Bassam Guard Station

Our very favorite and best Thanksgiving. Such a phenomenal, historical gem. We are so thankful for the program that made it possible to experience such a special place.

Great little historic cabin retreat. It was clean and well maintained. There were a lot of mosquitoes so bring bug spray. The picnic table may need to be painted, we got splinters the first time we sat so never used it after that.

Awesome little cabin and piece of history that our family enjoyed greatly. Everyone should be aware of how strained the USFS resources are, please take care of this gem! The future of places like this being available to rent depends on us using it responsibly and treating it respectfully.

Turn the door knob all the way clockwise to lock the latch into the door jamb, and then all the way counter clockwise to open it. Stove works good; leave door open when cooking or carbon monoxide in cabin will rise (I had a CO2 reader that began rising when I cooked). Climbing the hill to the West gives you a wonderful view. I know from past experience the wildflowers in early August are gorgeous; so are the aspens in the first week of October.

The Bassam Ranger Station surpassed all of our expectations. It felt like we had a small private chunk of paradise to ourselves. Thank you for making such a iconic and historical site available to the public. It was a top notch experience.
