Remote but accessible. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful country as always. Fishing just below the cabin was great for small brookies. Alone without interruption from anyone. Beautiful star lit nights. Perhaps some screens on the windows would allow open windows to circulate air in the cabin Oven and stove top worked great. Third time here and it was super! Did a thorough clean upon departure. Will return in the Fall.

My family have been coming to Brewery Creek Guard Station for 9 years. We really enjoy the cabin and environment. The cabin was cleaner than usual this time. I think whoever is maintaining the cabin is top notch. We always appreciate this experience!

Lovely spot! Using the propane appliances can be tricky but we figured it out. We didn't see another soul all weekend. Beds were reasonably comfortable. We would return.

The view from the cabin was beautiful and I was pleased to find hiking trails nearby. The cabin was clean and well stocked and the occasional deer visited. In case anyone else is "lock challenged", the trick is to push down on silver loop toward brass base to release.

The cabin is very well equipped with propane fridge, stove, lights and heat. There are neighboring homes in site but you can still enjoy the peace and quiet of a getaway in the woods here. Bring tick spray for summer hikes. There is plenty of wood in the area for camp fires. Pack an ax and saw. Great access to hiking, mountain biking and jeep trails.

Fantastic little cabin with all the amenities you could want for a rustic getaway. Fishing didn’t work out for us; we didn’t see any fish at all and the beaver ponds that used to be below the cabin are washed away. I would think the fishing used to be great, but alas, not this time. Clean and comfortable, more so than expected! Quiet, very quiet, with no one seen or heard besides us. Views of the mountain up the valley are spectacular. Definitely going to try to come back.
