Two Dog Hut
A beautiful, idyllic, well appointed little cabin in the woods. Secluded but accessible, adorably tiny, cozy as hell and located in the most beautiful setting. Immediately booked another stay!

Pond Cabin
Pond Cabin.
Very inviting camp site! Was so cool to be right on the water. The only thing I would like to suggest would be better signage on the trail leading to the Pond Cabin. It’s a very cool spot 😊

Hermit Hut
4 nights at Hermit Hut.
The Hermit Hut has a great setup. Wood Cabin with easy access bunks , table n chairs , woodstove and 4 large windows . Plenty of room . there is a fire ring with benches and a picnic table. Small meadow on the top of a hill surrounded by trees. Short hike to pond with canoes and dock. Tough hike in with 4 nights supplies. Walking trails and an outhouse near Cabin.

Two Dog Hut
A rustic and unique experience!
We arrived early to check out our spot and I’m glad we did because we got lost finding it the first time; a dry run w/o gear. The horse flies and mosquitoes were horrendous but we aren’t complaining as we are seasoned and prepared. Overall the experience was great and I think I’d prefer this one during the colder months. A barred owl came to visit early in morning and the rustic cabin was cozy enough. I’d recommend bringing an inflatable mattress.

Easy to park, easy to hike, easy to find. The hut has extra sleeping pads and the sleeping loft has plenty of space!
