Gorgeous location, hell to get to.

The cabin appears to be frequented by regulars. It sleeps 6 (ish), has a wood stove and a propane grill/cooktop, and a fair few canned supplies, games, puzzles, etc . It's not filthy but far from spotless. The problem is getting there. We pulled in a 23ft trailer. Its a 15 mile dirt road, severely rutted in spots. Steep hills, sharp corners and lots of both. I spent 90+ minutes driving in, in fear of not getting back out, then another 90+ minutes getting out. Successfully! Whew!

While taking the trailer was our mistake, the road would be daunting for anyone used to pavement and I would strongly suggest 4-wheel-drive.
