accommodate up to six guests. Amenities include three bedrooms with six twin
beds, one bathroom with a shower and flush toilet, an electric stove and
refrigerator, a wood-burning stove, and a fire ring and picnic table outside.

equipment. Electricity and running water (non-potable) are available. Limited
cooking utensils, dishware, and cleaning supplies are provided. There is no
