The cabin sits near a road that is very busy especially on Labor day weekend. There was a huge amount of pick ups going by and ATVs going by. What we especially did not like was the two RVs that were parked in the parking area. They finally left Late in the day and or unhappy that they had to move. We had to park our car in the driveway because someone else with an RV trying to pull up there. Going across the road and hiking was a lot of fun. The trees are really pretty there. There are a tremendous amount of flies that get in but we still enjoy the cabin.

We rented Johnson Guard Station for a weekend in Sept 2024. It is a great location with beautiful surroundings. It would have been the perfect trip were it not for the condition of the cabin. I understand that rodents and bugs are inevitable in rustic cabins, but there is a limit. Some basic exclusionary work, maintenance, and a deep cleaning needs to be done on this cabin. There were a large amount of droppings, urine stains, and grease trails from rodents in every corner and on every surface inside this cabin. The window tracks were overflowing with dead bugs. The bed frames were covered in rodent droppings and dead bugs. There are holes in the wall at the bottom of the door frame between rooms that mice regularly came out of. They were coming in through holes around the gas lines. They were regularly seen coming in and out of the stove and the wall heater. Again, I understand it's a rustic cabin and some cleaning may be required. This condition goes beyond "basic cleaning" and has reached unhealthy levels.

This cabin was excellent with a very few exceptions. There are bunkbeds but they do not have a mattress so you sleep on plywood unless you bring your own padding. otherwise everything about the cabin was great. The road in front of the cabin has an exceptional amount of traffic pick up trucks and commercial trucks so even though the cabin seems to be remote at first glance it has lots of noise from time to time.Be careful of the propane stove when you light it. It does not light very quickly and has a tendency to flash up The electric lights on timers are great. It would be nice to have a way to lock the back door from the inside in case you’re worried about security since the door can be bumped open.
