Cabin has some black mold, take some chlorox wipes or vinegar to wipe the walls especially in the bunk area. Otherwise fun place, creek close by, saw bears almost every day.

Amazing cabin. Slept 8 with ease. Stove kept us plenty warm. Bring bug spray as the nats and flies are terrible in September. Lots of bears to view across the bay. Highly recommend this cabin

The cabin meet more than our expectations. We used some of the previous renters gifts to the cabin, and left some for others to possibly use.

We stayed at the south cabin and was pleasantly surprised on how stocked the cabin was. Great place to get away from it all.

I left early and wish there was a way to cancel and get your money back after you have checked in. Cabin was great. Stove worked well. I can’t believe how dumb some people are when they complain about there not being sleeping pads and there not being a chef of staff etc. It’s apparent many reviews are written by folks who aren’t from around here.
