This was totally a five star experience, except for the following:
There was tons of huge dried wood for an awesome wood stove, but no kindling. Bring something to start the fire with, and a hatchet to break those pieces down would serve you well.
The way to the cabin is so poorly marked! When there's the yellow gate on your left, that's the trail to the cabin. Keep going, park, and walk back to the road closure.
The cabin is really, really dark, even during the day. Bring more than one lantern.
The hand pump needs like 20 rapid pumps to prime, and a second person to hold the jug unless you have a bucket. I think maybe the water has tannins because it was yellowed, but tasted just fine.
The vault toilet smells awful. Bring TP if you want it. Or better yet, hike off a ways with a latrine shovel and enjoy the fresh air.
Now on to the amazing:
It's just beautiful there, quiet. Disturbing lack of wildlife near the cabin and we all had weird dreams...make of that what you will. The lake and plenty of trails are so close, we just loved it there.
We had no issues hiking in while carrying stuff. None of us are super fit, there are steep sections and you may need to move slower, but if you can walk up stairs without issue, you'll be fine.
There are two bunk beds, each is wide enough to sleep two average sized adults. If you camp with a sleeping mat, bring it, the mattresses provided are not comfortable to me.
There are two benches that seat 2 people each at the table, and three sturdy stools. There's a place to prepare food, a metal section of counter to put your hot stuff on, and a wood stove that, if anything, kept us too warm, and was easy to cook on. It was low 30's to mid 40's during our stay, there was snow when we arrived and patches remained when we left.
The firewood shed, for us, was completely packed with quality, dry wood.
We did not see another soul out there (early November), it's super quiet, we enjoyed the hiking, we enjoyed eating/reading/sitting on the beautiful and spacious porch, we enjoyed the picnic bench and fire pit right next to the cabin, and we enjoyed views of the lake, visible from the porch.
Totally a mom comment - but there are tons of hooks for hanging packs and coats, etc...I really appreciated that. There's a broom for sweeping up and a shovel for the snow. You need to have your own something to wipe off the counters/table/beds when you're done.
If you forgot anything, there's a general store about five miles away (turn left onto the main road and it'll be on your right after the Hiawatha cabins). They had quite a lot to choose from and the gentleman there was helpful and friendly.
