The 4 sleeping bunks are comfy if you are 6’ or less tall; ample floor space if taller.
Kitchen with a sink drain is a novel perk.
Giant dining table could seat 8.
Oil heat stove worked well.
Wood stove is quite old, but operational. Firewood was stocked, but not split so was quite damp. Needed a few days inside the cabin to dry.
Fresh water was a good length stroll, but an easy walk on the trail toward the Castle River Cabin.
AT&T cell/data coverage is good. Verizon has zero service.

Great cabin and location.

The previous person left ~4” of diesel inside the diesel heater/burner inside the cabin. We had to scoop it out and clean all the carbon buildup as much as possible. The heater didn’t work nearly as good as it did last year. Only at full throttle would it put off noticeable heat. It burned way more fuel than last year and kept us much much less warm. The cabin never really got to a point that it was comfortable, and it’s early in the season still

The campground is heavily wooded which provides additional privacy, but noise coming from the nearby recreation area was bothersome. There is easy access to the beach.
The area is hilly, so the parking area for some sites is not level which is an issue with car, RV, or rooftop tent camping. If using a standard tent this not not an issue.

Quiet solitude. Most sites are level. Hot showers available.

I have visited this cabin many times virtually all seasons over the last 43 years. It is a beautiful spot, with different charms, all through the year. Fish in the creek; bear, deer, otters, beavers, martins, mink, and other animals right there; and a comfortable cabin to stay in.
