This an absolute stunning place to stay camp. The views are spectacular, the lake is gorgeous, the hiking is fantastic. I would have given it 5 stars, however, the doors have some pretty major gaps. We stayed there on a week that was particularly cold, and luckily we had a tarp we could use to cover the doors somewhat. Those gaps I do feel stop the wood stove from keeping the shelter warm. Overall, it was amazing. I will be back to stay again.

My wife and I enjoyed our time at the Timpanogas Shelter. We went for the last weekend in October and it was coooold! (20's at night) But we expected that and had many blanket layers and insulating pads. We also brought plenty of wood and kept the fire in the little wood stove going. Our one complaint was that the front sliding doors did not seal together, so the wind blew straight in between the large gap between them.

The shelter is very rustic. We had mice freely running around as well as a chipmunk. It has a dirt/gravel floor, so we had some mats down for stepping out of bed. The shelf is wide enough for two people (side by side) - maybe about 4.5 feet wide. And you could easily sleep 4 people on the shelf - two at one end and two at the other.

The lake is pretty, but quite brush-lined. So there is no beach per-se, but little places where you can get down to the water between the bushes. There are some nice hiking trails. I think it was Indigo lake that we hiked to.
