What to bring

Over the years we have had friends and family stay up at the cabin while visiting us or up there alone.  They are always asking us what they need to bring.  Here is the list of what is up there so you know what else you need to bring.

Sleeping Arrangements
  • One queen sized bed
  • One fold out couch

Around the cabin
  • Mosquito coils.  We light one every night just in case there is a mosquito in the cabin.  They make a big difference.
  • Two way window fan.  We set it up to exhaust out and bring in outside air at the same time.  It also has a temperature setting so it shuts off once the cabin hits a certain temperature.
