This picture was taken as I skied back to the cabin from olympic biathlon trails. Bring a sleeping bag, everything else is there ... a wood stove, sleeping loft, kerosene lanterns, an outhouse, a bottle of single malt, and my complete collection of mountain magazines dating back to my first trip to Europe in 1972. The cabin is adjacent to the biathlon trails at Mount Van Hoevenberg, as well as the Jackrabbit Trail, so it is perfect for running, hiking, mountain biking, or nordic skiing.
