Talk about camping in style! This is the first drive up cabin we've stayed in and on top of accessibility, it also had electricity, lights, a stove, and a refrigerator. In the summer, the cabin is also equipped with running water, a sink, and flush toilet, but the water is disconnected in the winter to prevent issues. There are numerous trails that leave from the cabin and in the winter they make... Talk about camping in style!

There are numerous trails that leave from the cabin and in the winter they make for excellent skiing. The only reason this gets 4 stars is because the wood pile provided is uncovered and soaking wet because it is under a few inches of snow. On top of that, the logs are massive, cut too long for wood stove, so even after splitting them, they still won't fit as they are too long to close the door. Also, the maul is broken, making the chore of splitting wood challenging to say the least.
