Rustic Cabin located right on ABR Trails Foundation XC Ski and Snowshoe Trails. Situated away from other cabins, right on the ski and snowshoe trails, your own wood pile, outhouse, and a woodstove.
The cabins are accessible only by skiing or snowshoeing only. Ski/Snowshoe passes are not included and must be purchased at the trailhead. There is no electricity or plumbing. There is a clean outhouse for each cabin with toilet paper. The heat for the cabin is supplied by a very efficient wood stove which also has a flat cooking surface. The wood stove keeps the cabin very warm but it takes several hours to heat the cabin if it is cold out. When you arrive, you will need to start your own fire and maintain your fire throughout your stay. Firewood is provided just outside your cabin and we send you out with a “firestarter” pack. The cabins have a sleeping area with mattresses but no bedding. Each cabin has a table with chairs/benches. A tea kettle and cast iron pan are provided along with a charcoal grill, but no charcoal.
Cabins are located in .3 km -1 km in from the trailhead. A sled is provided for hauling in gear to pull behind you as you ski out on the skating lanes or travel on the cabin trail by snowshoe. Water is available at the trailhead, bring your own container(s). If you are arriving after 5 PM, please let us know so we can leave supplies out for you. There is a designated area for parking for cabin people which allows us to plow the parking lot.
