Nicest Colorado USFS guard station we've staying and we have stayed in 90% here in state. Only recommendation is to change the spring loaded self locking door lock to a manual padlock or deadbolt so people do not inadvertently lock themselves out (as we did).

By far the best USFS cabin in Colorado we have stayed at. We understood it was recently refurbished. Everything was clean and in perfect working order. Easy access and close to many hiking options. Truly wonderful stay.

Perfect family getaway, quick walk to the best fishing, clear water, amazing wildlife viewing. Cabin was rustic and functional. “Roughing it” with pizza from the market right around the corner and amazing dark skies at night for stargazing and catching a meteor shower. Grill out front, no tv, old forest service issued desk and log interior and exterior cabin. So perfect, great for families and a little spartan in the basement but perfectly adequate. Shower and stove, microwave, fridge. Super friendly and helpful staff!!! Can’t say enough good about Ranger Jeff and his crew. Amazing weekend!!!

- Cabins are locked; a combination code will be provided upon booking or can be obtained by calling the Forest Service office during business hours.
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
