Fully restored and reconstructed the cabin comfortably sleeps, ten people. The cabin is road accessible, has electricity but no interior plumbing. A toilet and hand pump for water is located just outside the cabin. Propane heat and a woodstove in the living room heat the cabin. There is one bedroom downstairs with a single bed and two upstairs with two double beds and four single beds.  

Max occupancy is 8 people.
