A great place to be out in the great outdoors. The cabin has propane stove and wood is supplied for heating. Also the cabin is wired so a generator can be used.

Nice views with a clean interior. Plenty of wood stocked up inside, but we did all the cooking outside, so we found our own and split it up with the axe. Road was in good condition, and gate was open end of May. I would definitely stay here again.
