Love this cabin, spend a lot of time there. But when my girlfriend and I arrived the last "campers" had stuffed all their empty mountain house meal bags into the fireplace, lit them on fire threw some half smoked cigarettes on top and walked away. So the half burnt plastic remains gave the cabin a lovely smell with undertones of pre smoked cigs. Now, who ever you were to leave such for the next person let me educate you on something. 1st if you can't pack out a pound of trash you probably should stay home. 2nd if your too lazy to pack out your trash don't burn it inside the WOOD burning stove (It took hours of burning clean wood to burn out the smell and then scrub the garbage ash out of the stove so no one else had to deal with your laziness). But not to worry! My dog who weighs probably a quarter of what you do begrudgingly hauled your trash out for you.

Can't say anything about the cabin since we never got to see it. After a mile or two the trail was in terrible condition. Several places were washed out and eroded by the river or swallowed by the swamp. Wooden walkways and bridges were rotted and broken and at some points it seemed like the trail just ended due to the flooding and overgrowth. Regardless, my husband and I are experienced hikers and pushed through, but an enormous fallen tree put an abrupt stop to our journey very close to the end. We could have made it but neither of us wanted to wade hip deep in acrid green swamp water to get through. Very disappointing... If that trail was routinely maintained it would be a pleasant and easy hike without hardly any elevation gain or technicality to it. In its current state though, I would not recommend the enormous effort it took to get as far as we did only to have to turn back.
