Caribou Island Cabin

Book Cabin

This is a historic cabin that was restored in 2002. The cabin is good for seaplanes for most of the time in the summer, but may be more difficult to enjoy in the fall and winter seasons. There is no close place to tie the seaplane up that provides adequate protection from wind. Pipe Creek Cabin may be a safer option for overnight or extended use to get the airplane out of weather.
