01 — Cabins

Pick a cabin. The trail comes with it.

Each cabin sits at the end of its own marked trail, out of sight of the other two. Beds are made, the stove is laid, and the water tank is full when you arrive.

02 — Activities

Slow days, planned only if you want them.

Nothing here is on a schedule you have to keep. Book at the lakeshore office or leave a note in the cabin log book before 8 pm.
