Power to charge batteries for my various photography toys, process images on a laptop (which I did not bring). Other than the bunks, the futon, and a small table and 2 chairs there is nothing in the cabin. No drawers, no hooks for coats, no nothin'. I am not complaining, just relaying. There is a nice ceiling fan that does wonders on a hot day! I have some interior photos to post too.

Thanks for the Intel in the cabins. I think this is the first first hand report on them.

Nice photos of the cabin...1st timer coming out for 4 days first week of September...Just put my reservation in..Pretty much hiked the entire SHT and been waiting to come out to IR for a couple years..Thanks again..

Just a few more notes...

The gas grill was great. Used it everyday. It has a nice side burner for coffee pot or pan cooking. I brought steaks, eggs, and brats... They supply the grill tools... tongs/spatula/large fork. You can bring pots and pans, or rent a mess kit from the store. The store is steps away. You have a little lake/harbor view through the trees. I would request the cabin that is farther from the store. That one has the outhouse a lot closer, and has a bit more seclusion from the store and path. Both are great though. The water spigot is 20 steps away and is potable/drinkable. Nice not to have to buy any, bring any, or bring a filtration device while based here. The covered porch was GREAT to sit on during rain.

Coming out Monday Sept.2nd for 3 nights in a Camper cabin...Can't wait..Our 1st trip to IR..Just gonna get our feet wet..Could anyone tell me about how far away from the store/dock these cabins are? Thanks,Steve

Less than a two minute walk. They are right next to the store behind the welcome center.

Thanks for the info Nancy...
