Rustic Cabins
Rustic cabins are ski-in or snowshoe-in cabins that will most likely be cold when you arrive and have a private outhouse close by. They are heated by a wood stove that you start and operate, and water is carried in along with your food and bedding.
For the 2025/26 season there are two sets of Rustic cabins, Angela’s Cabins, that Angela will be renting (contact 906-364-4139 or [email protected]), and the rest are Foundation Cabins that the Foundation will be renting (https://abrtrails.com/cabin-rentals/).
