We enjoyed our stay at Juneau lake cabin. There may or may not be a small ant problem-we noticed shavings from the wood ceiling in the floor as evidence that something was burrowing in the wood…just thought I’d mention it in case others had noticed it too. This did not impact our stay.

Walked in from the Bean Creek trailhead, our “2nd annual shakedown trip” to prep for summer multi day trips and Juneau lake cabin did not disappoint! While there isnt a lot of standing dead firewood to cut, we didnt freeze at night. The views are amazing! Just keep in mind this cabin is on a hill and freezing conditions during the winter can make access interesting if it’s the good ol’ polished ice of later winter. Regardless, Juneau Cabin is sure to satisfy and the views will absolutely impress!!

We loved our time at Juneau Lake Cabin on the Resurrection Pass Trail! The cabin is beautiful and the view from the cabin overlooking Juneau Lake is peaceful and serene - we enjoyed using the canoe provided - always a great time at our public use cabins. I support continued funding of these beautiful facilities in the great outdoors for myself and all people to enjoy.

Amazing cabin. Wonderful location, access to canoes onsite is a treat, and cabin was clean and in good condition. At the time we were there available wood to burn was in low quantity.
