“This is a magical place, I try to go every year on my birthday. Bring a head lamp the cabin is dark, fire starter, a chair, and your trout pole ! ”
“The cabin and the location are lovely, and all was clean with dryish wood available when we arrived. The stove needs new firebrick to reduce the amount of smoke it emits into the cabin, but other than that-- all is in great shape!”
“It was great, the cabin was stocked with dry firewood and some propane for the camp stove. ”
