year that has never been an issue until this year.
