Bend Guard Station

Better directions or signs are definitely needed. The basement spells moldy due to the water leak. We had to clean the cabin when we got there. There was no firewood but luckily we brought our own.

The cabin was excellent. Clean and comfortable.

Be sure you have a GPS and plug in the coordinates for the guard station. we were lost for 3 hours before we found it. Great spot once we found it! Facility is remodeled very nice. Not far from river for fishing.

Overall the cabin was in fairly decent condition. Lots of snow to play in. Very fresh, very large mountain lion tracker were found just down the road from the cabin so be aware if you are in the area. Did find a leftover piece of pizza left on top of a microwave 🤮 but surprisingly no sign of mouse activity. A very rare experience at a Forest Service cabin, kinda comes with the territory! Thankfully we brought some extra blankets to throw over the furniture to cover the dirty spots. Both ovens had a lot of leftover oven cleaner left inside them from the last time they were cleaned. We clean out one before using it but not the other. Kitchen has a nice upgrade from the last time we stayed but both kitchen sinks have serious leaks happening under them, would hate for the new cabinets & flooring to get damaged.

Bend Guard Station is a perfect cabin in the woods for family and friends to get together and enjoy games, visiting without the interruption of phones/TV. The cabin is very nice inside with everything you need for cooking.. A beautiful area for walking, or any outdoor activity.
