The stove works well. A little smoke when lighting, but its insulation seems effective. The wooden front door can be closed with a small latch. There are two windows.
There are three tables and benches anchored to the ground.
Next to the entrance and under the porch, there is a table with benches.
There is also a space in front of the cabin for a fire, with a few benches. Barbecue grills are available inside the cabin.
It's not easy to sleep when there are several of you, as the tables and benches can't be moved. You can try sleeping on or under a table. It's doable; we've done it!
If you use wood to make a fire, remember to cut some for the next ones. Please don't cut down living trees; there's always dead wood around. It's quick and always a pleasure!
