Useful details for guests besides what's covered on the official site:

Call the ranger station (check their hours!!!) or ask recreation dot gov customer chat for the combination lock code... ahead of time! The email that is supposed to contain the code just does not.

The stairs are about 50 super narrow steep steps with 3 landings including the top. You'll get used to it but your dog will sooo not want to climb them.

There is currently a small frying pan, 2 pots, a strainer pot, can opener, kettle, very few plastic utensils, salt/pepper, dish soap, oil. 4 burner stove, small oven, small fridge with freezer. Cleaning supplies including broom.

Propane heater works but is finicky to start (go to pilot, press hard, jiggle knob until you're sure it's as far down as it can go).

String lights use AA batteries (6).

Bed has plastic cover, no bedding.

A TON of reading material: visitors logs! Also puzzles and uno.

The pulley system for gear is just a small milk crate on a rope you pull up... Still useful.

Others mentioned mice but none in February 2024!
