The Carnero Guard Station cabin has received high praise for its recent remodel, cleanliness, and serene location, making it a perfect retreat. Guests enjoyed amenities like the new vault toilet and the ADA ramp, and appreciated the attentiveness of the Saguache Ranger. While there were minor issues, such as a non-functional heater and missing trash bags, overall experiences have been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

The cabin was very comfortable. The cabin is situated off the main road, which gives an added privacy. The only caution is the altitude, be familiar with mountain sickness symptoms.
It was a great stay!

Very remote, which was just what we were looking for. The clunky heater and coyote howls all night made for a bit of a creepy stay but that’s the trade off you get for such an amazing location. beautiful!

Nicely equipped, propane heat and lights worked well (it was about 15 degrees outside but was fine in the cabin.) Had pots, pans, utensils, etc. needed for cooking. Bathroom was clean and well equipped. Comfortable bed as well. Good stay and will do again.

I’ve stayed here many times usually in fall have always enjoyed our stay. Wish they would put a rain gutter over the front door and a screen door. Otherwise we have a wonderful time . You have everything but electricity but it’s all propane and a hand well pump what else do you need

We always enjoy staying here, it feels very private plus you have few conveniences that make your stay a much better experience.
