Similar to Wilson Narrows, which resides on the same Wilson Lake , this is a standard cabin that is frequently booked due to the great fishing in the area. This cabin sits on the inlet of the lake, as depicted in the photo above. In 2012, Tom Bass recounted that this cabin was in good shape with a nice porch, beach, and beautiful view.

The 12×14-ft. (pan-abode style) cabin can accommodate 6 people with 2 single bunks and 2 double bunks. Other amenities include a table with benches, a cooking counter, food storage, cleaning equipment and an tiny woodstove for heat. An outhouse is located nearby.
