Cozy, six‑person sleeping layout
Shack 1 accommodates up to six guests: two fold‑out bottom bunks plus two single top bunks, creating a compact but comfortable sleeping arrangement ideal for a family or small group.
Door‑to‑ice logistics made simple
Guests park at the provided parking point and can arrange round‑trip transportation to the shack for an additional charge — coordinate your ETA by texting Amos so he can plan pickup.

If you prefer not to bring your own equipment, fishing rods, lures and bait can be arranged for an extra fee; otherwise bring your own tackle and a valid Alberta fishing licence for on‑ice angling.
