The cabin sleeps 4 people on 2 queen-sized, padded plywood bunks. The large deck on the front side is a great place to relax and enjoy the view. For blustery days, there’s a counter inside with seating, electric lights, and adjustable electric heat. Electrical outlets are provided for charging devices, and AT&T cell service is generally good. An incinerator toilet is provided.

There is no running water or trash service in the cabin. Pack out what you pack in, and bring your own water. Please leave the cabin tidy for the next guests. Campfires are not allowed at Arctic Valley. Pets are allowed in the cabin.
