Our family trip was very nice in spite of the smoke from the fires.
The rustic cabin has a lot of room and an outstanding view of the lake. The water level was high so we did not have much of a beach, but the neighbors were very nice and allowed us to use their beach. It was great to have the use of the kayaks, but difficult to carry them from the lower level, up and down to the water. We found the stairs to the dock, lake, beach quite a climb and a bit of a challenge.
The furnishings, rugs, dishes and pans are all very old and shabby, but OK. There were clean towels and extra blankets. We were not able to get the TV to work, the downstairs bath/shower did not work correctly. The patio furniture is worn out plastic with beat up cushions.
We were warned of the bears and did encounter one when we were sitting outside at lunch time. He was about 10 yards away and ran up a tree when he saw us. He stayed in the tree for the day and was gone the next morning. It is important to follow the owners instructions about bear safety.
. Even though the cabin definitely needs updating, it worked out fine for our family. All of this being said, we enjoyed our trip
