This cabin is open year-round and offers relaxation as well as excellent hunting opportunites. The site can be accessed by wheeled plane, depending on conditions. An airstrip is adjacent to the cabin. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.
