Really nice location, easy paddle in . Private and spacious with swimming , fishing at your front door. The sauna made for an excellent experience with the cooler weather. The cabin was stocked well beyond my expectations! This is a great spot for those who want a taste of the BWCA without the portages and roughing it . Would highly recommend to others.
