A long, winding drive up US-26 will lead you to Fresh Coast Cabins. The first thing you’ll see is a large modern building with Fresh Coast Cabins on the front. Drive in front of this building to access the cabin loop. Here’s the property map for reference.
⛽️ Fill up that gas tank. Be sure to top off your tank before you leave Calumet (30 miles before the cabins).
Please do not block the cabin loop. If you bring one more than one car, reach out to us so we can advise on the best places to park.
You should receive a cabin access email three days before your arrival with key codes to unlock your cabin. If you did not receive this email, check your spam folder, and contact us so we can get you that important information. We recommend printing this email out and bringing it with you as there is no wifi or cell service at the cabins.
