Pond Cabin
Simply Perfect
It is hard to imagine a more peaceful place. Pond Cabin is everything you need and nothing more. The wood stove kept it plenty warm for an early spring weekend retreat, and the surrounding trails made for lovely walks.

Two Dog Hut
Would go back!
Lovely trails, easy to get to. The loft is so bright during the day, and the wood stove kept us cozy. Great place to unwind. Great spot for us and our 2 dogs.

Two Dog Hut
We love Two Dog Hut! This was our second time coming! However, the rain washed away a lot of the trail making the trek in rather tricky. All the wood, even what was inside the hut was damp so starting a fire was impossible. Also, the person before us left their unwanted food around the area, so critters were abundant and even made their way into the hut and put the leftover food in my boots (gross). So please, leave no trace if you come to Two Dog! I would recommend not staying here until the trails are cleaned up, it was a disaster! Overall, a great, cold weekend to unplug.

Pond Cabin
Great cabin
Perfect spot to hand out by the water. Plenty of room. Tight cabin. Woodstove keeps it cozy warm. This had to walk in but when there's snow it's a perfect Basecamp for some great skiing.

Pond Cabin
Cabin is roomy with great windows that look out on to the pond. We were warm and toasty -a terrific winter spot!

Hermit Hut
Hermit Hut is a sweet little cabin. It sleeps four, but the beds take up most of the space and the table is really set up for 3 (though there were 5 chairs). The sleeping surface was a web of metal springs with a thin, felt covering, so you'll need sleeping pads to be comfortable. It's plenty warm with the wood stove. It's quiet and private. The outhouse only has three full walls, but we didn't run into any problems with visitors while on the toilet. It's rustic, but has all the basics covered. Enjoy!
