Forest Glen Guard Station

We really enjoyed this accommodation on it's own merit, location, history and exceptional location....have I mentioned location?
What we did NOT enjoy are that the previous occupants left the refrigerator filthy, the floor filthy, the bathroom filthy....you get my drift. People....if you are to rent this amazing space, be considerate of those arriving after you. It takes village.....
On an ending note....we love this place.

We loved staying at this charming cabin! While it is not luxurious, it is full of character! We stayed in November and it was a bit chilly out. The cabin has several space heaters that kept us toasty. We will be back!

Great all inclusive cabin. Well stocked and got plenty warm after things got running. We ended up sleeping on the futon downstairs to conserve energy. Kitchen is wonderful and allowed us to prepare a lovely dinner and breakfast. Lovely location in the Trinity Alps....secluded, easy to reach with a wild feel without being remote.

Cabin was workable, very pretty area of the forest, lots of wildlife and pretty hiking areas. That being said, cabin was IMPOSSIBLE to find in the dark. No sign, identifying number, nothing. There are several cabins on the road the instructions tell you to take, with no indication of which cabin is the guard shack. No cell service so you can't call anyone. Husband and I ended up sleeping in our car on some dark back road, waiting for the sun to come up so we could find people to help us find the cabin. However, during the day the road is pretty heavily trafficked for a back road. During day light hours there were at least 3-4 cars per hour driving in front of the cabin, and multiple people parking 20 ft from the cabin to access the river. Not quite the quiet cabin experience we expected. Kitchen sink kept backing up into bathroom sink - super gross. Prior people had left a note in the guest book about the issue, but apparently it did not get fixed. Fridge was full of empty packaging and old food from prior people. Not sure what they were thinking...during a pandemic would you eat a stranger's food/drinks that had been left in a fridge for who knows how long?

More modern as this had electric and flushing toilets a full kitchen and a shower and heat. Very nice located close to the river and the South Fork Trinity Trail that goes along the river. Verizon has 1 bar and At&t had zero. The only thing id suggest is maybe curtains on a spring rod to save heat between the kitchen and futon in the living room. Otherwise this is a great glamping spot.
